Week 4 -- It's Confirmed!

On Tuesday, I went to the clinic for a blood test, which was positive. My hCG level was 364, which as the nurse said, is "wonderful." They get concerned if the level is under 50.

Thursday, I went back for my second blood test, and my hCG level was 1008. The level is supposed to double every other day, so my hormone levels are looking good.

I have yet another blood test scheduled for this Monday. Then we do an ultrasound the week of March 9th, and I have my first ob/gyn appointment scheduled for March 17th. Happy St. Patrick's Day!

This week, Baby is the size of a poppyseed.

3 Weeks + 5 Days -- We Find Out We're Pregnant!


The test on the bottom was the first I took. The line is there but faint. Of course, I had to check again with the digital. It said Pregnant! Ok, there was no exclamation point. I added that. We were so excited, we managed to hold it in for all of five minutes before calling our families.
