The exciting news is in!! There is at least one baby on board in this gorgeous uterus! :) We received the news from the bloodwork this morning. The hcg level needed to be above 50 in order to be considered a good positive, and the level was 157! Yay! So, our journey continues to the fun part now!
It has been a very difficult week for me because I can't wait for things. I'm very impatient when it comes to results, so I, of course, did some home pregnancy tests. I got a positive result on Monday. I told the guys, they were excited as well, but we all agreed that we wanted to wait for the blood test to make the news public. Now, I agreed that this was a good idea, BUT, my talent is carrying babies, NOT SECRETS!! So, everytime someone asked, When will you find out?, How do you feel?, etc., I wanted to say - "We're pregnant!!", but I had to keep it in. I told a few close friends because I would have exploded if not! LOL But, I also wanted the guys to be first to announce their news. After all, this is their news to share, and nobody likes a spotlight stealer. :) So, we all had to wait for Marc to get home from overseas today in order to share the great news!
I asked Marc if he wanted to do the blog today to share the results, but he's tired from his long flight.....Awwww, poor baby. :( That trip home from Paris must have been exhausting. I don't know what would be more tiring. Oh, wait! Yes, I do! Ummm, housing a baby or babies in your gorgeous uterus! But, we want to let Marc get his beauty rest, so I'm blogging tonight. ;) Michael, take good care of him and make sure he wakes up refreshed and feeling lovely. ;)
I will have another blood test on Monday, and then another on Wednesday. Don't get me started - you know how I feel about this! But, you've listened to me bitch and moan about the needles enough, so I will not bother you with more complaining on the matter. I do, however, think if a pee stick was good enough to let me know I was having 5 smart, beautiful, wonderful children of my own, it should be good enough for this adventure as well. But, we all know the nurse enjoys making me suffer. So, if you see me walking around town this week all pale and barely able to stand- it's the blood loss. I apologize now if I don't recognize you, but I'm sure I'll be a little lightheaded until I recover.
So, they are looking for the hcg level to double with each test, and they are monitoring the hormone levels from all of the daily shots and suppositories. Yep, I said suppositories, and yep, I said daily. Is it starting to stand out how much these guys owe me for all of this?!?!? LOL
The next big thing I'm curious to get to is the ultrasound that will happen here in a few weeks. We need to find out if there is one or if there are two little critters hanging out with me for the next 9 months. I'm rooting for one, but I know many of you are rooting for two, and I forgive you for that. I forgive you because I've rooted for twins when many of my friends have been pregnant, so I deserve it if it happens to me. :)
I am overwhelmingly happy for my friends. I'm so happy things are working so smoothly and hope they continue to go that way. How crazy is it that we've made it to this point!?!? Wow for science! I can picture how exciting delivery day is going to be and how amazing this is all going to turn out. <3
