Beta

Sooo, I had my betas this past week, which was 100000% nerve wrecking, but I survived (just barely). My first beta was on Monday at 13dpo and I got a 48.9. Looking back to what I had with Eli, it was nowhere in comparsion. So I kinda freaked for a bit, calmed myself down, freaked some more, then finally 48 (well 42 really) hours later and I did my 2nd beta and it was 107. So thank goddess it doubled. Now this fertility clinic is different from my old one which required 3 betas, then an ultrasound the next week.. This one is just 2 betas, and I don't get an ultrasound until week 7. So I have 2 more weeks to wait until I see a picture of my baby. But honestly I have been paying for everything out of my pocket up to this point I may just ask to see if I can get one upon request..

So I am 5weeks,0days preggers now. Symptoms included burping, tiredness, cravings, and def. nesting. I am doing a ton more cleaning, nesting then I was before. I really like being pregnant. It's a nice feeling. Everything I do and buy for Eli, I now go "well this will be for two!"- it of course justifies my spending, but whateva :)

So thats the latest for now. Will have an ultrasound g-d willing in 2 weeks..

:D

3rd IUI

Well it's been a while since I've updated. I was feeling a bit overwhelmed emotionally in the process so I need some non-retrospective moments. But, I had my 3rd UI. I finally got those smiley face things on the OPKs. I hadn't ever seen them (I don't think), because usually the OPK doesn't work for me. But I was ovulating!!

So I call them frantically the next morning to see if I can have an IUI the next morning, and it just happened to be Easter and they told me they couldn't do it, so I had to wait till Monday. And so then I went on Monday and had my IUI. They told me it was good timing... and I believed them (not really!). But of course they were right.. I took an HPT last night and this morning and apparently I'm pregnant :) :) :) :) :) :)

Of course I still have to do all the betas and make sure I have a sticky baby... But g-d willing, ya know? What will be will be and I will do my best :) I had very little PG symptoms this time other than a stuffy nose, a bit of a hurt stomach and some moodiness, but other than that its been okay so far :)

So again journal readers you are the first to know- if you know me in real life DO NOT POST THIS ON FACEBOOK :)

Yay!!!
