Beta #2

Another date with the blood sucker this morning. I was so nervous and scared that the numbers didn't double and we would have to get through the holidays with a fake smile on our faces.

First one in this morning - in and out in a matter of minutes. On my way into work I just kept thinking of the last time we received the results of Beta #2 - which really isn't a good idea to let your mind wander when you are traveling on the highway in the morning commute! Thankfully it wasn't too bad or I'm pretty sure I would have caused an accident by not really paying attention! oops.

Get my day started and then the call comes in. My heart begins to race a million miles a minute and I choose to not answer. I'm such a chicken shit when it comes to this whole process and getting the results! After watching the phone for a few minutes waiting for the 'voice mail' icon to appear, I can't help but think it's taking too long, she's leaving bad news. Bam there is the icon. I grabbed the phone and started to shake before I could hit play.

"Hi Kelly it's Nurse Lisa (never met this one!). I have your results from this morning and your levels went up to 363 which is a very nice rise from Monday. We want you to come back in on Friday for one more Beta and if all goes well we will schedule your first ultra sound."

I cannot believe it! Did she really just say my levels increased nicely to 363?????????? I immediately text the hubs (knowing he's in his morning meeting and can't answer his phone) then of course next on my list is my Mafia IVF'ers and then the girls on the forum. Since we aren't telling anyone yet, my second family gets to share in my excitement/news!

One more hurdle we've jumped over - still plenty more.....but today, I'm still preggers and will enjoy every minute of it!
