Believe it or not, we did it!

Well, despite all of my doubts, I had my blood work done today and the beta was positive - I'm pregnant! I can't believe it!! I'm so excited and at the same time cautious. I've got to go for repeat blood work in 48 hours which would be Thursday morning to make sure my levels are increasing appropriately.

Chris and I were on our way out to dinner with his brother, sister-in-law and some others when the doctor's office finally called with the results. They were in a meeting and couldn't get back to me till 5:45 or so. Luckily, I have our phones set to call my cell phone as well as the home phone so I got took the call as Chris drove. I was shocked when the nurse told me the beta was positive and gave Chris the thumbs up even though he had no idea what it was for - up until yesterday, I was positive that I wasn't pregnant. She said my beta was 151 (low but it's very early) and progesterone was 33 - both very good! I'm headed to fertility friend right now to record my numbers and compare them to my last pregnancy! (probably shouldn't compare the two but can't help it!) Anyway, by now I'm sure I'm just rambling on but I really am excited! (did I mention that yet?)

Let's pray this one sticks!

Daylight Savings Time Strikes Again!!

Well... this morning I didn't get out of bed until 9:00 which is WAY late for me! I felt pretty much behind the whole day but I've managed to get most of my routines completed. Plus, Chris is out for darts this evening so I've got the house to myself. Man, do I LOVE Mondays sometimes!!

We had a BEAUTIFUL day here (I think the high was 53!) that made me very anxious for spring!! Winston and I went for a nice walk and he's sleeping at my feet under the desk as I type! Sleeping puppy is my favorite puppy!!

On Saturday, I went to a Holistic Healing Benefit at the Goggleworks in Reading. I got myself a beautiful stand of carnelian, a large blue and purple fluorite and a small garnet in some other type of rock from Alaska! I also had a channeled reading that was definitely not what I expected but completely amazing!

I took an HPT this morning because I'm on CD31 and haven't seen AF yet. I had some spotting Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday of last week which I assumed was the start of AF but she's not here yet. I assumed that the progesterone that I'm taking was keeping her at bay but figured I'd take a test anyway. I don't really know why since I'm going in for blood work tomorrow but anyway... after waiting the five minutes, there was a VERY faint positive - I mean, like, I could have just been looking at the strip too hard - that's how faint it was. I'm not getting my hopes up because our timing wasn't very good this month but I suppose it is still possible. Geuss I'd better wait for the blood test tomorrow so I don't go getting myself all in a tizzy!!!

I'm looking forward to doing some scrapbooking this evening. Heroes isn't on tonight (I am SO BUMMED ABOUT THAT) so I don't need to actually *watch* what is on TV tonight - I can just listen to it while scrapping. I worked on my afghan yesterday and got all of the panels crocheted together and started the boarder. I'm really getting excited about finishing it!

Oh well... I supposed I should get to the basement to put up the accent lights that I bought and then it's onto scrapping!
Have a beautiful evening!
