Great News Today

I got my results back this morning at like 9:45 (thank the Lord I didn't have to sit and wait all day) for my HCG and it went up to 1,740!! I was soo excited and happy that I had to ask her to repeat it. It seems like a big jump from 262 on Monday but she said it was good and always better high than low. It still seems a little surreal to me that all this is finally coming together and so far nothing has gone wrong.

I know I am so undeserving of all of this but thanks to my mom and dad for teaching me at such a young age about Jesus and his love and mercy! I don't know how people can not believe when miracles like this happen. My faith has definitely brought me through this whole process. "Those who know your name trust in you, O Lord, do not abandon those who search for you." Psalm 9:10

So, I am five weeks today and I haven't told everyone (I have told some just not everyone) at my work that I am pregnant yet. Not really because I am afraid of miscarrying and everyone knowing but more so because some of the people at my work like to come over and let you in on their horror stories and everyone that they know of. I want to avoid that for as long as possible! I don't really understand people that want to tell your their horror stories. It's like hello, is having to experience infertility and go through IVF not horror enough that I have to hear about all your miscarriage stories and worry about that too! Ok, I feel better now just wanted to get that off my chest.

Ten more days until our first ultrasound, I can't wait! Brad and my mom are both coming with me to hear the heartbeat and see how many babies, so I am also pretty excited about that. I have had enough appointments sitting by myself, waiting and waiting for them to call my name. I told Brad it doesn't matter what time I get there I swear every pregnant girl is called before me no matter what time my appointment is. Yeah, now I get to be one of the pregnant girls!!
