IT'S OFFICIAL!
I'M PREGNANT!!!!!
My doctor FINALLY called this afternoon...as I was in the bathroom (TMI alert) popping in my Vagi-pops (what I call the progesterone suppositories!) with the news. I carried my darned phone around all flipping day...waiting...and NOTHING. No...not until I am on the pot (well, hovering) and not in the best position to actually answer the phone. But, answer it I did...
She first apologized for calling so late (No Worries...I wasn't even thinking about it!) and said, "But I have good news."
"What's the good news?" I asked.
"You're pregnant!!!!"
Friends, as I sit and type, I still do NOT even believe it. I am just in shock!!! I asked what my HCG level was and she said 180 (0r 182..wasn't really paying attention!). I said, "Wow! That's a good number, right?
She told me they were looking for 90-100. Then she asked how many embryos were transferred. I told her "2" and she said, "Hmmm..." Then she said that she wouldn't put money on it, but maybe both had implanted....
I'D LOVE THAT!
So...I'm OVER THE MOON, but still cautiously optimistic. I LOVED the idea of the maternity shirt...but I live in a smaller place and wouldn't find anything. PLUS...I think I'll hold off on buying things until I need them...as we make it through the first trimester.
Friends---thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart...for all the love and prayers. I have never felt so loved and wrapped around and overwhelmed with goodness as today...and I can't thank you enough!
HOORAY! WELCOME HOME, RFBF...for the next few months, at least!!!
That is absolutely awesome and I am so happy for you. Party on Lori.... You are pregnant. Been checking your blog all day. Congratulations again.

ReplyDeleteCongrats Lori!!! Your prayer has been answered and you have been blessed! (Maybe double!) I am so very happy for you.

ReplyDeleteLori, I will continue to pray that all goes well, that you can carry to full term, that FFBF (one or both) are born healthy.
I couldn't be happier about your wonderful news. And if you won't go for the maternity shirt...how about at least going and buying a celebratory pint of pistachio ice cream and a jar of pickels, not to eat (Oh Lord no, that sounds SO GROSS), but to remind you every time you see them that this IS real!
Oh how I love seeing that ticker up at the top of the page!! Still can't get over it and am over the moon for you! ;)
ReplyDeleteI've not left a comment before, but following your journey has enriched my days... and so I must say... CONGRATS!!!! YEAH!!!
ReplyDeleteAll best to RFBF, may they grow and prosper!

ReplyDeleteI am so happy for you. I remember those days so well. Waiting for the call is so hard. Will you test again in 2 days to see the #'s go up. Mine jumped to over 900(I think that's right. It was almost 10 years ago) so I knew it was twins. I will keep you in my thoughts and continue following your blog. Congratulations!
