Sorry, I have been so absent. I don't think I have to tell you all how crazy working at a church is this time of year.
I have been wanting to come on over here and update you, but life keeps getting in the way. I am very sorry.
So.... now for the news:
That's right! I am pregnant!



<<< there are not enough of these little guys in the world to explain to you all how I am feeling. Of course, it is mixed in with a little

.
I am due on August 10, 2010.
I went for my bloodwork last Tuesday. When the nurse called to tell me about the positive result, I was in complete shock. I really had no idea. I was expecting her to say sorry and I was going to email my friend that works for DSS to start the adoption process. I had the email already typed out and all I had to do was hit 'send'...
So on Tuesday, they told me that I needed to go back for bloodwork on Thursday (12/3) to make sure my HCG levels doubled. They need to double every 48 hours. That was a nervewracking two days... but THEY DOUBLED!
Now I wait and go back for more bloodwork this Thursday. If the levels are where they should be, they will schedule an U/S for Christmas week! That will be the first time I get to see my ball of cells!


Of course, with my already having an Early Pregnancy Loss under my belt - I am absolutely terrified, I am always on the hunt for the slightest trace of blood and there are times when I actually tiptoe through the house... Strange, I now... but rational thinking is probably never going to be a part of my process again.
So... thats the update. Will let you know how the bloodwork goes this Thursday!
