It doesn't feel quite real
Although I've had several blood tests that confirm it, Dale and I are still finding it hard to believe that I'm pregnant. It doesn't quite feel real, to either of us. Mostly, to me, because I've had no symptoms yet. Nothing at all in my body is telling me there's something different going on.
I still half-expect the doctor's office to call up and say, "oops, silly us, we made a mistake! You're not pregnant at all!"
Progesterone Monitoring, 2nd test
I was out this afternoon when I got the call with today's test results, so the message was brief and I didn't really ask any questions. It was good news, though. My progesterone and hcg levels are both up, but Dr. Vaughn wants to keep monitoring me, so I'm to continue the progesterone supplements and have more blood drawn Monday morning.
My hcg is up to 64 and progesterone is up to 18.5.
Monday we told our parents, my sister, and two of our closest friends. Friday night, at Dale's 30th Birthday dinner with his family, we're going to announce the news. Next Monday, if the test results are good again, I'll publish these posts.
I don't know what I'll do if the news is bad.
