hmmmmm
I am just in awe about this pregnancy stuff............... I have been feeling so much stretching and pulling and cramping its crazy.
I guess I knew that would happen as everything starts making room for baby but I just had no idea it would start so soon... Not that I am complaining :) It kind of makes me feel good, like something is going on in there, I suppose like a confirmation or something........ I like little signs it is helping me get through till my next blood test... oh boy then it will be the wait for my first ultrasound :) That will be an exciting day!!!

Beta #2
Well I am back from my bloodwork apt this morning... just waiting until we get the call with the updates. We are looking for our last number to double so hopefully today will bring us somewhere between 1400-2000.
The girls at my Dr's office were all congratulating me... It still just sounds funny when someone says I am pregnant hahaha I am sure that will eventually sounds normal :)

Beta # is in!!!
Well I am sorry to leave anyone in suspense but I have been busy celebrating all day :)
The Beta is in at 689!!!!!!!!!!! This is a super great number, I was hoping for 100 lol!!! I guess I got that and some :)
My nurses all seem to think for the amount of days past my procedure and my number today that we are having twins :) :) :) Of course numbers are flexible and there still is a chance that there will just be one very healthy baby but the nurses were pretty certain.
Pat and I are just ecstatic. I just cant wait till we are together and can finally celebrate with each other.
Next Monday and then on Thursday we will have follow-up betas to be sure the number is doubling (that shows it is progressing nicely) then the following week we will have our first ultrasound to hear there sweet little heartbeats and to confirm how many :)
Cant wait!!! I am sooooo thankful!

Tomorrow is the big day!!!
Yes that means I convinced the nurses move me up a day :) I am soooooo looking forward to the big confirmation from them..... In my heart I know I am pregnant.... there is just something to be said about having someone else tell you that indeed you are pregnant.
I should be embarrassed about taking daily home pregnancy test.. but I am not :) They are undeniable now, today the test line was darker then the control line. When I bought a box the other day I had a little old lady at the cash register and when she rang them up I told her "I already know those are positive but I just want to see the lines one more time... its been a long road".
I went to a food study/focus group the other day and there was a lady in the group 5 months pregnant and we were talking and I told her I had just found out I am pregnant too... and it just sounds funny... maybe after tomorrow it will start to sink in... or maybe it wont until after my first ultrasound but I am just so happy.
I can tell you this... we may have one very healthy little baby but I think I am leaning towards two....I have already been waking up each morning with a slight case of nausea, have been utterly exhausted mid-day for the last few days and my stomach is honestly already a bit bigger and firmer.. although this is my first time and I have nothing to compare it too :) Nevertheless I will be thrilled no matter what we have!!!!
Will update you with my Beta # tomorrow!

Still Sinking In :)
I was sooooo excited all day yesterday. I just still cant believe that we are finally pregnant. I think it didn't really sink in for Pat until last night, he called and said "hi my little baby momma" :)
The other night I met up with two friends at a restaurant, they were both having margarita's. So when the waitress stopped by to ask what she could get for me, before I answered my friend said "She's pregnant no margarita's for her" and I laughed. It sounded so funny to me, I guess because I have never been and was still so uncertain that it worked... and now two days later I really am PREGNANT yippeee!!!!!
Yesterday I picked up two pregnancy test that my sister-in-law Kristin was holding hostage (so I didn't test early.... see how well that turned out hahaha). So this morning I took another one ( a different brand) and it is positive too :) Even a bit darker then yesterday which makes me super happy as it means the pregnancy is getting stronger and I am making more hormones.
I am just so thankful we have gotten this far. Of course we still have lots of milestones to cross before I get to hold me baby (babies?) but I am looking forward to each one.
