Please be sticky, baby!

A few months back in March, I had posted a faint positive pregnancy test - I was bursting with excitement. Extremely ready for a new step in a different direction, a little mini me to love and care for and protect. I was scared and excited and nervous all in the same instance. Only to find out, it was a chemical pregnancy -- and all of my hopes were shattered. I thought, how could I have been trying a whole year, I finally get my bfp, and it's ripped right out from under me? It didn't seem fair and honestly for the last few days I was seriously considering getting fertility testing of some kind.

Well today I just had a weird feeling. According to Flo I was a couple days late and according to Glow I am 1 day late. When I was at work, as I was leaving my supervisor asked what I was doing differently with myself today because I was "glowing". I told her I had purchased some pretty fancy moisturizer and it must be working well. I never would have thought my whole world would flip upside down just a few hours later. The glowing comment didn't make me think anything weird at all. I went to the store and started looking for a gift and Father's Day card for my SO. The weird feeling I had came from having a strong strange urge to get tests as I strolled past the isles.

So I picked up a few tests. I didn't have a cup available for these cheap 88 cent tests with the syringe so pathetically, I gathered about two droplets that I could manage and got them on the test. Not only a minute later did the test pop up positive. As it sat there for a couple hours the lines of course...'settled' I guess, don't know if you guys can see that darker line on the side of the test line but I hope that doesn't make any negative difference at all. I'm pulling at strings, hoping for any reason this test isn't a false positive due to the weird line on the side of the test line but I'm sure it's normal. After all the hcg wouldn't show up at all if hcg wasn't in my system. I grabbed some prenatals immediately after finding out. I want this to work out so badly. Someone please cure these thoughts in my mind by confirming with me this is real. I haven't taken another one yet out of fear my pee may be too diluted to come up with another positive. Chemicals are so heartbreaking. I want to take another in the morning to confirm. If you beautiful ladies have any advice for a newly expecting mama, I would love to hear what you have to say and I appreciate you reading this far in.
