Can't sleep...

I can't sleep... Of course, the ONLY morning I get to sleep in, and I can't sleep. I'm hot and sweaty and I keep rolling around..... and I'm wheezing, coughing,  sniffling and sneezing  :(

OK... let me catch you up on this past weeks events....
Last Saturday, Sept 17- I took a pregnancy test and it was negative
Sunday, Sept 18- Negative
Monday, Sept 19- Negative
Tuesday morning, Sept 20- I woke up when my husband left for work at 4am and tested- and...... drum roll please.....
IT WAS POSITIVE!!!!!

( There are two lines there, I promise!!!)


So, I called my doctor that morning with the sole purpose of getting my test results from last Thursday's (9-15-11) bloodwork... and I ended up telling them that I got a faint positive..... Dr. Taft wanted to see me right away. And plus my boobs were already feeling a little strange. Well, I hadn't told Justin yet. I wanted to surprise him that night at home, but that didn't get to happen. I text him asking if he could meet me at ABF but he said he had a physical that afternoon. Well, knowing something was up, he cancelled his appt and came with me to mine :) My hCG level was 25 on Tuesday. Which is considered pregnant!!!

Wednesday, Sept 21- I woke up at midnight and had to pee, so I did. Then, when I got up at 6:30, I tested again, just to make sure it was getting darker, and it wasn't... it was lighter... so I freaked out and called my doctor... They said to calm down because there is nothing they can do or say until we have more numbers to compare the first draw with. (my midnight pee probably made the test faint bc my pee was diluted)
Ok, relax... yea right!!! With my first pregnancy, I lost it 5 days after I found out I was pregnant.. how the hell am I supposed to relax???!!!

This is Wednesday's test- Much lighter than Tuesday's test

Here is a comparison from Tuesday to Wednesday...



Thursday, Sept 22- I went back for more bloodwork. My boobs are feeling more sensitive and tender. And my pants, yea... it's hard to button them because I'm so bloated.



This is at 4am on Thursday before Justin went to work :) Apparently my levels went up because on Tuesday when I took a digi, it was neg


The line is definitely getting darker :)
These were both taken on Thursday morning.

Friday, Sept 23- I got a call from my nurse, Dorthy, and she said my levels doubled and they are now at a 59!!! YAY!!! I know it's still so early, but it's such a good sign that they are doubling so far. Last pregnancy, when I got that call, she told me that my levels had dropped and I was about to miscarry, which I did.
So, I'm extremely excited and I want to shout it from the rooftop!!! However, I'm still being very cautious since it is so early. At first, I was like, I'm not telling anyone until 12 weeks.... then I changed it to 6 weeks (first ultrasound) and now... I really don't care if people know... It just means that more people will be praying that this baby sticks =)

So, Today- Saturday, Sept 24- I can't sleep. I usually sleep on my stomach, but since my boobs feel like they are bruised, that's hard to do. And my stomach feels like it did after I had my surgery. It's sore and feels like someone has been stretching my insides. ALL OF THIS IS SO WONDERFUL!!! :-)
I feel like I'm ACTUALLY pregnant and I'm loving it!!! When I don't feel my boobs hurting, I get slightly worried. I know the pain can come and go, but I rather that it just stay and remind me that I'm pregnant!!
I can't wait for next week. On Monday, I go back for another blood draw and I get the results Tuesday morning. I really hope they will be over 200 !!

Well, I'm getting sleepy again so I'm going to try this sleep thing one more time now that my house feels like an ice box and I took my inhaler
 :-)
