Keep on keepin’ on…

So I heard back on the HCG quant numbers. They are at 38,950. They still aren’t doubling every 72 hours, but are growing. I’ve been feeling nauseous for the past couple of days too, so that’s probably a great sign. I’ve cramped a teensy bit too, which doesn’t really mean anything- it’s just as likely that I’m having growing pains as it is that I’m showing signs of miscarriage. I had cramps in the first trimester with Austin, Bella & Noah.

I have my first OB appointment on the 1st of August, at which point I’ll already be about 11 weeks and almost in the clear.  I’ve never had a loss after the first trimester and the docs seem to think I’m safe if I make it to 12 weeks. So, I guess it’s back to waiting! :-)

7/2: 9984

7/7: 17671

7/9: 22392

7/15: 38950

Grow Baby Grow!

Come on girl, come on! Hang in there!

As for your post right below, I have told Martin I want to buy lots and lots of bullets and canned food and seeds. Call me crazy but what is wrong with being prepared. We have water and lots of woods surrounding us. My family and his dad could come stay. People don’t want to believe it but this country is in serious shape. God knows I hope Obama will win but Bush has left an awful awful mess for the new guy.

We’re pulling for you! Relax, don’t stress, remember to calm yourself by breathing–it’s hard, I know–but whatever you can to do go easy on yourself until that magic 12th week, do it!
