First beta

So I dropped W off at work today and went immediately to the RE's office. It was 7:45 but I waited outside until they opened! Yes, I really did....and without an appointment too.

They were surprised to see me, but they decided to go ahead and check a beta. I anxiously awaited the results all day long. Priscilla (the RN at the RE's office) paged me at 1pm. When I called her back, she said "I just wanted to let you know it's real!"

She told me that we're still very early. I have to go in on Monday to make sure my betas are increasing like they should. Hoping and praying it does.....I want this child so bad.

We decided to go ahead and tell our parents. We thought it would be better to have support if (God forbid) we miscarry or have complications from the pregnancy. They were really excited and making big plans for the little one.

In other news, W and I have always had names picked out that we liked. Temporarily (or forever according to the hubby) we have decided on these:
Girl: Emma Leigh
Boy: Warren Thomas (named after the hubs of course).

Today has been an OK day. I have constant low-level nausea, but I feel fine if I nurse a bottle of Sprite all day long. I'm perfectly ok with all these pregnancy symptoms--I keep telling myself they mean good things for the pregnancy. Stick baby, stick--we want you to come home with us in 8 months.
