Beautiful Beta

20

I think this is a good number. I know it really means nothing until the second beta results but I'm a little excited. Carefully, guardedly excited. They stayed or one of them stayed. I can breathe a little and the weekend doesn't seem so long. My mom cried when I told her, even though I explained that we can't be too excited.

We had a very good technology training today and were allowed to play around with netbooks for a portion of it. Thank God because I was able to check my email and got the results midmorning.

There is a kindergarten teacher who I work with, she's an older, black lady who always says what she wants and sometimes says what she thinks when she doesn't really know what's going on. Anyway, she looked at me today and made a joke. There's a running joke about pregnancy in our building. Every year there is one or two pregnant teachers, one year there was 7. This teacher came up to me, really looked at my face and said she'd heard there were pregnancies again in the building and was I pregnant. She was looking carefully at my face while she said that. I sort of giggled and asked why she would ask me that. hehehe

Dear Embies,
I'm so sorry I ever doubted you were there.
I love you more than ever.
Please keep staying.

  14. Hang tight! It's not a bad beta and you may have just had a slow taker. Likely just one little guy. Wishing you the very best on next beta - for a BIG jump so you can be on your way! :)

  16. Good luck, hon - so glad you are still in the game. The number can vary widely depending on when implantation actually occured (and many other variables) but they are right about the change by Monday is what decides things. So, hoping for another good number then, take care!
