Hello my friends,
Just an update. I am pregnant 😀😀😀! I've known for two weeks now. I've had four HCG betas and the numbers are rising. The next step is a first ultrasound which is today. Ordinary pregnant people don't get them this early, but I am special.
Of course, I am nervous out of my skin about this ultrasound. The only other time any of my pregnancies has gotten to the ultrasound stage, we went in wanting to see the baby only to be devastated to learn that it was a blighted ovum (it took 3 ultrasounds and 3 weeks to finalize this diagnosis). Devastating. Of course, every pregnancy is a new event and my symptoms are stronger this time than ever. This pregnancy has already gone longer than two of mine, so we are hopeful.
Please pray for us. The appointment is at 1:30 Central Time, today. I really hope we get to leave with a beautiful picture of our tiny little miracle. In any case, we throw ourselves upon the mercy of God and his care.
