4w, 3d
Making a pregnant chick get up at 5 am and get herself and two kids to the city for blood work is just plain evil. Haven't been sleeping that great. Mostly because I have to pee a lot but also because in the evenings, my belly is just uncomfortable. It feels weird to be on my side.
I was so tired by the time I got home, I fell asleep on the couch while the kids were in a tv coma. Never did that before. It was just long enough to make me functional until the kids' naptime.
My numbers are good! They were 400 on Wednesday and they were looking for them to double. Today they were 1100. So, more than doubled but not so much that it is freaking me out for no real reason. My first pregnancy u/s is scheduled for Tuesday. DH said he could either go with me or at least watch the kids since all my appointments have been early morning. Unfortunately, they schedule their pregnancy u/s differently. My appointment is at 2 and he won't be able to go or watch the kids. So, made up a lie to my mom about a dermatologist appointment and she is watching the kids. Although no official plans have been made, I am thinking we will probably be telling our parents soon as long as everything works out with the u/s. The nurse who called about the blood work results and to schedule the u/s said that this u/s is mainly to make sure that the pregnancy is in the uterus. Yeah, way to put a girl at ease. All I need right now is an ectopic pregnancy.
Understandably, I am completely dreading this u/s. That first u/s last time around was where I went from blissfully ignorant pregnant chick to all hell just broke out in my freakish anatomy. It is hard not to think that come Tuesday, any happiness I have about what is going on in my belly won't vanish in an instant.
