RaeRae’s Pregnancy Journey

Second Beta! March 28, 2008

The worrying begins. At approximately 8:45 am I wake up, go tinkle and see some faint pink spotting on the toilet paper. Please God protect our baby. I post on the peach and immediately everyone reassures me its perfectly normal. I know plenty of women who experience this and go on to have healthy babies but when its you going through it you can’t help but worry.

I try and remind myself the baby is trying to burrow in for a good 8 more months and that can explain the spotting. Stick baby stick!

Yesterday we almost got into a car accident when someone pulled in front of my coworker as we were returning with our lunch. My uterus immediately cramped. I was so angry that fool almost caused harm to our baby! Motherly instincts have already kicked in.

I head into Austin to the CPL again and leave another sample and return home after the nurse advised me to take it easy and stay off my feet. No physical activities including exercise, sex or lifting heavy objects until 4 full days of no spotting has passed. I spend the day trying to work, chat and think of the million things that are going to change in my body the next 8 months. And I wait for the phone call.

My second beta results are in: HCG 1933, progesterone 46.8

Its more than doubled! I am really pregnant!!!

and here is my first belly pic. I can’t wait to see the progress!
