I had another ultrasound and bloodwork today. The doctor did the ultrasound this morning and he did find a fetal pole, which is good news. My HcG today was 1851, which is not so good. I'd really feel better if these numbers were doubling or more. They want to see me again on Friday for another ultrasound and bloodwork. By then I will be 7 weeks pregnant. We should see the heartbeat by then, if this is viable. On one hand, my doctor is very good, giving this a chance to see if it will proceed to a healthy pregnancy. I on the other hand, am jaded, as I've had two losses in the first trimester and both those losses had some early indicators of issues. Things with Phoebe were right on target.
Phoebe was sick over the weekend. She had a fever of 103 on Saturday night, so we took her home from her grandparents. She was supposed to stay there all week. Sunday, we loaded her with fluids and made my famous chicken soup. I think I have perfected that recipe as everyone in the house loves my chicken soup. I'll need to post that recipe soon. She had a fever still on Sunday morning, but in the afternoon when the motrin had worn off, she was fine. Eventually she did hit 101 in the early evening, but this morning she woke up fine and has been fine all day. She'll be going back to the in-laws either tonite or tomorrow. Not sure which. I stayed home with her all day (other than my doctor appt that she needed to come with me) as Leo was in New York City for work.

Unfortunately, I will be out of town by Friday and will be gone for over a week. I don't know what computer access I will have - at best I can check email. I would love it if you would email me and let me know how you are doing! bigpandme@yahoo.com
I can't wait to see your chicken soup recipe. With all you're going through, I can't believe you would be thinking of us hungries out here. ;)
Hugs and happy thoughts...I really hope for good things on Friday.
((((hugs))))
Good luck and I'll be thinking about you.
Praying you get great news on Friday!
