No, I didn't take a HPT. This is just an image from the web.
We got more good news this morning when my lab results showed up in my inbox. My HCG level was 995! This basically means the baby (or babies) are continuing to grow as they should be doing. My level on Monday was 154 and the numbers are supposed to double every 48 hours or so. One more test to go on Tuesday and then I am pretty sure the next thing will be an ultrasound at 6 or 8 weeks (right now I am 4 weeks 5 days). Things are starting to feel real. I still say to Shaun every day "I am pregnant! That is so weird to say. So surreal."
It just goes to show you can never predict how things in your life will turn out. If you are reading this and you are wondering if you will ever be a mom or if you will ever get to carry a child, please don't give up hope. God sees you and knows your heart's desire. I am in awe of the way the Lord has written our story. Definitely not the way we would have written it, but abounding with blessing along the way. I am so thankful. We have two sweet girls who we didn't meet until they were 4 months old, but who are now 3 1/2 and the light of our lives! And, we have been blessed with the dream of experiencing pregnancy by giving life to embryo babies that were frozen over four years ago. Amazing, just amazing.
