Wow. God is good
May 6 I was totally expecting my cycle to begin.. Took a pregnancy test in case. As soon as the window was filled, my test immediately showed 2 lines ..... 2 very dark, matching lines.
Given my history, my doctor wanted to run some blood work to see my hcg level as well as my progesterone level. Hcg was were it should be... Progesterone results weren't back until Monday (May 9) but came back normal. It's amazing what prenatal vitamins can do!!!! My doctor wanted to do another round of blood work to make sure my hcg levels were increasing as they are supposed to. Lab results came back May 10 -- results are increasing as they should be. Doctor is reassured, I am relieved and happy.
More blood work May 12 to make sure hcg continues to rise. My new set of numbers brought a sigh of relief and peace. My numbers quadrupled!!!!!
Fast forward to today, June 6. We were (not so) patiently waiting for this appointment. Seeing a heart beat and hearing the midwife say things look good makes us feel so much better. The past year has been a roller coaster for us. My original plan was to already be a family of four..... God knew better and knew my three year daughter would require too much attention :)
We are happy, excited, and so thankful. Plus, I don't know how much longer I could hide my growing bump ;)
