18dp5dt...Beta #3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Um. 12,555. k. They were hoping at least 5,000. Lol hard.

So, I'm about to pee in my pants right now. Is my body really capable of this? I never got above 4,000 with our last pregnancy. Am I dreaming? God is so good!!! Our due date is March 22!!!

Here is my chart...I am 23 dpo today. They want at least a 60% increase every 2 days. Our little rockstar(s) increased 160% every 2 days. Grow Boom Boom & Pow. GROW!



 They are making me wait until 8/3 for my first ultrasound. I will be 7w0d. My doctor also classified me as "high risk" from previous loss and the possibility that we may have twins this time around. He gave me disability paperwork to put me on light duty through the first trimester so that I won't be overstressed and jeopardize this pregnancy. No standing on my feet for >50% of the day, bending, lifting, pushing, pulling, and must get a frickin' lunch break every day. Because they decided to short us on nurses, I have been one of three nurses doing treatments and have barely had time to sit down this week...so I guess they better come up with a way to get us more help. This belly is the sum of 6+ years of torture along with mine and my parent's life savings, so it is my priority right now! Nuff said!

We're so excited that we don't know what to do with ourselves! Please keep the prayers coming!
