My beta came back at 205. Anything over 110 would keep me in this and anything over 150 is great so I am great, or rather this pg is great. Mom was here helping me orginize the house today so she got to be here for the call. She is very excited about the whole thing. I called R and told him it was good news. He is happy too. I headed him off about "twins" and told him "there is no way to know untill the u/s, which is scedualled for the 12th. Two weeks is a long time to wait but somehow I will manage. I am not getting a 3rd beta, my nurse says it is because my numbers are great. Still would have been nice to get a third, but if I don't need it then that is beter than needing it.
Oh my boobs are sore now. Started last night and they have been sore all day. I don't notice them being bigger but at a DD they are huge already. I am also still nausios all day long. Right now it is particularly bad because I need to eat. So thats is it Iwill update again when I have more new or symptoms.
I have decided I will do weekly updates on Friday, which is when my week changes. I also am doing belly pics on Friday and will post them. Please be nice about my weight. I admit I need to lose it but for now it has to stay on for the baby.

Those who know
I am scared about tomorrow. I have enjoyed the weekend and am enjoying this pg but am scared of it ending. My beta needs to triple tomorrow and to make matters worse I may not get the results till Tuesday morning. I am relaxing to the best of my ability, so please don’t tell me to do that. If you want to send prayers, good thoughts, good karma, positive energy or just meditate on it then PLEASE do.
Acting like a pg woman is harder than I thought. No lunch meat? Really? But in all honesty I am loving it. A few people have asked me “Do you know how lucky you are?” To get pg on the first IUI is wonderful and I am the first to admit I feel damn lucky, but I don’t think R feels the same way. Example while I am slightly concerned about our beta and it doubling, R is sitting there worried about twins. While I thanked God last night in my prayers and keep looking at the blue sunny spring sky saying “thank you” in my head, he doesn’t. It isn’t that R isn’t happy, he is thrilled but to him IUI #1 working was a given. He “knew it would work” from the beginning and isn’t surprised in the least bit. His attitude makes me nervous, like God will look down on him and decide he isn’t grateful enough and take it away.
But I refuse to think that way for too long. This is God’s gift to us and I just have a mother’s instinct that this is it. My beta will double and this pg was meant to be. Please don’t take this to mean I am not scared I am but not as much as I thought I would be. Lower beta’s have gone on to be healthy pg and the fact that today the pee stick actually showed a line is a good sign.
R’s initial reaction was a little disappointing. I had him come home early because the thought of telling him in 3 hours was driving me nuts. When he arrived home I had written on my belly “BABY” and showed it to him. His first reaction was relief that I was okay and then he got really happy. I think there might have been a tear or too even. He has reached over many times to touch my belly during this weekend and talk to the baby. It is very cute.
I want to keep track of people who know so here is my list:
R,
Mom,
Shannon- Who BTW thought I was joking when I called to tell her the news. She seriously didn’t believe me, and then nearly castrated me for the drinking a last Thursday. Yes that is right I had ONE drink the night before my + beta, which is also the night AFTER my – POAS and for the record NO MORE DRINKING FOR ME!
The nest,
Blog readers
Corrie- a IF friend who is related to R but promised not to tell anyone.

I'm PREGNANT!
The most wonderful phone call of my life just happened and I can't tell a soul.
I recognized the phone number of my clinic on my cell and decided to go ahead and pick it up. After all I tested yesterday and it was negative, the whitiest pee stick EVER in fact. Not even a hint of a line the next day. (I know because if I look at the trash I can still see it)
When I pick up the phone and it isn't my nurse Sandra I am surprised, it is Dr Hinkely instead.
Me: Hi
Her: Hi...
Me: I already know it is negative you don't have to tell me.
Her: I don't call with bad news.
Me: Huh?
Her: Your pregnant.
me: no.
Her: Yes
Me (sinking in a little) really?
her: yes
Me ((((((Laughing hysterically)))))))
Her: But it isn't as high as I would like it.
ME: okay?((((thinking: please be above 50))))))
Her: It is 54.
Me: So we test again.
Her: Saundra will call you and set it all up. She should call you in an hour.
Me: ((grinning like a Cheshire cat)) okay but I am PG?!
Her: Yes go and tell the world. Your pg. I'll talk to you soon OKAY?
ME: okay.
And that is it.
Now R has been adamit that ONE he is the first to know. So that means no posting this till I tell him and TWO That he find out from me in person.
So I called and am hoping to convince him to come home early. Hopefully in time to tell the nest.

Wanna do me a Favor?
If you see me, here, on the board or IRL send me: Implantation dust or vibes. I am 4dpo and implantation should be happening anytime now. Thank you.
A little about Beta Day:
As many of you know Beta day is the 25th of this month. R and I have talked about all the kinds of ways we could get this news and how we want to share the (hopefully) great news. So we have decided that I will let the call go to voice mail and then together that night we will get the news. My cell has a speaker and we will use it to get this wonderful news.
However we ask that all of you NOT call, NOT email, NOT page me on thenest and let me tell you guys the news. Because, god forbid, it isn't good news we are going to need time to greive and I will want to be left alone. Does everyone understand? .............. Okay good!
