I went in for my blood test yesterday to confirm that the FOUR home tests i had taken were in fact accurate...and I got the call I have been waiting for for 17 months...I'm REALLY pregnant!!! YIPPPEEEEE!!! Dr. Werlin even called me all the way from Steamboat CO to tell me how excited and happy he was for us...what a guy!!
My HCG level was 131 (which is in the high normal range!!), and my progesterone was over 100 as well. Both GREAT levels, and definitely out of any danger zone!! I of course asked if I was in the range for twins, and the Nurse Practitioner said that if she had to guess at this point, she would say that it was one baby...but that could change by next week! Yikes!!
I will be back in Monday and Wednesday next week to make sure my levels are doubling like they are supposed to, and then HOPEFULLY Friday for our first ultrasound!!
It is finally sinking in for us, and we are so excited!! Jake's response was the best-when I asked him if he was ready to be a big brother, his smile stretched from one end of the room to the other, and he told us that he had been praying EVERY night for this, and he was sooo happy! He then asked me yesterday if he could start telling his friends, because he was "bursting with excitement and needed to be able to share it!!" What a great kid...we are already so blessed, and it looks like now we will be even more so!

What do you say to someone when they have waited 17 months to have a baby? Do you say Congrats? No, this is much more than that. I am truly so happy for you two and love the three of you. Auntie B is going to be so lucky. :)
