My second blood draw

Deb Gromley (my doctor) said she wanted a second blood draw done at 48 hrs after my first lab was done.  She said they would fax the info to the hospital.  Tom and I arrived at the hospital at about 12:15 am, only to find out they could not find the order from my doctor. ARE YOU KIDDING ME????  Lucky for us, the hospital was willing to work with us and said they would draw the blood anyway and get the order mix up fixed in the morning.  Deb said it was important to have the blood draw at approximately the same time 48 hrs later so she could see how well my HCG was increasing.  She said it should at least be 66 by then. 

After the order mix up was finally resolved, Deb finally called again!  She said she had good news!!!! My HCG was already at 80! That sure put me in a good mood!

Deb also wanted to set up our 1st sono!!!!!!!!!  We are going on 12/2/2010 to have that done! Deb said we should see a "little Jelly Bean" and we should be able to hear the heart beating by then! I cannot imagine how exciting that is going to be! That day just cannot get her fast enough!

We know people don't usually announce they are pregnant the day they find out, but we were just so excited we could not keep the secret! I think we've told everyone by now! Heck, we should probably just post it in the newspaper just to be sure!! LOL!  We know there are a million things that could happen this early in the game, so we hope our friends and family will keep us in their prayers. 

So far, pregnancy has been kind to me. The only symptom I'm feeling is tiredness.  I swear I would sleep all day if I could!  I know this is just the start of this emotional ride, and I'm sure more symptoms will show themselves sooner or later.

We are pregnant!!!!!!!!!!

Well, on 11/16/2010, I had to go for a blood draw to see if I was pregnant or not. I went to the ER to have the blood draw done and was expecting the results to be the same as they have been for the 1 1/2 years....negative.  Much to my surprise it came back positive! WHAT?!?! Are you sure that was my blood?!?! I was so excited...and scared all at the same time! I called Tom up right away and gave him the good news! Maybe...just maybe it's our turn to be parents! Keep your fingers crossed!!!
