It's been a rough 2 days. I had spotting - no cramping - that I thought for sure was an indicator that we were losing the baby...turns out no. Late July my HCG was 17,000...yesterday it was 109,000. Apparently between 8 and 9 weeks there's some development taking place within the placenta which can cause spotting - so I was freaking out for nothing :-) Let me just tell you how happy Mom was to hear that after I woke her up at 1:30 in the morning crying like a nut.
I was so nervous that the nurse would call and would want to talk to me about scheduling an appointment - did you ever notice that they schedule an appointment when they want to tell you bad news? As if it's not bad enough they're going to deliver bad news, they also want their co-pay :-P So when I call and the receptionist says "please hold, the nurses have been trying to get ahold of you" that tended to freak me out a little - especially since I was a little tightly wound since I couldn't get anyone to stay off of the phone it seemed :-) I keep telling Scott not to be surprised when CallWaiting gets added to the phone :-P *wink*
