I went in this morning for my third and final Blood beta draw. Boy was today a busy day at the hospital. I arrived by 8:00 and there were already like 20 people ahead of me. I think I was there for over an hour.
I was spoiled last week with the beta results being returned fairly quick. 12:30 was the latest I had gotten them. Today, the clock past 1, then 2, then 3, then 4. I was starting to get worried because usually they only call later when they have bad news. Amy finally called around 4:45.
Beta level of 3306. This is a doubling time just over 44 hours. Once again, another awesome number. I was relieved.
So much for trying not to stress to much. 🙂
We scheduled our first ultrasound. We will get to see our little sprout on Monday, October 15 at 11am. I cannot wait. 11 more days!
I am pretty sure that there is just one in there, but nothing is for certain until the ultrasound. We should be able to see sprout’s heartbeat at the appointment.
I am still a little nervous knowing that a lot can happen in the next 7 weeks. We won’t be out of the woods until Sprout is born, but a few steps at a time.
Darrell is still apprehensive and isn’t quite as excited because he doesn’t want to get attached only to have something happen again. We haven’t even talked about nicknames yet. I have started calling baby Sprout. We shall see if it sticks for the pregnancy or not.
Our next milestone is the heartbeat. We will feel a little better knowing there is a heartbeat.
