One Last Blood Test

My levels were tested one last time this morning. When I walked out of there I was really hoping that was the last needle I see for a while. I just got a call from my nurse with the results and my number had increased to 1,008. So that is great - it is much more than doubling. I was a little nervous the other day because I had thought she said my levels two days ago were 77, but they were actually 377 which is much better.

I am starting to see a couple more pregnancy symptoms. First, the vivid dreams. I woke up feeling like I had not even slept because of my dreams. It is crazy how that happens and I wonder why it does happen as a result of being pregnant. I had them with Kyler too. Second, I was extremely dizzy when I woke up. Any time I would bend over I felt like I might fall down. And a warm shower didn't help matters. I looked in my pregnancy reference book and it said it was a result of either the additional blood circulation or low blood sugar. I have been taking my Metformin religiously so hopefully it isn't low blood sugar.

We have an ultrasound scheduled for a week from tomorrow. I will be 6 weeks, 2 days pregnant. We should be able to see the little bean and hear his or her heartbeat at that time. I hope everything is developing well and I can't wait for that visual confirmation! I am also looking forward to the end of July when the greatest chance for miscarriage is over. That will be another big relief. We continue to pray that this little one develops happy, healthy, and normal. I am so looking forward to meeting him/her in February!
