The "BFP"

Online it's referred to as the "BFP" the Big Fat Positive...

April 17: I couldn't wait and took a pregnancy test, even though it was super early. When the faint line indicating "positive" appeared, I thought I must be imagining it because I wanted so much for it to be true. So I threw it away and didn't say anything to Brett. However, the whole day I kept thinking, "could I be???"

April 18: I took another test in the morning and again saw a faint line. Hmm...but again, I just tossed it and went to work. When I got home I decided to take another because I had to discuss this with Brett. I saw another faint line and then decided to take a digital test. I was shaking when I took the first test and all it said was "Error!" DOH! I tested with a second digital and it said "Pregnant" almost immediately. I was So excited! I ran downstairs and carefully wrapped the stick (which was covered and clean!) and told Brett I had a present for him. He's used to me doing silly things like that so I think he was expecting another candy bar or car wash mitt like I had given him the previous week. He opened the box, looked at the stick and said, "REALLY?" with this awesome smile on his face.

It still hadn't quite sunk in, so I went on to take another 6 tests...one each day; a total of 10. I'd leave them on the sink each morning for Brett and we watched as each day it seemed the line got darker. Brett said, "Yup, I think you're getting more pregnant by the day!" :p
