beta #2

The beta came in at 761, which isn't quite doubling in 48 hours.  It is something like 49.8 hours.  They want me to come back on Wednesday for a 3rd.  I know that this isn't too bad, but it feels bad to me.  I was really hoping to have over shot their expectations.

In other news, a friend asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding in March, on the other side of the US.  I told her to let me know more specifically when the wedding would be, when she knows.

    That sounds like it's probably within the margin of error. I don't think the number is as bad as you're feeling about it. Don't worry about it, and see what the number does Wednesday.

    Your numbers are still rising and close to doubling. Don't get too down! Good luck on Wednesday!

    I agree with previous commenters that your numbers are still rising and that's a great sign! I hope you have big, big numbers come Wednesday!

    Emmy, the betas I had with this pregnancy--sometimes the numbers were quadrupling in 48 hours, sometimes just barely doubling. So I think as long as they are close you are still good, and it's definitely possible the next one on Wednesday will be nice and high. I will be hoping with all my might!!

    I think your number still sounds great, it's nearly doubling! I'll be waiting to see what you get on Wednesday- like Adrienne said it's possible you could get a really high number then :)

    I think that sound's pretty normal, my doctor only ever wanted 60%. Waiting with you for the 3rd.

    Remember that a doubling beta is just a guide and yours are pretty close. I hate to be the one to do the whole 'I have a friend', but I do and her numbers were far from doubling and she is now about 15 weeks pregnant with a healthy boy. I know it's easy for me to say and hard for you to do, but hang in there. Those numbers are going up - that is GOOD news. Big (((hugs)))

    They should double in 48-72 hours. So you are fine!!!!! Keep up the hope and I will say a prayer for you. But I know it is hard.

    Mine doubled in the 49 hr range too and everything was A-ok =) The range is 48-72 hours so you are on the low end of that, congratulations!

    Looks to me like your friend may have to find another bridesmaid =)

    I'm so pleased for you. I've been reading your blog for a while. I'm currently 20 weeks pregnant via IUI. Good luck and am very happy for you.

    Emmy I've been thinking about you today and hoping everything looked good with your beta. I'll try to stay tuned--maybe you haven't heard yet since you are on the West Coast. (((HUGS))) I'm thinking of you!!!

It's you!

"It's you!  I just know it!  You've lost some weight, it must be because of the morning sickness!" No, it's not me.  I'm not pregnant. "But is HAS to be you.  Who else could it be?  You just don't want to tell because it is too early" No, really.  It's not me.  I promise.  I haven't cheated on my husband.   "Well, who else could it be?" Um, one of the other 20 teachers of child bearing age at this school.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've guessed the other two pregnant teachers, before I even knew there were pregnant teachers at my school.  I have 'pregodar' (like gaydar, but for preggos) and really can sense the preggos around me.  I hadn't pegged a 3rd teacher, but I heard a rumor that there is a third when I started being hounded, and I think I have it figured out.  Its the one on her 3rd engagement and 3rd marriage in 5 years.  She's reaching the top of her realistic baby time, so it makes sense.

plugging along

There really isn't much to say at this point.  I'm plugging along, doing fine. Yesterday, I bowed out of a BBQ with B's family.  In May I mentioned BIL's ex and her "surprise" (planned) pregnancy.  One of the reasons for this BBQ was for BIL's birthday, and she decided to drive down to attend (she's still living 5-6 hours away).  She's like 26 weeks pregnant, and the thought of having to spend the day with her made me feel ill.  BIL isn't planning on living with her and the baby or marrying her, but will go visit often.  She is such an attention whore, I couldn't deal with her talking about the baby and flaunting the fact that she is still around because of it.  I've felt a little bit of a cold coming on, so I exaggerated it and stayed home.  I did end up throwing up my dinner, so I'm glad I didn't go. I felt a little guilty about skipping out on this, but I got over it quickly.  MIL was hoping that B and I would announce our

off with the crazies

Well, as expected, I had a pretty crappy Christmas.  Christmas eve was actually the best part.  We always celebrate on Christmas eve with my mom's side of the family.  That was actually fine.  Christmas day, not so much.  First, at my dad's side of the family lunch, I've never felt like such an outsider.  Christmas at the IL's started out fine.  BIL's dumb girlfriend decided to group each person's gifts in a pile, and we opened gifts one person at a time.  This took forever, and was kind of annoying.  For this group, we set up a gift exchange with B's brothers, so that we didn't have to buy for everyone.  I did the arranging for this, and think I did a good job.  I gave everyone opportunity to give input and include anyone else who was not included (didn't know if BIL's girlfriend was coming), compiled the responses, and sent out the information.  After all of that, B's brother went and got something for everyone, which really set me off.  Be
