3 hours passed…
My sister surrogate and I shared messages of angst as we
waited…
4 hours passed…
My Case Worker joined in the wait with much anticipation and
even called to find out a time…
5 hours passed…
I began packing up to leave work, now realizing I wouldn’t
find out for another hour or more since I’d be driving and unable to read a text
or answer a phone call.
I grabbed my purse and my phone chimed. My Case Worker got the results BOTH OF US
WERE PREGNANT!
Shortly after I got a phone call with my numbers,
1,455. I vaguely remember my number
being around 500 last time, at this same time.
This was nearly triple!! WHAT?!
I emailed Dr. L’s office to make sure I heard correct. I did.
I go in tomorrow for another blood test to make sure that number is
rising (it should about double every 3 days if I remember correctly).
So now we wait until the ultrasound (somewhere after 6 weeks
– which is 2 weeks away) to listen for baby(ies) heartbeat(s) and count the
number of heartbeats.
Prayer Requests:
·
So far I have NOT been nauseous. If you remember, last time around this time I
was nauseous ALL DAY EVERY DAY. I lost a
TON of weight my first trimester because I could not eat anything no matter how
hard I tried. Pray this continues and I
have a nice easy first trimester
·
Pray that my anxiety about having twins subsides
since there is a 60% chance that is what I’m having and that I will not have to
miss any extra work due to complications
·
Pray these babies are healthy and strong and no “tough
choices” will EVER have to be dealt with during this pregnancy
·
As always, pray that my IP (Intended Parents)
see Christ through me. That they have an
amazing peace during this time as somebody else takes care of their babies for
the next 8ish months.
