Today was my first beta. 160. Which was just about where I thought it would be if my first faint line was last thursday. Yay! So I feel relieved. The first hurdle. Still doesn’t feel real though. I can’t seem to stop worrying! I may as well just resign myself that I will worry until a baby is birthed. I was sooo worried the beta would come back low that I barely slept. Now I worry about the next beta in ten days (the 15th)- that it won’t increase like it should. After that comes the first ultrasound. Ironically we went to see ‘knocked up’ today, right before getting the beta results verifying that we too are knocked up (and the movie is totally hilarious). S told her parents already, I haven’t. Boy howdy was I mad when I found out she told them already. We had agreed to wait a little while, to enjoy it ourselves, to make sure the first ultrasound went okay. One thing about my girl though, she can’t keep a secret for sh*t! Hey, at least I know if she’s ever trying to hide something from me!
News from the rest of my life? I’ve been a bit preoccupied obviously. Let’s see, we had friends from our hometown come up last weekend, and tomorrow S’s dad will be here to help us install a ceiling fan. We have a family of mice in our garage that shredded a bag full of stuffed animals to make the worlds largest rodent nest. That’s about it. Mostly? Freaking out. Did I mention? This could be it!! Stick baby bean, stick!!
