Congratulations! You're Pregnant (a questionnaire)

Where and when I took the home pregnancy test:
I did a home pregnancy test November 20, 2010. We didn't want to take it and run the chance of a false negative or positive prior to the blood tests, so we waited until the pregnancy was confirmed.

First reaction when I realized I was pregnant:I knew I was pregnant prior to taking the home test. The first blood test was November 17, 2010. HCG levels that day were measured at 115. I was elated, but in a state of disbelief. (We'd been trying so long, it seemed like a dream). The confirmation blood test was on November 19, 2010 and HCG levels were measured at 239 - so we were officially declared pregnant at that time!

How I told my hubby:
He was the one who called Lab Talk to get the results, so he actually told me!

Reaction:
We were both elated. (It was surreal for quite some time.) We were almost in a state of shock or disbelief.

Who we told right away and their reactions:
We told immediate family (parents and siblings) first. They were all so excited! I had no idea either of our brothers would be so excited to become uncles.

Is this your first baby:
Yes.

When did you tell your friends/coworkers:
Most of them have known from the beginning, but we will tell those we don't know after our first meeting with the OB on January 5th. It's still so surreal... I want to see the baby one more time before the big announcement!
