Two Pink Lines!!

O.k. so I could not hold out, I took my first home pregnancy test Saturday morning - 8 days after transfer. The result was...very very faint. We took the second one this morning - and sure enough the second line was much darker today. So, I think I am pregnant. WOW.

Hubby is not too excited yet...I suppose he doesn't want to get his hopes up - or mine. He says there are so many things that can go wrong. He's also hoping for twins! Wow. He says he just wants to go through all this one - no more money, no more shots. I see where he is coming from, but twins? Would be a lot more work for me. He gets to leave each day, 10 hours a day...while I'd be home feeding TWO little ones all day.

Friday, we get to find out how pregnant we are. I am pretty excited!

Our Embryos...

Here is the photo of the embryos we were given. Are they not just the cutest. :)  I hope they are still inside and growing, well maybe just one of them. I keep thinking about having twins. Scary thought, but I suppose not too bad....

Pluses of Twins:
1)  Our family would be complete, we wouldn't have to do all of this all over again and cost us a ton more money.
2) I'd only have to be pregnant once.
3) the children have a built in playmate.
4) Ideally, one boy and one girl would be awesome.  Not, sure what I would if we had two boys. I've always wanted a girl and only two children. I wonder if I would feel like a 3rd child. Perhaps adopt the girl for a 100% guarantee.

Minuses:
1) Health of myself & the babies.
2) Chance of premature birth much higher.
3) Body stretching even more than I would like.
4) First few years are going to be very tiresome and probably impossible to continue to work from my home.
