NOTHING TO REPORT

I've got no updates, no news on anything. I swear.

Yeah, the suspense is killing me, too!

I have my first ultrasound appointment this coming Wednesday, which cannot possibly get here soon enough. And I have prepared approximately 5.2 billion questions for my appointment that day.

Until then, I don't have much to say. There is not much to write about when your day consists of:

Get Up
Take Shower
Drive to Work
Work All Day
Drive Home
Eat
Give myself injection in the ass (YES I am STILL doing those!!!!)
Sleep

I am so tired, all the time, there is no energy left in a work day to get anything more accomplished than what is on the list. I miss the internet so much, but Monday through Friday there is no time to squeeze it in. Even now, at the early hour of 8:21 on a Friday night, I am cutting into valuable and much needed sleeping time.

I will absolutely try to post something even vaguely interesting this weekend. If I am awake!

DUE DATES

So, Babycenter.com calculates my due date as being November 28.
My sister has a wheel that calculates my due date as being November 29.
Anthony's mom used some formula to calculate my due date as being November 30.
And the clinic has determined that since we did IVF, my due date is December 2.

At least one thing is very clear with all of these due dates: I had better get all of my Christmas shopping done EARLY this year!

INTERESTING

So I had another beta today, and it came back at 3,486! Which, to me, is fantastic!

Then I did the math...my beta last Sunday was 133. Theoretically, it is supposed to double every 2 days.

Let's figure this out hypothetically -

If Sunday was 133, then Tuesday it should have been 266.

Which means that Thursday it would have been 532.

And yesterday it would have been 1,064. And TOMORROW it would have been 2,128.

But today it is 3,486! Am I overthinking this? I mean, I know it is not a perfect science, but even the clinic said on the voicemail "your beta came back VERY high, which is great news."

Is it great news because it means that my baby is just super-strong and is doing a great job of growing? Or is it great news because - gulp - the embryo split into indentical twins? I know that a higher-than-normal beta can be a sign of multiples, but I thought that the minute they only transfered one embryo that the possibility of more than one baby went right out the window. Probably because I assumed the possibility of just ONE baby was crazy, too!

I should have my first ultrasound in the next week or so. The clinic will call me this week to schedule it. At that appointment, I will get to see the heartbeat. Or heartbeats???

I need to not do this to myself right now. I am going to assume ONE baby until I am told otherwise.

And really, one baby or two or ten - I still couldn't be happier. I am NOT complaining, believe me! I am just perplexed.....
