Yesterday I had my blood test to check the hcg levels to make sure they are still rising.

I have been so nervous. I can’t believe it. I thought once I had a positive pregnancy test I would be just overjoyed until we had our baby/babies. Which of course I am overjoyed, just so nervous. After the second blood test I felt better. But then the embryos heart is supposed to start beating on day 35, I’m on day 41 now. And I was like crap, is that going to happen?!?! Not sure why I am so nervous. I guess it’s normal.

Anyway, yesterday the nurse didn’t call me until like 2:45 in the afternoon with the results. They usually call me around 1. Last week it may have been before noon I think. I was so nervous all day. The results were SO good! Close to 23,000!!! Such great news, again I/we were overjoyed.

I started sharing the news with Jay of course, and my family and I was at work so those closest to me at work. 😍 I finally felt like this is happening and it is so good! What a relief.

That didn’t last very long. Within 15 minutes after the call I went to the bathroom and noticed I had started spotting, it was brown, not red. Ok, I said to myself, this must be normal. And then I started having some cramping (felt like near the ovaries). So I contacted the doctors office. The nurse said the dr was in surgery but he would call me when he was done. He called me around 4:30. He said this is a very normal call, but to be careful. He sent me home and told me not to work for a few days. To rest and drink plenty of fluids. He was going to check my hormone levels to make sure they were ok and get back to me. He gave me his cell number and told me if I had any issues to call or text him ASAP. So of course I went home and rested. Still spotting slightly today. Minimal cramps.

The dr called me back today to check on me and let me know that my hormone levels were perfect. To keep resting and not to worry.

I am taking advantage of the resting while I can. I/we want everything to go as healthy as possible.

Next Wednesday is our first ultrasound. We are so excited and cannot wait to see those little blips on the screen! And if we are lucky we will hear the heartbeat/s. 🤞🥰

Until then…… keep those prayers, well wishes, good karma or whatever and however you can!! We will take it all!! Thank you Thank you Thank you!!! 🥰😘😍😊❤️🤞🙏💕🤰🏼👏🏻
