omg best news i've heard all day!!!
Oh yes!! Yes. Welcome home.
Oh Niobe --
Your blog and your delicate words often fill me with awe -- I often consider commenting but often are too shy. I couldn't not comment this time.
Congratulations.
am -- of course I meant 'am' -- see I'm speechless :)
Holy crap. The best thing I read, heard, or thought of all day. Pausing to take that breath I promised myself, and heading right back into the tank.
Welcome home.
Wonderful, wonderful news... Continuing to hope for 36 more weeks of positive.
Positive. Yes, positive.
AAAAAAA! There is nothing I wanted to hear more today than that. Congratulations! I'll continue to keep my fingers crossed!
HOLY SHIT!
HOLY SHIT!
HOLY SHIT!
Woohoo!! Great news!!
The game, as they say, is afoot.
Long may it lope — say, the next 90 years or so...?
Oh My -- I literally GASPED!
Holy Crap, Holy Shit, Holy Everything!
Welcome home.
Like Wordgirl, I too have read for a long time without feeling able to contribute...
but Congratulations and Gefeliciteerd and every wonderful word!!
Congratulations, Niobe.
What wonderful news to come home to!
I hope the good news continues for a long time to come.
wow. wow.
congratulations,
Gretchen
YEA! YEA! YEA!
Congratulations, Niobe. I am so thrilled for you.
What great news. I hope you are home safe and sound!
Hey hey hey!
Congratulations!
HURRAH!!!!!
Here is the way I think of it: without a positive test, there is no early pg, without early pg, there is no somewhat later pg, and so on... you know? It's the only way to get there. Necessary condition, if not sufficient. Here is to necessary conditions being satisfied, one by one.
**exhales**
Yes. And welcome home.
Man oh man, you just put a huge smile on my face. I'm an often reader and too infrequent a commenter -- but just had to say yay, this is such good news, and I am so glad.
OH MY GOD! Niobe, I have literally been checking over and over all day long. Holy shit, dude. I'm so freaking happy right now!
Oh, and welcome home!
Well crap. That is tremendous news. May the good times (continue indefinitely to) roll :)
Many Congratulations!
I am very, very delighted for you. :)
Congratulations! I'm so happy for you! I've recently began to read your blog. You are such an extraordinary and beautiful writer.

So far, so good. And that's very good to read.
When I saw your earlier post about coming home, but no other news I just assumed you were right...
I saw this post now and literally said, Sweet Jesus and Mary! Why? Who the hell knows, but damn! I'm so excited!
Whoa.... I am all sorts of things for you - happy/terrified/excited/apprehensive....
But, this is good, good news.

I have goose bumps! So very excited for you!
As strange as it may seem, I burst into tears of happiness for you before my brain could even register the words.

(See I told you those signs can be irrelevant...they were meaningless for me, chuckle.)
Okay, nosy detail woman here, what are the numbers? Next steps? Repeat beta? Ultrasound?
I clicked over to your blog (no, I don't do Reader) saw the tulip picture and clicked away thinking there was nothing new. But then, even as I did, I thought to myself- "Did I see the word 'positive' at the top?" Clicked back- and WOW!!!!!
You must be positively swirling with emotion- mixed and otherwise.
here's to hope, doubling beta's and 9+ healthy months!
what great news. everything crossed here for you.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
So the European "vacation" did the trick, huh? :-)
Oh, Niobe!!! Another delurker with happy tears in her eyes. I hope, I hope...
(Also giggling a little at what Elizabeth said)
woot!
a belated and joyful welcome home.
Wonderful!
Yay!
Tears of joy flowing for you here in Texas. YES!
Wowie! I chose the right day to get back on the blogs.

Hooray!!
That's fantastic! I hope you're allowing yourself to enjoy this incredible first step. I'm so unbelievably happy and hopeful for you.

YES!!! Yes!!!
I am trying not to shout out at work here.
Oh Niobe, you have me dancing around my kitchen laughing and crying at the same time. I am so so so happy to hear this news. So happy!
Here's to a smooth ride.
Oh I'm so happy to hear this. And in a funny way even happier after the lead up to this news. I am so glad to see that news can still swing round and bite us on the bum in a very nice way. I hope things continue to go well, crossing my fingers for you.
Congratulations and welcome home!
Here's to a positive 9 months plus many more!
Congrats!!
Just the great news I needed to see today to brighten my gloomy day. Hoping for nothing but the best.
:) :) :)
Congratulations Niobe. This will be shorter than I want it to be because I think blogger limits the word count in comments. I discovered your blog some time ago through a series of links from others' blogs. I have been enjoying your pictures and prose but only this weekend took the time to read your entire archives. You talk about how you struggle with writing but it does not seem so. From the reader's perspective, it is so effortless & beautiful. I find myself wanting to know so much more about you. I am too stupid to even figure out where you live or what you do. What are these past tragedies you speak of? Why do you belittle yourself so? Why is your family so cruel? When will your broken heart start to heal? How did one person get dealt such talent and such bad luck in the same hand? This probably sounds stalker-ish but it is really just my attempt to give you the reader/lurker's perspective. At various times you've seemed to show interest in who's lurking. I'm a mom, a professional, a 2x miscarriage survivor. Nothing even remotely remarkable, really, but that's me.
You are so incredibly gifted with words. I hope this new development in your life means the universe is about to deliver you with many more gifts.
Congratulations, again.

Let me the 113th commenter to shout - woo hoo! Simply wonderful.

Congratulations and I'm wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months!!! XOXO
Congratulations!
you said it all!! congratulations
WOOOT!
Delurking to say FABULOUS!!!!!!
Wohoo!!!
Wow. This put a big grin on my face. And now I'm holding my breath.
Congrats!
Delurking to say that I'm very happy for you.
Oh, that's WONDERFUL! And you're home, too!
Wow. Congrats! (Apologies for the delayed reaction -- P "redid" our home network this weekend, leaving me without internet until I got back to work, since, clearly, redoing went more wrong than right.)
Congratulations, this is wonderful news! Welcome Home!
If I believed in fate, good luck, and all that happily-ever-after stuff, I would say that you were meant to stay in Europe so that you could come home to this.
It really did work out smashingly perfect, didn't it?
Congratulations!!
congrats!
: ) congratulations!!
Congratulations.
:-) ... I will forever link you and this positive news to Paris!
Brilliant! Congratulations!
Sorry I"m a little slow catching up... but just wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS! I'm so thrilled and happy for you.. :)
Oh.My.Gosh!!!
I've been so behind on my blog reading - stupid work firewalls! - so I'm sorry my congrats are a bit delayed.
But, CONGRATS! This is wonderful news!
wonderful news - simply wonderful
Wow! That's wonderful news!!
oh wow, HURRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(don't worry, there's no need to believe any of it is real for now. i'm just going to congratulate you anyway)
HOOOOOOOOOOORRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations!
Congratulations.
