A big smile and a big bump selfie for the arrival of my fabulous Mum and lovely god mother. Off to pick them up from the airport. They are arriving with tons of baby supplies to get us super organised! Countdown 7 weeks 4 days to go.

So I thought I could write a piece on how I went about my first positive pregnancy test and although they seem pretty straight forward, I came to learn that they were quite the opposite.There are ones with lines, some pink some blue, there are digital ones and even the option of a blood test! When Dean and I first started trying I had just come off the implanon so my body's hormones were a mess and so were my cycles. The first one was expected and came within the first week of having my rod removed, because there's no longer any progesterone hormones running through your body, the hormone to stop you getting pregnant! The second was overly late however I never really had regular periods. I thought (and hoped) this would be the month I had become pregnant, but much to my dismay, I woke up and had realised quite quickly, it wasn't. To be honest I did go back to bed and cry I little, I was really disappointed and just assumed this would be the beginning to a very long process. So after those awful 5 days, I got back up on my horse (pun intended) and tried again!! I'd been waiting and waiting for my fertile window to start again so I knew exactly when to saddle up, but it felt like it wasn't anywhere in sight. Until, I started receiving pains in my lower abdomen that lasted longer than usual. I thought to myself this is too strange, so I'd decided that morning to go down to Safeway and buy that expensive digital pregnancy test that I knew Dean would be so annoyed at me for buying. So off to work I went, feeling a little bit excited but remembering not to get my hopes up like the first time. I arrived at work and saw one of my girlfriends Vanessa and filled her in. Excitedly I ran to the loo, did the test and quickly walked back to my desk. To my surprise I looked down to check if the digital hour glass was still there, it was, but along with the word PREGNANT ... I felt so weak and yelled out to Vanessa to tell her. We hugged and both had huge smiles on our faces. I could not believe it. I had to call Dean. I should've expected it, but he didn't even believe me. I think he was shocked, I mean we were trying but I don't think either of us thought it would happen so quick. I ended up finishing my shift and running to the nearest chemist to buy more cheap tests to show Dean I wasn't fibbing! As soon as he saw the test he knew it was real. It was a tough week ahead as he didn't seem so excited, he was worried and edgy. I ended up sitting down with him to sort this out! What's wrong? He was so stressed about money. I assured him I would do everything I could to keep making money, going to work and paying off our debts. He soon did a 180 and I had him back, he was excited!!! So eventually after a lot of reading, I realised only some tests work for different people. I found the best was digital for me, as it does show you how far along you are as well. I took a few of the First Response brand (with the pink lines) which didn't seem to work. Someare stronger at picking up your HCG levels and some aren't as strong. So keep faith my fellow TTC-ers. The end is not nigh! You might just have the incorrect test :)

So, watch this space!
