Blood HCG levels
Okay, I finally got a call from the doctor. She told me that the levels that she was going to give me are not by themselves a perfect indicator of how far along I am at this time, because I have to compare it with tomorrow's blood HCG levels, but she said that the number of the level is 1529. She said this would typically mean that I am probably 2-3 weeks long...so that's how far along I could be, but we won't know until she does it again. I also won't know if this baby is thriving or not till I get the results back Monday. But at least I know something.
I wish I could get rid of the butterflies in my stomach feeling though....

Take a nice hot bubble bath and relax.

Ahh Bethany. It will be a long weekend for you...for sure. But really, try to pray and leave it in God's hands...for the weekend anyway. I know how it is to worry. I hate that butterfly feeling. It's worse than at least KNOWING something for sure. But I will keep you and baby in my prayers. I know it's hard. There isn't much any of us can say or do. I just hope the weekend goes quickly for you.

Bethany, I would say those numbers are good. Mine never got above 100! Let's pray for a good, solid double. I know the waiting is probably driving you crazy, but we're all praying for you and the little one.

Hi,
I am glad to see you are able to get your mind clear enough to make those cookies. I love them. I get them at a cookie exchange but never got around to getting the recipe. Mmmm!
I think I may have said before, I am expecting again- my 9th pregnancy (Due in Dec.) and I was so nervous in the beginning that I had an early ultrasound at 7 weeks. Seeing the picture on my fridge helped me to think about my little one to come and not the ones I lost.
Still praying for you,
Cheryl

Bethany,
I don't really know what to say but to try to have a relaxing weekend with your family and also to spend some quiet time with yourself...maybe journaling your thoughts and feelings or doing some artwork??? Just a thought. I am thinking of you and the baby and keeping you both in my prayers.

Hi -
Try to keep yourself busy with the kids so you won't have time to dwell on this. It is easier said than done, I know. I will have you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

I am praying for you!I read your earlier blog about your loss, and I know how hard it is to not be extremely fearful about another loss.As I said in my msg yesterday, I had a very painful loss, but my next pregnancy even with spotting in my th month brought me a beautiful, intelligent, very active daughter that is now 3 and a half.I can't give you a logical reason but I think that this pregnancy is going to go just fine.You didn't take that pregnancy test by chance.There was a reason that God wanted you to know that you are pregnant.Tests these days, even urine, can be accurate as soon as 10 days after conception.So you just hang in there and know that you have 3 children that you were able to carry full term and try not to over-stress yourself.It isn't good for you or the baby.I pray that God gives you peace and a speedy answer about where this pregnancy is going.I bet before to long we will be reading about your morning sickness and all of the other wonderful things that go along with pregnancy
