| | | Sooooo..... that didn't take long!
After being in month one of TTC... I had no high hopes.
But the HPTs have come back positive! That puts me at 4 weeks, three days along.
I guess I just got an early Christmas present that I don't get to meet until Christmas!
I have already let all of my doctors know, have a first appointment set up w/ the baby doc.... and the diabetic educator has already placed me on the diabetic pregnancy diet.
What a ride this should be!

| | | Thanks Chris, and congrats to you too!
This is #1 for us, and honestly, with my endocrine issues, I really thought it would take awhile. I'm praying it sticks!

| | Congrats Birdy. That is super news.
I'm T1 with a 17 yr old so I decided that one was enough.
My nephew just informed me that his girlfriend is pregnant so I get a baby to spoil !!!
Congrats to you and your spouse, Chris !!
