Beta #2

Hey everyone!  I went in for my second beta today.  She said she wanted my first number (250) to double so I was hoping for anything over 500.  I walked in to a completely full waiting room and this new receptionist asked me what I was there for today.  I quietly said "second pregnancy test" and turned around and saw about 20 pairs of eyes shooting daggers at me!! I was on that side of the road such a very short time ago.. I blogged about it less than 2 months ago! So I sheepishly walked to my seat and muttered an "I know.. sorry.." and silently cussed the receptionist for THAT little stunt!!

So then they called my name and said "hey!! you're back!!" and we all did a little happy dance before they drew my blood :-)  Then I talked to my nurse because if Monday's beta comes back high, we will schedule an ultrasound 2 weeks after.  Well, the problem with that is that it is the very first week of school.. and my GES friends know the craziness that will surround that week with a new principal, new assistant principal, a bunch of new staff, and new little firsties who have no idea what bus they ride, what their car rider number is, or where they live.  So I told her getting to Nashville anytime during that week will take an act of congress, and I asked her if we could possibly do it on a Saturday or figure something out because I would hate to have to wait for an entire extra week for an ultrasound!  And because they love me (or because I am a frequent flyer who has surely paid for at least 2 staff members cars) she said I could come in a little earlier than they like, on July 30th.  So I was excited about that!

My HCG level today was 681.. so it definitely doubled!  I will go back on Monday for one more beta test and then schedule our ultrasound for July 30th!

Side note:: today is my mom's birthday!  I sent her a text and said "happy birthday mom/meme!" she cried. best present ever!!
