It’s a squinter.
This morning’s test revealed something. Not an in your face something. Not a celebrate by throwing out the feta cheese something. But something. It was a squinter. A maybe.
It was enough to get me to wake up Mother to see if she could see what I saw. My Mother, I should point out, was legally blind for years and even after eye surgery to replace her lenses, still needs strong reading glasses. If my Mother could see something then maybe it would be more of a something.
She could see something.
We then proceeded to try and photograph the something in the hopes that seeing it on a computer screen would make it more real. We tried my camera and my mother’s point & shoot. While my view of the something began to fade Mother swears hers increased. “Don’t you SEE that?” she begged? And I didn’t.
And I really, really wanted to.
I can see the something when I have the test in my hand. I don’t need to hold it up to a light or tilt it a certain way- there is something there. But like Bigfoot it refuses to be documented to my satisfaction.
But it does give me a bit more hope as I approach tomorrow’s blood test. Blood is for reals and there is no squinting involved.
Oh PLEASE let this be it.

Great Hosting By:
so exciting. hope tmw yields proof positive. xoxo
Great!! Sending so many positive babydust vibes and sticky glue to you!!!!
Toes and fingers crossed!!
wishing and hoping and praying
Quietly celebrating the squinty squinty line. *grin*
SO exciting!!!
let it be!!!! I can’t wait to hear about tomorrow (or the day after and the day after)!!!
I saw the blog title and just freaked! Omg this is so exciting!! You are 12DPO, right, of COURSE it is going to be a squinter!!! Like I said I was 14DPO with twins and it was not a in your face line!!
I can’t take it…the suspense!
I hope I hope I hope I hope I hope I hope!!!!
My first (positive) pee stick (at 11dpo) was also a squinter. It was so much a squinter, that it was easy to convince myself that nothing was there. Except. When I sort of tilted it the right way & maybe closed my eyes a bit …
Been thinking about you & the iotas all week. May the squinting lead to a big, obvious positive!
Oh sweetie–we are HOPING with you. i have butterflies thinking about tomorrow’s test!!
*hug* I’ll squint, if it helps!
I clicked over and I could totally see the faint line. Because you told me or because it is easy to see when you squint–I don’t know. But the crazy-ass chick in me would call for an early beta. Would explain the line and ask the beta to be moved up. Just to know.
I totally think I can kinda see an actual line there!
Here’s *crossing my fingers* for tomorrow!
Tons of prayers/good vibes continue in your direction.
Crossing everything possible!
PS happy belated birthday!
yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and happy belated birthday!
I definitely saw the line. Yes, squinting, but there is something there. I am all crossed for you. oxoxo
oh how i hope this is it for you! hoping for two sticky iotas for you. and i totally see the line. can’t wait to hear the beta results tomorrow. taking anymore tests today? how about a digital to satisfy the masses?
I could see it, and didn’t even have to squint! I so hope this means great news tomorrow.
P.S. Jo is sending baby vibes. He wants an Internet cousin.
[...] the good new department…Cali may be expecting! As we all say a line is a line. And I can’t wait for tomorrow’s beta! [...]
I’m hoping that faint line will turn into a much darker line and that tomorrows blood test will be a nice strong beta. Good luck with blood draw tomorrow.
It may be a squinter, but I think I see it!!!
You are! You are! OMG I’m so excited about those pics. Best birthday present ever? (Ok, a little late, but still?)
There is no denying that EPT, baby! You’ve got a birthday present in there for sure!!!
That is a beautiful positive EPT!!!!!
I can totally see the accuclear, but that EPT, my stars, that EPT is movie-star pretty. Yeah!!!!!!!!!!
Holy pajamas! Yay!
Oh let this be it Cali! I can’t wait until tomorrow!
Most prettiest squinter ever !!
Go Iotas, Go !!
A line is a line! I am so excited for you and can’t wait for the beta result!
I got my positive last year at this time!
Looks good to me! I have a great feeling about the beta. I wish you the best between now and then… the waiting has got to be so exciting/excruciating!
Just visited the pics and, as my niece would say, I seed it! I seed it! Didn’t have to squint or anything. All the best for your beta!
there is something there!! WHOOOFUCKING HOOOOOO SOOO happy my dear. Keep peeing on sticks!
That is freaking awesome.
I totally see it!!!!! Congratulations!!!!!!
Well, that’s made my day.
Hopefully tomorrow you’ll have something concrete — that you can see in less than the light of a thousand suns!
I have a good feeling about this . . .
OMG Cali!
That is a huge BFP!!!
Congrats! I am so happy for you!!!
OMG, how exciting! I am wishing and hoping and praying for you… I hope it keeps getting darker!
I can see it, too, without squinting. I’m superstitious, so I won’t congratulate you out loud… : 0 ) at least, not yet…
I see it too. That EPT is pretty undeniable. Fingers crossed for a great number at tomorrow’s beta.
holy shit - it’s SO real.
Dear G-d, please please please let this stick for a healthy 9 months.
Squeeeeeeeeee!
Holy shit.
Woo hoo!!! Congrats!!! Fabulous news!

I can totally see it too!!! Huge hugs your way!!!

My fingers are crossed and my hopes are up. I totally see the line… hopefully the blood test will see the line too. You do deserve this!
I’m so thrilled for you! I agree with others that you need to go for the digital now. You so deserve this.

p.s my b/f had a super faint line like yours A DAY LATER and now is the proud mama of twin boys - woo HOO!

WHOA!
Never mind squinter - that’s as clear as a bell.
How amazing.
Hooray.
So…My daughter was born two days after your birthday, thus making her your Virtual Capricorn Godchild. According to my rough calculations, your kid(s) should be due around my birthday (9/14), so that would make them my Virtual Virgo Godchildren. Yes, this is as it should be.
[...] It’s a squinter. This morning’s test revealed something. Not an in your face something. Not a celebrate by throwing out the feta […] [...]
Oh Cali, that EPT is undeniable. I’m so thrilled for you that I can’t stand it. C’mon, big beta!!!!
Finally. I had to call M. and tell her the news. Then Jen and Cait too. What an AWESOME day. 2008, bring it on!!!!!
Yay!!! There are no words!
hooray! that is without a doubt undeniably positive. stick and grow, little iotas!
Yahoo! I’ve got everything crossed (except my eyes and I can still see it!) that tomorrow’s test shows what I see today!!!!!
Woo-hoo! You have arrived in Preggo City!
OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! CALI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That’s a BFP in my book!!!! I’m just bursting out of my skin for you. Can’t wait to hear the results of your BETA.
You’re gonna be a mommy, Cali!!!!!!!!!
WONDERFUL news!!! I am so excited I have a tear in my eye!!
Sending you LOTS of sticky wishes !!
