My 1st BFP OPK!

I am so excited!!

Why might you ask?

Because I got a BIG FAT POSITIVE ovulation predictor test today!! 

CD 15 Positive OPK

What does this mean?

Well. The test detected a surge of LH. This is the last hormone to peak before ovulation. So basically, I could ovulate anywhere from today until two days from now. I've never seen a bfp opk before! Hopefully from the Clomid I am a fertile Myrtle and with some good BD timing, magic can happen!

As I type this, I just watched the Beyonce VMA performance. When she finished her song, she dropped the microphone and revealed a beautiful baby bump! Quick shot to a proud Jay-Z jumping around and getting congratulated by Kanye West had me almost in tears. I can't wait to see the look on Matt's face when we tell people that I am pregnant. Bliss!

Let me write about Matt. Last night we went to one of the most beautiful weddings. It was a bicycle ride out to the beach at sunset where about 20 or so of us gathered around the bride and groom at the waters edge of the beach and watched them pledge their love and vows to each other. I had tears streaming down my face, it was so lovely. (Congratulations E & T!) Riding back to the reception location, the bride mentioned Matt and my anniversary, which is coming up in November. She thought we could do something like the bike ride for it. Thinking out loud I said, "I might have a baby on the way by then." 

On the way home that night, Matt said it dawned on him that, not only COULD we, but that we WOULD have a baby on the way. He said he just knew it. Then, on a trip to Rockport today, he told me about something that was said by one of his favorite talk radio guys from Covino and Rich. Covino recently got married and had a baby girl. He said that if asked 5 years ago whether he wanted a boy or girl, he would have said "Boy, hands down."...but now that he has his baby girl, that if God were to come to him and give him the chance to go back and instead have a boy, he would say "No way in hell. My daughter is the coolest and best little Daddy's girl ever."  Matt, who has an admiration for this guy, said it really struck him. All along he's been very "pro-boy", but now he's very excited either way.  Oh, how my heart soars...

My sweet husband

Thank you for all of your support, prayers, and well wishes. Whether pregnancy happens or not for us this month, we are in such a thrilling place in our lives. I have faith that everything is going to be just perfect.

HUGE happy face, -Natalie
