Beta #2

I got my second beta level back yesterday afternoon. It was 408! That’s perfectly in line with doubling every 2 days. I had actually started to get scared, though. The doc office had said to expect a call around 3pm because they close at 4pm. Well, by about 3:50 I was worried since I hadn’t heard anything. I became that crazy pregnant lady and called the office and left a message for the nurse to call me. By 4:15, I still hadn’t heard anything! My mind started to wander…am I that person they don’t want to call because it’s bad news? Is it lower than they wanted? Is it way higher? At this point I left work because I couldn’t concentrate. Then, as I was walking out to my car…my phone rang! It was only 4:20, but that hour and twenty minutes of waiting to hear that everything was okay took forever!

I am so thankful that everything is still going “as it should”. Before we started this round of fertility treatments, I didn’t know how I would handle it if they didn’t work. Now that they have worked, I really don’t know how I’ll handle it if anything goes wrong. I mean, I know that I’ll get through it just like I am continuing to get through it with Cooper…but please let everything continue “just as it should”. Please!
