Drumroll Please.....

The third beta results are in - 778! I'm so glad my numbers are going up, although I was hoping for a number a little higher (ya know, hoping for those twins ;-) ). I go back on Friday for one more beta test just to be sure everything is all set and then the ultrasound is on Monday - woohoo!! I was a little surprised that they are doing the first ultrasound so soon - I figured they would wait until after 7weeks when it is more common to see the heartbeat - but I am not going to complain! The sooner we get in there and see that baby growing healthy, the better!!

Unfortunately, M1 won't be able to make it. He already has Tuesday off for another engagement and M2 is off all week...so it only makes sense for M2 to come to the ultrasound. I was a little disappointed but M1 reassured me that 1.) he will be there for everything he possibly can in the future (he even went as far as saying he will be there more than I want him too - haha!) and 2.) He is "with me" 24/7 - he is always thinking about me. Awww - doesn't he know I'm all hormonal and he's going to make me cry? ;-)

And I know I still owe you all pictures from the baby shower this past weekend - but I can't post them from work and I don't get on the computer much at home in the evening...I promise I'll post them soon!

Now that we really know I am knocked up, I am going to end each post with my pregnancy symptoms / cravings / etc. :-)

Headaches - right now this is the biggest problem I am having. My head is constantly pounding. I can't stand up too fast or I get dizzy and my head hurts. I guess it's from all the extra blood flow going on in there. I can't wait for these to go away!!

Exhaustion - manageable. I'm super tired all the time but I deal with it. I hardly ever nap (although I would like to!) and I generally get a normal amount of sleep at night. I remember with Shayla I was sleeping 12 hours a night and then napping for 2-3 hours a day. So this time around, not as bad.

Backache - there but not bad. More annoying than anything.

Thirsty - still have this but it's letting up a little. I'm still thirsty a lot but I'm not drinking gallons of water a day any more.

Sore boobs - depends on the day. Some days just walking hurts, other days I'm fine. Today is a fine day - woohoo!

So that's my pregnancy TMI (Too Much Information) for the day! Thanks for reading ;-)
