Still good news.

I had my second beta yesterday and it was 1,128.  That is great.  It should double every other day so it definitely did that.  As a note, with Blakely on this same day, my beta was 311.  

This is actually happening, people.  I can't even believe it.  I am still just floating around reminding myself every few minutes that I am pregnant.  Craziness really.  

I waited all day for the phone call with the result yesterday.  Well they of course called right as I was taking B into dance class.  I scooted her inside to her teacher and then stepped outside to talk to my nurse.  

Side note...one of the greatest things about this clinic is you are assigned ONE NURSE that you deal with the entire time.  Sure she is off one day a week so I have spoken to another nurse on occasion (like twice).  And last Sunday when I found out I was pregnant she was not working so she wasn't the one who told me the good news.  I love this girl.  I've been dealing with her since March.  She is so sweet and knows her shit.  I've asked her stupid questions and she never acts like I am over stressing or over thinking things.  She is just great.  It really makes the patient feel comfortable when you are speaking to one person each time about your care.  She remembers everything about me and I don't have to constantly be saying the same things over and over to different nurses each time.  So, I was happy to get to talk to her yesterday.  Moving on...

First thing she said was everything looked great and she was happy for me.  She told me the number and I said, "girl that is high, right?".  She giggled and said yes.  She did say, again, that they do sometimes see this high of a number with singleton pregnancies.  So we will just have to wait and see.  Then she gave me all of my instructions for the next few weeks.  

I go back weekly for labs, every Wednesday (because that is the day she is for sure in the office.  See?  Awesome).  Then I will have an ultrasound at 6 1/2 and 8 1/2 weeks (that is in 2 weeks and then in 4 weeks).  If everything looks good at the second ultrasound then they will start weaning me off my meds.  I continue everything I am on right now until then.  I put on 4 estrogen patches every other day, baby aspirin every night, progesterone in oil injection every other morning and then vaginal progesterone 3 times a day (real fun I tell you).

At one point I interrupted her and told her that this was all so crazy.  It was just so weird to be talking to her and her telling me that I was 4 weeks and 2 days pregnant so then I needed the ultrasound when I was 6 weeks, etc.  Like, I am pregnant.  Totally pregnant.  Mind=blown.  

I also told her there was no way I could wait until 6 and a half weeks to look in there.  She laughed.  I already have my friend ready to go with an ultrasound next week.  With Blakely, we could see a gestational sac and a yolk sac at 5 weeks 2 days...then a heartbeat at 6 weeks.  Next Tuesday will be 5w2d so I am thinking sometime next week we will check it out.  CAN'T WAIT.  

Oh.  And I want to document my symptoms so far.  Peeing a lot.  Very thirsty.  TIRED.  I am really tired.  But I have been all summer it seems with all the medication.  I am having the carpets cleaned today and I am having a difficult time keeping my eyes open while they are here.

Thank you all for your well wishes and congratulations!  Y'all are awesome and I don't know how I got so lucky to have such great friends!  I can not wait to tell this sweet girl she is going to be a big sister...
