We're officially PREGNANT!!!!

OMG, if I weren't pregnant I think I'd be doing cartwheels down the sidewalk. But after all we've been through, cartwheels are going to have to wait for about 9 months.

As the subject line says - we are OFFICIALLY PREGNANT!!! Oh God, that wait for the phone call with the results was intolerable, but at 2:22pm the nurse called to report that my first beta came in at a whopping 266!! That seems pretty darn healthy and pretty darn high for 11dp3dt and makes me think even more that there may be more than one in there. So as of today we are 4 weeks pregnant and our due date is July 14th 2011.

So, I go back for another draw on Monday to make sure the hcg level is rising appropriately. If you recall from August's beta process, the numbers should double ever 48-72 hours so that's what they'll be looking for.

If all looks good with the second beta, the next step will be the ultrasound on or around 11/18. Oh heaven help me, another 2ww! But that's when we'll be able to see how many are in there. We should be able to see the yolk sac and fetal pole and may possibly see heartbeats. I say possibly because at 6 weeks it's possible that the heart will not have started beating yet so that may not be seen until the second u/s - usually done about a week or so after the first u/s.

I know we've been officially pregnant 3 times before in the last 15 months, but I'm really feeling this one. I think this one is it!! And I think all the cheers, positive thoughts, and prayers from all of you have helped - so THANK YOU!!! Much, much more to come over these next few weeks so the excitement continues!!!
