Well well well

Today L had another blood draw and her hC.G is now 1176!!!  We are super excited and so relieved.  We had a great weekend and worked really hard on trusting that her body is doing what it needs to do.  When we just focused on her symptoms and not the numbers it seemed obvious that things were progressing fine, but having the numerical confirmation is nice too.  We don’t have to go back until Oct 1, when we will have our first ultra.sound.  I can’t believe it.

So, a quick list of L’s symptoms:

• Mind-numblingly tired – She slept ALL weekend and is currently taking a nap in her office at work.  She doesn’t even have the energy to blog anymore!
• Nuasea!!! – we went out to dinner on Friday and she thought she was going to throw up so she took a glass of water and stepped outside to get some fresh air (hard to find in Manhattan-no offense) and when she came back in she said, “Don’t you think that ketchup smells disgusting?!! I can’t stand it.”  I did not detect the odor of ketchup at all.
• Bigger bre.asts- she is in for quite a time, I fear.  We are only in the first weeks!
• New reports of digestive trouble- doctor just told her this morning she should take bene.fiber every morning. Like my grandma.

It is amazing that with each new discomfort she feels we are both ecstatic.

Thanks for all of your good thoughts and wishes for us.  We have relied on all of your support a ton in the last couple of weeks and it has made a huge difference.  We couldn’t have done it without you. xoxo.
