Yesterday I had my third and final beta test... it came back at 19,226!!!! Which is way higher than me or the nurse were anticipating. So even though I've been pretty relaxed since finding out I was PG, I'm even more relaxed now. And Monday is the big ultrasound day! I'm hoping these high beta numbers don't mean there's 2 little beans growing in there ;) Not that we wouldn't feel extremely blessed, it's just that we're still in shock from finding out we're PG, let alone finding out it's twins LOL I have a feeling it's just another BIG baby growing in there. My beta numbers doubled really fast when I was PG with Colin, and he ended up being 11lb 9oz. So my guess is these high numbers mean I'm having another huge baby. Which means another c-section. I won't even get into my thoughts on that one today, we can save that fun topic for another day.
Tomorrow we're finally telling my parents the news. They're going to be so excited! And my brother and SIL will be there with their 2 kids, so it'll be fun. I already sent a letter to my other brother, Kevin, who's being deployed to I. on the 25th. He should've got the letter yesterday or today, so he's officially the first family member to hear our news. I hope that makes him happy - I know he's getting homesick :( We're hoping on Sunday to tell Scott's parents the news. His Mom has been sick lately, so even though they live so close, we haven't had a good time to share the news with them. Hopefully she's feeling well enough on Sunday for us to visit for a bit!
So it's only 8:25pm and I'm heading to bed. The exhaustion of the first trimester is kicking my butt. That and the all day nausea. Nothing helps it but to eat.... constantly. At this rate, I'm going to gain 100lbs during this pregnancy!!! I guess this is good night. Wish us luck telling the parents this weekend!

Is This For Real?
Last Friday, Scott and I got some surprising news. We're having another baby!!!
I'll try to make a long story short with this on how it happened. Well, I'm sure you can figure out how it happened, but there is a reason why this was such a surprise. This cycle was pretty irregular and the Dr had me go in for a Progesterone test to see if I had ovulated. The test showed I hadn't - it was 1.06. They started me on Provera, which induces your period to come. It had been 11 days since I finished taking the Provera and still no period. I called the Dr and the nurse sent me in for a blood test to see if I was pregnant. In my head I was thinking what a waste of time it was since I never ovulated. How could I get pregnant if I never ovulated??? Well she called back 2hrs after I gave my blood and asked if I was sitting down. Yep, I was pregnant!!!! I, naturally, freaked out and ran into my friend Amy's cube (I was at work). I was hysterical - crying, laughing, and in complete shock all at once. I couldn't believe it and still can't! Scott was equally shocked when I told him the news that night. We both agreed - this is how we wanted pregnancy #2 to happen - totally by surprise and couldn't be happier.
I was sent for a second beta test today and my levels skyrocketed, making this all more real to me. Colin's going to be a big brother.... Holy Moly!!!! We're planning on telling our parents this weekend now that we've absorbed the information and got used to the idea somewhat. I'll have my first u/s next Monday, the 18th so I can be given a due date. Hopefully there will be a little heart beating away for us to see!
This BFP is what prompted me to start blogging. I know with a toddler I may not take the time to focus so much on this pregnancy, so maybe blogging will keep me connected to this baby a little better. I'm sure Colin will be talked about just as often too LOL
So as of today, I have no idea what my due date is, but I'm guessing somewhere around May 10th... I'm feeling tired and a little naseous (I had actually thought I had the flu, before I got my BFP).
Stay tuned.....
