blood tests!

Hey all! So I called Dr Chen today, since I completely forgot to call her on Thanksgiving. Oh well! She was excited... well, Tiffany the girl at the front was excited and I just assume the Dr was, too. The hcg level blood tests need to be done one day apart apparently, so since the lab is closed Sunday I'll be going in Saturday and Monday for my testing and she will call me with the results.  If the results are good, then we'll get our first fetal ultrasound next week!  No heartbeat (audible at least) until 9 weeks, I think.. and next week will be my 5th week, so a few more weeks until the heartbeat can be heard.

Work was brutal today.  And on Thanksgiving, too.  I know you're sick of hearing how ridiculously tired I am.. but crap! I almost fell asleep today. Yesterday was a bit easier since I made Sebastian go along with me.  I like the clients that are there now.  I make a couple of them hang out with me in the store for some company.  I seriously need to invest in a TV, like.. 2 weeks ago.  I know TV rots your brain, but it makes the time pass so much faster.  Maybe some books or books on tape (or iPod).

As you've guessed I'm sure, I'm off to bed.  Updates tomorrow!!

happy thanksgiving!

My best friend Ali (shoutout!) convinced me to spend $18.99 (plus tax, mind you) on two of those digital tests.  I couldn't find single packs.  I'll admit, it is much more 'real' seeming with the digital result.  Now I just need to call Dr Chen and let her know so we can move to the blood work.  Now I'm nervous all over again.  I wish being pregnant was just a done deal.  I guess it's not that way for anyone!  The 'what ifs' are killing me!! Alright.. I know you're sick of seeing these pictures, and to be frank.. I'm sick of taking tests! I'm just anxious to see the blood results, but here it is..

I'll post another one later to say what Dr. Chen says about getting bloodwork.  Happy Thanksgiving you guys!!!
