The Data Speaks for Itself

I am a data girl. I like to look at the facts and determine what my odds are. As you can see from the table below, my hcg levels not only exceed the average levels for a single baby but also exceed the average numbers for twins! I cannot believe I am finally getting some stolid good news. This either means we have two babies in there or one kick-ass, super baby......I'll happily take either.

I don't know how I forgot to mention the significance of  the ultrasound I had a couple or days ago, but I did. The day I went in to see Dr. S was exactly one year to the day that we went into see him and found out we lost our first baby. I was kind of hesitant to go in on the 1 year anniversary of such a traumatic event in my life but did it anyway. Luckily this time we didn't get awful news which I am so relieved about. I just hope things continue on such a good path.

 

It's hard to allow myself to let my guard down and actually enjoy the small victories, this is something I really need to work on or else this is going to be a very long nine months. Each time I get a piece of good news I immediately move my worry on to the next milestone I need to conquer. I think its understandable to feel the way I do after going through what I have been through but I need to try to enjoy what I have when I have it. Rather than be miserable the entire time. Like I mentioned before, if I continue this is will be an extremely long nine months.

 

I'll be sure to work on that.

Symptoms: I still don't have much in the way of symptoms but here is what I have noticed so far, real or imaginary: slightly sore boobs/nipples (firmer as well), wonkie feeling when I stand up (see spots) sometimes, really thirsty, super tired.
