Girls, your stories are all great and I'm teary and so looking forward to TTC#2! Sushee, yours particularly touched my heart, as did yours Sarah. Esp since I know you guys had quite a road to get there.

Having said that, I feel a bit guilty for our average finding out day! I had a 'feeling' and a couple of dreams and AF was three days late (I made myself wait the extra couple of days, but I think I knew). I walked down to the chemist while DP was at work, bought one test (I was sure I wouldn't need a second) and went home and took it. I left it for the 5 mins without peeking and when I saw it I cried out and started shaking! I decided to wait to tell DP when he got home (we weren't trying, so this was going to be a shock) and wouldn't you know it, he calls to ask if it's okay if a couple of his mates come over for dinner and to watch something on TV that night. Timing! They didn't leave until almost midnight and I was BUSTING to tell him. So he finally comes in and I told him to sit on the bed, I had something to tell him. He knew straight away (although he was in a bit of shock) and we started talking about what we would do now, etc, etc. He and his mates had been mucking around outside talking about how each of them would be the last to be married, settled (although we'd been living together for five years at this stage - who's he kidding?!), etc, so he thinks it's really ironic that he came in from that conversation to suddenly find out he was going to be a dad.

The stupid thing is, I didn't realise the test would still be okay that much later and I THREW IT OUT!! We never did another, and DP thought the GP would do one the next day when we went. GP says those HPT are reliable, didn't need to, gave me a referral to my ob and off we went. I'm sure DP was slightly doubtful right up until our 12 wk appt when we got to see Lucy on the screen. He says that was such a shock, to see her right away like that.

So I'm looking forward to something a bit more ceremonial for #2!
