We spent a week around Labor Day on Cape Cod, and it was our last day of vacation that we found out we were having a baby. While trying to conceive, I was charting basal body temperatures to track ovulation and stay on top of my cycles. When I took my temp on the 13th, it had jumped high when it normally would have dipped low as a signal of my period coming the next day. Knowing this was typical of pregnancy I jumped up to head to the bathroom and test.
Here is a picture of my final chart resulting in pregnancy:
I took two tests before bringing them to Jeff who was still in bed. They were light positives because I was only 11 days past ovulation, but they were clearly positive. We were going to be parents!! Jeff was in slight disbelief - not sure whether to trust the test, not wanting us to get excited and disappointed. I took another test to be sure - still positive. Still pregnant. All smiles, we told our parents the good news. Due date 5/26/10.
First positive test:
And the first digital test (there really is something in seeing it spelled out for you - I think this is really when Jeff finally started to believe it as well):
