Dear Little Clammy,  Today we found out we are pregnant!!! It is one of the happiest days of our lives! Your dad and I were both a nervous wreck these past two weeks waiting to find out if the IVF worked or not. I rode on the emotional rollercoaster daily.  One minute I would feel positive and hopeful and then I would turn to feeling hopeless and depressed. We are both still in shock that after two long years, two IVF’s and two IUI’s that it worked! You are our little miracle. We nicknamed you our Clam because we are happy as clams!!! Even though we just found out we are pregnant you are already 4 weeks today.  So far the only symptoms I have are a little cramping and I’m more tired. Our first beta test came back at 107. I cried when the nurses called and told me. Then I cried when I told your daddy. Then I cried when I told my sisters and mom and I cried when I told my best friend Stacey. I never used to be such a cry baby! We go back on Monday for the second beta test to see if the numbers are doubling properly.   We love you Clammy!!!!
