Today I am pregnant.
I have a million posts floating around in my head, so you can expect a lot of reading coming up. ;)
I spoke to my clinic today about my beta results. The first thing the receptionist said was, "Have you seen your results?" I told her I had, but I didn't know if they were great, and she went on to assure me that they were fantastic because they had quadrupled. According to a beta doubling calculator, that is 24.4 hours doubling time. Because I had "done so well," she told me they don't need to see any more beta numbers. They don't even need to schedule me for an early ultrasound. Since the clinic is closed for 2 weeks over Easter, I am booked for an ultrasound on April 10th. I will be about 8 weeks by then! It's a long time away, and I'm sure I'll have moments of freaking out between now and then, but everything else has gone so well. I have faith that we will go in on April 10th and see a healthy heartbeat and a growing baby.
I have so much else to say, but it's all swirling around in my head right now. DH was so happy when I told him the news. I called him since I was at work, but I could hear his tears on the other end. Tonight we are going to celebrate... and relax.
I'll fill you in on symptoms, and other stuff over the weekend, so stay tuned!
yay! congratulations Slynn! what awesome news! super hopeful!

ReplyDeleteYes, you ARE! So very elated for you. There is so much good stuff to come! I know the wait will be hard but try to enjoy it as much as possible. You will need chocolate almond milk, and nilla wafers, saltines, and macaroni and cheese. GO!
ReplyDeleteGreat news! Congrats! I didn't have an early ultrasound on our successful cycle, and the wait to see a heartbeat was torture! Hang in there these next few weeks.
