I did mention that I had taken another test last night. As soon as I saw the bleeding the first thing I did was grab the second Answer test I had in the drawer, just to double check, just to see. I just looked at it to make sure it still had a line (it did), Den said it looked darker this time (I shrugged and said, “Looks like it, I guess”) and then tossed it in the drawer with all the others.<\/p>\n

This evening I remembered I had it there so I pulled it out to take a look. Ummm, yeah. Just a little darker.<\/p>\n

Here is the one from Tuesday morning, 11dpt, FMU. (And the pic with Sheepie<\/a>.)

And this is the one I took last night, Thursday, 13dpt, first thing after getting home from a large dinner (ie, not ideal POAS circumstances).

So I guess I finally got that “obviously dark” line that I was waiting for. I’m glad it happened when it did, because I really really needed some reassurance yesterday, but at the same time I’m a little pissed because I can’t sit back and say, “There we go!” and feel all better now. The bleeding has ensured that I remain paranoid as hell about this. I want to knock on my uterus and say, “Hello?? Anyone still in there??”<\/p>\n

::<\/p>\n

This embryo was the only one we had not named, out of all the embryos we have transferred. After two failed cycles with named little embryos, Den said he didn’t want to name anything until I actually got pregnant, which I totally understand.<\/p>\n

So here we are, pregnant (for the moment), and it has no name. I felt a little bad about that. We started tossing around silly ideas, laughing, and then forgetting about it.<\/p>\n

The one thing that occurred to me was that it is Easter. I have a habit now of checking the shelves for little sheep, and of course right now there are a ton of little bunnies. I thought that was kind of cute. I tabled it as a possibility.<\/p>\n

Yesterday we went to visit my Oma (grandma) in the care home she lives. Everything is decorated for Easter, which is of course not the least bit surprizing. We’re walking her down the hall in her wheelchair at a leisurely pace, looking at the art and photos on the wall. And then, all alone on a corkboard, there was this:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I stared and blinked, then pointed it out to Den and mom. A sheep and a bunny. I mean, really. People stared at me funny as I took a picture with my big fancy camera of the little thing on the corkboard.<\/p>\n

Then tonight we went to go see a movie in the theatre (Knowing). It was a sci-fi\/suspense kind of movie. And then just randomly, though it had absolutely no significance to the plot… you guessed it, bunnies. And not just like in the background that you glimpse. I’m talking a main character says, “Look! Bunnies! We get to keep them!” I leaned over to Den and hissed quietly, “Bunnies!!”<\/p>\n

So it appears the moons have aligned and this embryo is the Bunny. Because, dude, even I cannot willfully ignore that many signs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
