Uncharted Territory

Welp.  Here we are.  I made it to the third blood draw.  We're now in uncharted waters.

I swear, each one gets more and more nervewracking to wait for the results.

But to keep the suspense to a minimum....my HCG was over 4000!  Yay!!  They said it's perfect and we don't need to do anymore blood draws, the next time I will go in is for an ultrasound on November 28th.  That's over 2 weeks away!  How am I supposed to go from updates every other day to waiting two weeks again???  I really don't know how I'm supposed to do this haha  And it's the awkward time of when do we start telling people?!  Nate's sisters that live right here by us ask him all the time how things are going and they knew we'd be transferring soon, so we really can't keep it a secret much longer from them.  But I don't want to tell too many others until we have the ultrasound and confirm things look good.  Even then, I know things can go downhill quick.

I'm just trying really hard to enjoy the moment and be excited and not assume the worst is going to happen.  It still doesn't seem real.

I still haven't taken a home pregnancy test.  Is that bad?  Is that robbing me of some sort of excitement or a rite of passage?  I really have no idea.  I just can't deal with seeing another positive test, to only have it not turn out in the end.  So at this point, I'm okay just going along as I have been :)
