6w, 5d

Had my first appointment today. There is only one baby in there. I was also shocked to be measuring right on schedule...well almost. I should be 7 weeks exactly based on my menstrual cycle. The flicker of the little heartbeat was there, but no excitement from me. I don't know if I can get excited for any pregnancy. Doctor S wants to see me in a couple of weeks to make sure every thing is still going well. Come on baby, stick for mama!

Beta #2 is in....

...and my progesterone is at 23.3, and my HCG is at 566!! My lord, they more than doubled. I have never seen my doc use exclamation marks to explain my levels, but she did. Dr. S said they looked great! I am so happy and relieved. God has answered my prayers. This pregnancy has taught me to let go, and let God. Let go of all of my worries, bitterness and doubt, and to trust God. He will not give me more than I can bear. He has also taught me patience. I did this last blood draw Thursday morning, and I am just getting the results today. I was so anxious to get the results at first, until I realized that things do not happen when I want them to. Things will happen on God's time. My first appointment and ultrasound is on the 30th.

Beta #1 is in...

Well, my results finally came in. My HCG was a 71, which is higher than the last pregnancy. The last pregnancy it was a 55. Dr. says my progesterone looks good at 26.6. The last pregnancy it was 30.6. I go back on Thursday for the next draw. Fingers crossed that my HCG doubles! Stick baby stick!!

Can Third Time be the Charm?

Well, I took a test last night due to the nausea and extreme bloat I have been feeling the entire weekend and this is what I got. I am truly scared out of my mind. All my tests for RPL have come back normal, and I just don't know why I keep miscarrying at 10 weeks. Were the last to losses just flukes? It is hard to accept that as an answer at times. I called the high risk ob, but they won't see me until I am at least seven weeks, plus they are completely booked for March. I also left a message for my regular ob to see if she wants to run betas. Now I just wait. I truly hope this will be B and I's sticky baby!

E is going to Columbia!

I am so excited! My little brother called me last night to tell me he got into the college of his choice. Words cannot express how I feel right now. With a 14 year difference between us, I feel a little like his mom. I helped raise him, and chastise him when he did wrong. I was there to help him and answer all his questions about the process of applying for colleges. :sniff: My little boy is all grown up.
