Worrying does not empty tomorrow of its troubles,
It empties today of its strength. ~Corrie ten Boom
Courage doesn't always roar.
Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow. ~Mary Anne Radmacher (thank you beadinglady)

Looking at betabase.info, your numbers look good. You have a doubling time of like 53 hours, and I believe they like to see doubling time between 48 and 72 hours...so looks like you are doing just fine! Good luck on beta #3!
It didn't double, but it's pretty close. Best of luck to you for your 3rd beta next week. Hang in there.
