Ahhhh, spring! (and a beta update)

When I got back to the house this afternoon after going for my beta and acupuncture, I all of the sudden noticed that hey, it's spring. Flowers are blooming. When did that happen? Could it be that something's been distracting me lately and I didn't notice? Hmmmm. So, enjoy a few shots from the garden. I swear, I have nothing to do with it -- these things pretty much grow on their own.

Second beta came back in today at 389, which more than doubled and made me very happy. Also happy-making was the news that my progesterone level was high enough (40.5) that I can decrease my shots to once a week. Hallelujah! Especially since the Mr. hit a vein on the way in tonight and made me bleed all over the family room carpet. The nurse told me that instead of a shot once a week, I could do vaginal suppositories three times a day, and sounded very excited to present me with that option. Lady, you're crazy -- I've had enough things up my hoo-hoo over the last few weeks. The party stops here.

Next step is another blood draw on Monday or Tuesday to check my thyroid levels. I'm hypothyroid, and apparently this whole pregnancy thing can knock things out of whack. And then we wait for the ultrasound. Love the waiting!

Happy spring to all, and to all a good night. I'm off to bed dreaming of parmesan.
