new numbers

Today's blood results...

My tsh is a little off so my levothyroxine dosage is going up. BLEH.
My progesterone dropped to 24, but they say there's no need to worry as it'll average itself out.
My HCG level skyrocketed to 3183.

If this morning (all day) sickness wasn't enough to tell me I'm pregnant that HCG number confirmed it for me. I'm so happy. I can't wait to see next weeks levels!

A Belle post!

Belle had her 15 month well visit yesterday and was a champ. She weighs 27lbs 14oz and is 32 inches tall. She's going to be taller than me when she grows up, I'm calling it now. She did well with the shots, cried (who am I kidding - screamed) until she was redressed and then happy for the rest of the day.

Bed/nap time lately involves going to sleep with at least 1 book. She reads until she falls asleep and then picks it back up when she wakes up. It's so cute to hear her over the monitor! She NEEDS her 3 blankets when she sleeps (receiving, fleece and afghan), but loves to play with them while she's awake too. Weaning her off the heavy blankets was so tough last summer, that I'm nervous about doing it again.

She loves the cat and the dog. She gets so excited every.single.time she sees them and starts yelling "kitty" and "doggy" and runs up to them and hugs them.

She's so cute!

by the numbers

I had a blood test yesterday.

I'm pregnant.

My hcg was 80 and progesterone was 32. The numbers look great. I go back next Friday for another draw, and another the Friday after that. The first ultrasound is on the ninth.

I am so happy, so nervous, and so, so thankful.

POSITIVE PEE STICKS

Are in my house.
After 2 days of stark negatives.
holy chiz on a biscuit.

Seems like there really is a babe-to-be growing in there that will arrive in mid-late November.

I feel guilty though.
There are women who've tried longer and harder and haven't been as lucky.
I wish I could go through this with them.

eek

Triggered yesterday morning. DH gave me the shot and I think he was a little to excited to do it. He's been hopeful that I'll get annoyed with nurses/techs giving me shots and taking blood draws and I'll ask that he'd be allowed to do it. I could see that he was happy to help and that made my day yesterday.

All-in-all, yesterday wasn't great. I fell down the stairs (again) carrying Belle. Pooped another couple stitches in my mouth (seriously though, how many stitches did they put in there?!). Got the news about my grandfather. It is what we thought, BUT he's "thinking" about what he's going to do. That's a huge step from "plant me in the ground".

here's to hoping :)

trigger time

I'm holding off until tomorrow though in hopes of better timing everything.

I iz askerred.

here's hoping!

cd25 b/w & u/s

YAY!! I HAVE A DOMINANT FOLLIE!!! It's measuring 21mm and there are a million little non-dominant ones that probably won't catch up before I trigger. Estridol level was at 292, and LH was 9.5, more b/w tomorrow to determine the best time for trigger.

Other news...
We got a cat on Sunday. Her (new) name is Kitty. Belle named her. We got her from the animal shelter and she's been a great addition to our little family.
