First Test Results are in

Since 5 positive pregnancy test weren't enough to convince me I was pregnant, I decided to get my blood drawn. Beta hCG is the hormone the pee sticks detect for to tell whether or not you are pregnant. The blood test that detects these levels are much more accurate and quantitative, sometime it helps to determine how far along you are in your pregnancy (although the number scale is very vague for date determination). Your number is suppose to double every other day, if it does, doctors can rule out an ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy outside the uterus). Well my numbers are in and they look good!!!!!

Beta #1= 633
Beta #2= 1702
As you can see it more than doubles!! YAY
I also told my sister Mandie today! She is very excited. Her and her husband think it is a girl! Way too early to tell. She has a lot of baby stuff left over that she said she would give us, and boy will we take it!
Praise the Lord for this blessing. I will try to calm down a little bit now. We still understand it is really early and pray for a happy and healthy nine months.
