A Little Bit of Good News

I went back to work today. I was very tired by the end, but grateful to have a job and grateful for a little bit of good news. While I was in the ER early Friday morning, they checked my HCG levels to see where they were. HCG levels can indicate miscarriage, ectopic pregnancies, and whether the pregnancy is progressing. My level was 1500, and although it was not low, the doctor wanted to see it higher, to even see it double. Apparently I was supposed to wait till the full 48 hours (misunderstood that one) so that my number could truly double (Mike told me this after I had the test drawn, because in my defense, I was pretty snockered) so at about 29 hours, my number had pretty much doubled. It went from 1500 to 2940. I was pretty tickled!!! I am just glad that this little one is growing. I cannot wait for Wednesday. I cannot wait to map out a plan, and to see how this little one is developing. We get to meet with one of our favorite perinatologists Dr. S. He saw us through nearly every perinatology appointment with Ryker, and is very smart. Well, I had better get to bed. 

I have been exhausted and need some extra sleep!!!
