I had the last of my weekly blood draws on Monday and my hcg levels continue to rise. I am super happy that no longer on Mondays do I need to go to the clinic and get poked for more and more blood. I am shocked that I even have blood left at this point. I counted on my calendar and so far since August I have had 10 tubes of blood drawn. But hey I'm done!!!
I also received the good news that my levels were good and the clinic told me time to schedule the ultrasounds! My first one is on Oct. 21st. I am ecstatic! One of the IF's will be able to make it up to see the baby for the first time. How crazy is that? In 10 days we will get to see this little miracle via ultrasound. We will also get to see if it is one or two babies, although I am pretty sure that it is just one. But one never knows till we see the ultrasound.
I am currently 5 weeks and 4 days. The clinic told me my official due date is... JUNE 9TH! I am excited. I have had two other June babies and it just feels right to deliver in the summer. I am feeling good, still tired but no sickness... yet. Knock on wood. I think it's gonna hit me how real this all is when the ultrasound comes and we have proof right before our eyes. I can't wait to share that amazing moment with the IF!.
This is SO amazing girl! What a complete blessing to be able to do this for someone. You kick butt! Good luck!
