Bloodwork

Everything came good.  They wanted my numbers to be at 4430 and they were actually 4459.  They did say something about possibly doing bloodwork once a week for a while (UGH!)  and for sure doing bloodwork on Wednesday and that as soon as my numbers are at 10,000 that we can do an ultrasound and hear the heartbeat.  I'm really excited about that!!!  I also have a prescription for progesteron that I have to continue until I'm 12 weeks.  It's still all a little surreal and I still forget sometimes that I'm actually pregnant!!  But Jeff never forgets and in fact he talks to my stomach every morning before he leaves for work and every night after we pray.  He is really excited, but really nervous!!  Thanks for the prayers and please keep them coming that everything remains on track and healthy!

GOOD NEWS!!!

WE ARE HAVING A BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   This new has been very very exciting, but I'm not going to lie, we have both been very nervous over the past couple of days.   Jeff is being overly protective.....which is actually really funny and sometimes it makes me want to scream but it ALWAYS makes me thankful that I have a spouse that loves me so much that he is excited and wants to be so involved in everything and making sure that I am taking care of myself and our little orange seed (we found out that's what size it is right now).  I called and scheduled an appointment with my doctor and they didn't say anything about doing a blood test or anything to make sure that my progesterone levels are high enough.  Given everything we've been through I wanted to make sure that it was all ok so I had to call and ask them to do it just to give me peace....but I don't know if that helped because then the nurse said "yeah we can do that because it will tell us if the pregnancy is actually progressing or if it's an ectopic or if somethings wrong"   SERIOUSLY?!?!?!?!  Like I'm not already freaking out about every little twinge and pain and now you give me something else to sit here and worry about until possibly Friday afternoon.   UGH!!!!  
Jeff and I have said from that this baby is a blessing and that God is in control of everything and that good or bad we will praise him!!  So all of this to say that we could really use prayers for peace over the next couple of days.  I don't want to be worrying, but it's natural and I know that I will.
