We're Expecting!!!

OUR CARRIER IS PREGNANT!!

So if you checked out the last post (I didn't put the link up thru FB) you would know that our carrier and I decided to get a jump on our pregnancy results so she took a home test that turned out to be positive.  Chris and I were both excited but we were cautious about telling too many people because we wanted to wait for the blood test to be sure.  Now we're sure!!

Our carrier had her blood test at 7 am today and I was basically watching my phone all day waiting for the results.  Around 3 pm today our carrier called me and told me that the blood test came back and she was definitely pregnant.  I say definitely pregnant because her beta hcg hormone level is so high that it's looking good that we have two little embryos growing in there!  For those that have used IVF or for my readers in the medical field, our beta number is 3392 at day 19.  To give you an idea, at day 19 for a singlet, the average hcg is 618 and for twins its 1191 so obviously our number is very high.

Another blood test will be done in two days to see how high how her beta hcg numbers are and to make sure that her levels are multiplying the way they should be.  This test won't tell us if she's carrying twins for sure but the number should give us a general idea.  

The first ultrasound will be done in two weeks on October 28th and that will give us a definite answer as to whether we should be expecting one or two.....or, heaven forbid, three.  

Oh.....and we have a due date......June 18 2014!!
