Appointments- I go for a 5th beta on Wednesday or Thursday. This is an iui pregnancy so my RE monitors until hcg reaches a certain point then I'll have an u/s I think next week to see if there's a heartbeat. Betas started low but have been doubling nicely so far.
Randoms- I'm planning to install light fixtures in my condo today.
Bitch- no, but it's early
Looking forward to- getting those light fixtures installed so I can move on to other home projects.
Weekly Appointments: I cancelled the pg confirmation appointment I had scheduled for Wednesday this week. I had originally scheduled that prior to my midwife calling in a prescription for progesterone, so I decided to cancel it and keep a July 13 appointment I also had instead. Maybe this is a dumb decision, but I figured if I go Wednesday and they draw betas, my second draw will be Friday and then I have to anxiously wait all weekend for the results, and I'm just not sure I'm ready for that stress.
Weekly Randoms: my daughter has her final week of evening swim lessons, and I know most of the other moms at the pool. I am so bloated lately I honestly feel like I look four months pregnant. I'm kind of worried they're going to start asking questions that I'm not ready to answer, so on this 85 degree + day I may be stuck in a beach coverup
Monday Bitchfest: my MIL was acting pretty nasty last night at dinner about getting together for the fourth (we've had plans with friends who live out of town for about two months), and when I explained we probably won't be available, she snapped back, "well if you have a better offer, guess you better take that." Um, seriously?
Something you're looking forward to: so, so much. I always tell myself I can relax when we hit certain milestones: confirming the pregnancy is viable. First scan. A/S. I have to take this a day at a time.
