So first off thanks everyone!!! I totally wanted to be sneaky announcing, because well that is just my MO 
Ok here is what went down. I basically had to pee on something for like days. Since like Friday LOL, but I knew it was too soon to tell, so I waited until Monday morning to use the old OPK trick since I only had 1 HPT left. Well I didn't get a smiley =( so I was pretty bummed BUT when I released it from the holder thingy, I saw two lines, one was faint but it was there. So I texted Melanie and asked her what she thought. She said she didn't really trust them that early and her rule was not to test before 11 or 12 DPO. I was 9 at this point.
Sooo I went to work and didn't tell Nick anything, just that I had a good feeling. Well for the past week my boobs have been crazy sore but Nick wasn't holding to that since they have been sore before AF was to arrive previously. BUT while I was at work I noticed some nasty BO in the elevator at work. I have NEVER smelled BO in the elevator and let alone all freaking day. It was seriously grossing me out. So that was my first clue. THEN I went to eat my afternoon snack of greek yogurt and it tasted funny. I mean like REALLY funny (which totally depresses me since I love greek yogurt for my afternoon snack). So that was my next clue. I decided then and there that if my temp was still high on Tuesday I was going to go for it with the HPT.
Tuesday morning, temp was high. POAS and got a faint +!!!!!!! So I was totally freaking out. I woke up Nick since it was like 5 am and told him to get his glasses on. He did and saw the + too! YAY!!!!
So I emailed Mel, Jess & Dani and Mel texted me back and I asked her if I should go in to see her mom. She called her mom and called me back. She told me to go in to get my blood drawn so we could check things out. So I did 
Test came back positive of course =p and my first beta at being an hour pregnant was 45, progesterone was 22.6!!!! Soooo I'm going back on Monday to check on the betas but Mel's mom said she was very happy with the numbers
I was really curious on the progesterone since my sister had 2 miscarriages and really low progesterone numbers when she had those, but I am thankful that I am a completely different person and my numbers are good
AAAAAHHHHHHHH soo excited!!! I can't stop smiling I don't know how I'm gonna keep this in!
So we aren't going to tell parents until after the first U/S. Rest of family/friends probably not until 12 weeks or so. So obvious disclaimer please don't say anything on FB =p
WOW that was a novel LOL

Squuueeeeeeeeee! So excited for you!! Congrats & Happy, healthy 9 months!
Though, I'm sad that your greek yogurt tasted funny... that's like my favorite food ever.
Beyond happy for you!!

Congrats again! I'm so happy for you!
My bff knew she was KU b/c of her heightened sense of smell too! And my mom knew b/c of the way things tasted too. too funny.
Yes, so what's your EDD?

Thanks again ladies!
By my LMP EDD is 10/19 but by O date it is 10/29 sqeeeee
and Linds I'm beyond depressed about the greek yogurt thing. I am going to give it a try again today and see if it still tastes funny, otherwise I would love some healthy snack tips!
Oh and I think this nose is going to be the death of me. I was just in the lab for an half hour and it smelled sooo funny. Grrrrrrrrr.
And you can try and eat 'healthy', but honestly... the goal of the 1st tri is just to get through it. I sustained on whatever I could get down. Once I got into the 2nd tri and started feeling better, that's when I focused more on the quality of snacks/food I was eating. Just keep taking your prenatal vitamin and make sure it has enough folic acid. That little embryo will take everything it needs from you
When is your first u/s?

I couldn't do the plain as soon as I found out I was pg, but the fruit flavored ones I still like. I'd prefer to have the plain with real fruit, but I figured this was better than nothing - I need the protein since I don't eat meat.
Congratulations again!! How exciting!!
