Life Changes

Last week was a big week. We went home to see our families for a week, then I drove back to PA, and Ben boarded a plane for Quantico. He started US Marine Officer Candidate School (OCS) on Sunday, so he flew out of Wichita Saturday morning. While that is very exciting, and I had an unpleasant rest area adventure, that isn't the big news. The Big News is that I am finally pregnant!!!

I haven't been on birth control May of 2006, so it was a long time coming. After 4 rounds of Clomid, temping, and lots of emotion, I got the second line. :) Even better, I was able to tell Ben before he started OCS. I got my first round of blood-work results today, and my HcG levels were nice and high. I get more blood drawn today to confirm that they are doubling every 2 days like they should. I have an initial belly shot, so you can see my pre-baby belly. I think it looks like I'm already a couple of months, but that's just because I can't get rid of it. LOL. Maybe someday. I will post that picture as soon as I can get the camera and computer to talk to each other again.
