Still Looking Good

Beta #2 results are in and they are good. Today was 220. They seem to be happy with my doubling time and don't feel the need to do another blood test. They want to see me for my first OB scan next Wednesday at 9:45AM. I'm quite certain with the way my numbers went up we're dealing with a singleton pregnancy. Now we just need to make sure we have a good scan next week. I'm sure we won't see the heartbeat until the following week, but I ask to see a nice yolk sac and the part where the baby will develop.

My sleeping patterns are off. I'm getting up earlier and earlier in the morning to pee and then I'm having a hard time getting back to sleep. I'm having really vivid dreams and I'm waking in the middle of them to go to the bathroom, but it hasn't been the middle of the night wakeups yet. Yesterday was 5 AM and I didn't bother to go back to sleep. Just went and made some tea and cleaned out some personal emails. This morning was 4:30 AM. That is just too early to wake up and I need my sleep these days, so I tried to go back to sleep, but my brain was still racing from the dream. I finally started falling asleep at 5 AM, just in time for the alarm to go off and me to keep hitting the snooze button. I finally woke at 6 AM.

The Boys Are Here!!!

I'm trying to post this from the hospital Internet access, but I will be able to do this announcement better justice from home, but it is a very odd, but short birth story. They came so fast and furious there was nothing anyone could do. But the boys are in the NICU and doing well. They were born at 31 weeks 5 days gestation on 5/29/2009. I will post their names and information (no comments on names unless you like them, LOL): Baby A: Thomas Michael III born at 2:09 AM Weight - 3 lbs, 15 1/2 oz Length - 18 inches Baby B: Liam Jonathan born at 2:20 AM Weight - 4 lbs, 1.4 oz Length - 17 1/4 inches long Just a word on their health, Thomas's breathing is doing well and he did not need any help in that area so far. I had two steroid shots from when I was admitted until before they were born, so I think that helped. Liam was intubated and given surfactant when he arrived in the NICU and is now on CPAP, although he can't stand having the tubes in his nose. Both are under t...

IVF#2 - It Worked!!!!

OK all my Internet bloggy friends!!!! I'm pregnant with the best initial beta I've ever had!!! Could that mean multiples? We'll find out over the next week or two for sure. My initial beta was 660! I can't believe it! I'm so excited I want to cry. I was so nervous. I didn't want to test before I went there because of all the hcg boosts I had. And I was really starting to doubt if it would really work out or if I was going to have a major disappointment today. I go back on Thursday for a repeat beta and we'll see if we're doubling or better. Leo made a prediction last night of twins. I wonder if he's right. Of course we just want at least one healthy baby, but healthy boy/girl twins would be like winning the lottery. Of course we'll want to win the lottery to support them, but I'm like Scarlett O'Hara in that perspective - "I'll think about that tomorrow!"
