Baby Powell!!

I have some great news!!!
 I went in for the pregnancy bloodwork this morning at 8:15. Last time I had this awful gut feeling and I had bad dreams, etc.  This time I didn't really feel anything.  I was just cruising with the windows down listening to old school music on pandora and not thinking about a thing.  When I got to the fertility clinic, the front desk people and phlebotomist kept asking if "today was the day", and I told them it was.  So we did the bloodwork and I left!  I got home at about 9 and waited VERY impatiently for the call (as did all of you!!) I checked my voicemail 7 times before I finally heard "you have one new message".. so my heart starts POUNDING out of my chest and a clutch the phone with all my might and listen for the news...

"Hi this message is for Tifani Powell. hi Tifani this is Andi calling with your results and I do have good news! Your first level came back positive. It was a 250 which is great!! its a good, high number.  [[insert run down of meds I still need to take]] We do want you to get another level so we will have you come back Friday to make sure it doubles and then we will get a third level on Monday.  We did transfer back two embryos but we will not know how many implanted until we do the ultrasound, but we do know you have a good high first number.  So congratulations, you are pregnant!"

WHAT?!! Is it weird that we spent about $14,000 on this treatment and went through so much crap and it never really crossed my mind that it would result in a pregnancy? I am in so much shock!  We are definitely not out of the woods yet as it is still so early.. but everything looks great so far.  This probably won't even feel real until I am giving birth!

So from this point on I am in uncharted waters.  I have never made it this far before, so I am not really sure what to expect next.  I want to thank everyone so much for sticking with me, thinking of me, helping us raise money, and most of all praying for us during the most difficult time in our lives.  I can't believe I am saying this.. but baby Powell will be here in March and we could not be more excited!!!!
