Oh my goodness. This past week has been a tough one. I ended up getting acupuncture on Wednesday for my back and it helped so much! I am 98% better!!

Wednesday I also started having some cramps. I felt good about that because I’ve had them here and there since then. But, last time was kind of the same way so I didn’t want to get my hopes up.

The emotions have been all over the place. While I was in so much pain because of my back I couldn’t get to a positive place. It was really hard. I was weepy some days and felt like I could go off at the drop of a dime other days.

The anxiety was really getting to me too. Especially the last couple days. When I would sleep (or try too) I felt my heart racing. I am still on the prednisone, so it only seems bad the days I take those pills.

I stayed true and didn’t take an at home pregnancy test at all. Because if it came out negative, that’s where my mind would wander-to the dark side. I am proud of myself for not buying any to take!

I could barely sleep last night. And I think I made myself nauseous all day anticipating the results. My blood test was at 8:15am this morning. I drove down to Jay (he works an hour and 15 minutes south of our home) so he would be with me when I got the results call from the doctor. Either way, I wanted him to be with me for comfort. We had lunch and waited … and waited …. Finally, the doctor called and told me ……

The test results were excellent!!!! 😂🥰❤️🙏🤰🏼 I am pregnant! And the doctor told me he was expecting the hcg numbers to be around 100/150. They were 800 something. So it is highly likely both embryos implanted. Omg!! 👧👦

I have been waiting to hear those results for over 16 years! Today, was definitely the best news ever! I am so happy I was with Jay so we got to enjoy hearing it together! It really was life changing.

Of course it is still early. So we are very hopeful that all will go well and we will take really good care of me!

We know of all of your thoughts/prayers and positive vibes you sent to us, was an extreme help. We couldn’t have gotten through this experience any better without all of you! I know you all have been patiently waiting for these results just as we were. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! 😘❤️🥰🙏💕🤰🏼👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

So, this Wednesday I will take another blood test to make sure the numbers are still going up. And then next week we will do an ultrasound and verify one or two sacs! 🥰

If I forgot anything I’m going to blame it on pregnancy brain already! Lol

Love to you all!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
