So, is it one stripe pregnant, two stripes not? Sorry, I've actually never done a pregnancy test, so I'm clueless.

Exactly the opposite...

Two lines is positive.

I'm in shock.

Lylac, no no no, root for a boy! But a girl would be wonderful too! I just hope for full term.

And thank you! I'm really happy and scared and thrilled and petrified and.... pinching myself constantly!

I've been on prenatals for years, so I have that covered. I'll arrange a doctors appointment in the next week or so. Then I'll be more confident that my period won't come to pop my bubble.

Linda512 & AmyAnne, thank you for the congrats!
