Optimism

Well, I had some follow-up labwork done today just to make sure everything was still looking good and I am praising the Lord right now for this miracle He has given me. My numbers were great beta HCG 4931 and progesterone 16.77. Although the RE would typically like to see the progesterone higher he is not concerned since I am on progesterone suppostories. The type of suppository that I am using doesn't really effect the blood level of progesterone...it works more at the place where it is needed...the uterus. So I am feeling a surge of Optimism today and I can't wait for my ultrasound next Wednesday. We should be able to see a heartbeat then and I would feel truly relieved and excited to be able to see my baby's heartbeat. I will be seeing the RE for this first ultrasound and then I will probably be going to my regular doctor if everything goes well.

This journey to fill our empty arms is taking an unexpected and wonderful turn that will hopefully bring us closer to our final destination. I am so excited to be pregnant but I am also afraid that something will go wrong. I pray that the Lord will let us keep this miracle he has blessed us with and this baby will live a healthy and happy life.


I love this song I heard today....it really shows what should be important in life:

When I bow my head tonight
There will be no me, myself, and I
Just watch my wife and kids, please Lord
Thats all I ask for anymore
