The news we've waited 2.5 years for, finally came at 12:16pm. Dr. Loret De Mola called with our blood test results. He asked me how I was feeling, and he said "well you did it. You are definately pregnant."
In order to be considered pregnant, the HCG level has to be 25 or higher. Mine was 439! I asked him if the was indicative of multiples and he said possibly. He said "one for sure, maybe two, but not three."
We go back on Monday for another blood test and the numbers should double.
I was shocked. I've waited to hear those words for so long that I didn't know what to say. Bill was home and we cried and hugged. All the things I hadn't allowed myself to think about ran through my mind. It is overwhelming, but I just have to take it one step at a time.
We went to dinner to celebrate and we bumped into a friend we had not seen in several years. He asked the usual questions, he thought he had heard we had a kid. He kept trying to buy us drinks. We hinted, but he wasn't getting it. He joined us for dinner and we told him. He was so happy for us that he picked up our dinner tab.
Bill is already thinking about how to remodel upstairs....... so much to think about, but still being tentative until we get past the critical stages.
