So on the 16th I went in to have another blood test to check my hcg levels, well they were 59 that Tuesday and 162 that Friday, which is good they are going up and up. The doctor said on an average they are suppose to double or even triple every 72 hours. So then the nurse told me that it was time to call an OBGYN and set up our first appointment. Ok so now this is becoming a little more real. See when we first found out it was a roller coaster of whether or not it was actually happening. I had been sick for a very long time and was also on birth control. I know all babies are miracles of course, but this one was a BIG one, especially given my state. So the Dr took me off all of my medication and suddenly I started to feel better than I have in months. Sometimes I think this baby was sent to us, so I could get better. :0) The Dr had told me that when you are pregnant although there are different types of aches and pains, the issues I was having would all go away. Such a relief I was so sick of being sick. Even though our pregnancy is still very early we are loving every minute of it. My husband still asks me though, is there really a baby in there, lol. He is definitely still in shock that it happened so fast.
Ok so on Wednesday I called and set up our first appointment it is the 19th of Feb with a Dr that came highly recommended. They told me that should be around 8 weeks and we would get to hear a heartbeat. It is crazy not knowing exactly how far along you are. Everyone I have ever known that was pregnant, never knew like 2 and a half weeks in. It is nerve racking just waiting and waiting. Well I guess I will just consider it a wonderful V-Day present.
Stay tuned….
