9dp3dt...Darker still and queasy too

The daily POAS fest continues so I can see a darker stick every day...I'm such a nut! But today's test was definitely darker and therefore things are still looking fantastic!!

I also spent a majority of today feeling super queasy. Now I've been slightly queasy since starting the progesterone and estrogen but I would classify today's ongoing bout as "advanced queasiness". It's probably too soon to blame it on pregnancy hormones, but who cares, I'm taking it as a good sign. As anyone struggling with infertility will tell you, we rejoice at the onset of any pregnancy symptoms, no matter how unpleasant they may be.

• Puking??? Fine by us. We've prayed for the day morning sickness would start so we could kneel in front of the porcelain god and thank the heavens for good strong pregnancy hormones.
• Big, sore boobs? Bring 'em on! Reminds us that our babies will be well fed. We'd be happy to buy bigger bras that only fit for a week or two before we have to buy a bigger size - no problemo! And we're sure our DH will love the pregnancy rack.
• In a few more weeks when we can't fit into our fat pants anymore, will we cry? Oh hell no!! At this point we don't need to worry about fitting into those fat pants for another 9 or 10 months. We're going to put on comfy clothes that highlight this baby bump we've waited ages to see and feel. (And as somone who has not had to wear maternity clothes in 19 years, can I just say maternity clothes are so much nicer these days!!! We're no longer limited to tents and tarps...YAY!!!)
• Tired all the time? This will be good practice for when the baby comes.
• Peeing all the time? Since I'm an old fart, I already pee all the time so what's new? Maybe I'll keep a stash of internet cheapies so peeing all the time can be fun.

So I say, "Symptoms, come on in whenever you're ready!!" I know we still have a ways to go before we know if this pregnancy is viable (many betas, many ultrasounds, many, many things along the way) but right now I'm going to keep looking forward with positivity. First beta is now less than 2 days away. My appointment for the blood draw is Thursday at 8am and I hope to have the results back a few hours later...the suspense continues!
