Rinse and Repeat

New Nurse: Congratulations you're pregnant!
Jaded Patient (me): Really? Well that would explain why I feel so sick. What's the beta?
NN: The beta is 79.
JP: Oh.
NN: Let's make appointments now for another blood test next week and the week after that and then the 7 week ultrasound.
JP: Hahhahahhahaha. Oh, you're serious.... Um, ok sure, why not?

Not quite the number I was after, though eerily close to DH's dream of being told it was 78.

I really don't know what to think or say at this point. I want to be excited but we've been here before. I can't believe we have to wait until next Tuesday for another beta. I'll be gaga before then.

Thanks for all your kind comments on my last post. Looks like I'm getting one last chance...

79 is great! What kind of crazy mad men make a woman wait a week for a second Beta? Sadists!

Ooooooo - push for another beta tomorrow. Are you peeing on sticks? And tell us about 'feeling sick'. FINGERS CROSSED.

Well. Gosh darn, Louise.

My first beta was 66. Even the nurse was not hopeful about it. That 66-beta is now asleep in the other room, farting away.

I don't want to get all hypo on giddy on you, but I AM excited. Truly, ruly.

SHIT.

XOXOXOXXOOXOXOXOX
