Relieved

I have good news to share again.  My doctor called yesterday and said that my levels had gone up to 69, which means they had more than tripled in two days.  For those of you who don't know much about HCG levels, the doctor likes to see doubling in that amount of time. As you can imagine, I am thrilled!  Obviously, it's still really early,  but I feel so much more optimistic about this pregnancy.  I'm choosing not to worry about it and to just enjoy it.  
 
The doctor told me I don't need to do any further blood work and that I can just plan on going in for an ultrasound on October 20. Hopefully that appointment will serve as more encouragement that this pregnancy is going well.  

I'm sure many of you are wondering if I will be having one or two or even three babies.  Based on my low HCG levels, I'm guessing that there will be only one baby.  If our ultrasound shows more than one baby, we will certainly be surprised! 

I probably will continue to update this blog on a semi-regular basis, if anyone is interested.  This may be the only time I'm pregnant and I want to remember everything.  Hopefully from now on, this blog will simply be the musings of a normal pregnant girl.:)
