Extreme Kookiness

It feels extremely kooky to be writing this post, but here goes nothing.

15dpo: 3 positive hpts.
16dpo: paranoid patient that I am, made my midwife give me a beta. beta number = 199
17dpo: took another hpt: still very positive.
18dpo: twiddling my thumbs with anxiety.
19dpo: beta #2 - 600.

Guess this is some for-reals business going on. My doubt stems from all the cramping I've been experiencing since 13dpo or so - which I thought was proof positive AF was on her merry way. Some of it feels grossly uncomfortable, enough to make me not want to stand up, but so far, so good - no spotting to accompany, no AF (although I am taking progesterone supplements). So, here's the proof positive:

I won't subject you all to photos of the other 3 hpts I fervently took this week.

P.S. - for all peeps in know IRL--please don't congratulate me on Facebook. You all have enough common sense to know this, but I've read some horror stories...didn't that happen to someone around here recently?!

P.P.S. - for all the famiglia I'll be seeing this weekend - just tap us on the shoulder and smile, please, until I'm ready to share at large. We are telling my mama and sis when we land there tomorrow morning.

AWESOME!
Don't you love those digital tests when they say the right thing?

And why is it that I feel, somehow, that I should also be posting a BFP? Shouldn't we be pregnant together again? It was fun the last time.

Yay! I'm so happy for all three of you.
