UPDATE...The Wait is Killing Me!

***UPDATE***
Dr. G called!  My HCG was over 1000...so this is really happening!  I AM PREGNANT!  Holy Moly!  I cannot believe it.  She said my progesterone was a bit on the low side...14.2.  I have no clue what that means.  Does anyone know what normal is?  In the excitement of the call I completely forgot to ask her. Seriously, I am freaking out right now!  Praise God!




First...did you see my ticker?  It's over to the left.  I'm 5 weeks today!  I know that isn't very far at all but I think it's exciting.  Look at all of the cool things my baby already has.  My little poppy has a heartbeat, and eye, ear, and limb buds.  That is so cool!

I still haven't heard back from Dr. G on my blood results.  This is killing me!  Who makes an IF girl who never thought she would ever be pregnant wait this long for test results?  Seriously?  This is just crazy.  I'm losing my mind over here.  I want to scream it from the rooftops but dh has convinced me to wait until we get the results back.  It's not that we think it's not real...I know it is.  DH is just a very analytical (he's an engineer) and needs to see it on paper.  I got a bit frustrated with dh last night because I feel like he isn't as excited as I am...or at least he isn't showing it.  He said he's just in shock.  Like me he thought this would never happen.  It took us two years which we both realize is nothing in the IF world.  I'm hoping when he sees it on paper he will perk up a bit.  I'm thinking about going out and getting a USF onsie for him.  Maybe that will help.  We are huge Bulls fans and have season tickets to the football games.  Maybe it will seem more real to him when he realizes that we will have a little one with us for the 2011 season.

So, I'm trying to figure out how to tell our family.  I want to do something fun.  I meant to have someone take a picture of us last Sunday after church.  DH's whole family was there (we're talking 30 people).  My idea was to play off the Mastercard Commercials.  I was going to get one of the double frames with hinges.  I would put the picture of us on one side and a card on the other that said something like this:

Picture Frame - $10

Picture - $0.30

Realizing there are 3 people in this picture - PRICELESS

I just thought it would be cute.  And I think it would be really cool since we knew we were pregnant on that day but no one else did.  But...I never got the picture taken so I'm on to coming up with other ideas.  DH doesn't think his mom would like something cutesy.  She is however really into decorating (her house is AMAZING).  She's been wanting to come over to see the new couch we bought awhile back.  So dh and I were thinking about having them over for dinner and saying something like..."We were hoping you would help us pick out a paint color for the extra room." and then handing her some pink and blue paint chips and then saying "We're going to need help picking out a crib too."  What do you think?  Then for my family I was just going to get some baby picture frames and put something in it that says "Insert Picture of Baby M in March 2011."  I don't know...I'm just not all that creative.

I just hope Dr. G calls me soon.  Patience is something I don't have much of.  I've got to work on that. :)
