Rough Start

On our honeymoon on Oct 9th, Jeromy and I decided it was time we started trying for another baby. Since it happened to be our honeymoon it seemed like a good time to start. Before we even officially knew I was pregant it was over. On Oct 18th I was having an early miscarriage before I even knew for sure that I was pregnant. I was sad, but wasn't giving up that easily. Our Doc said to just keep working at it and so we did. Apparently we're pretty good at making babies because by Nov. 18th I was holding a positive pregnancy test saying, "Jeromy, is that a line?" Within a couple days (Since I had a bulk stock of tests we tested daily for a week) the line was dark and obvious and we were officially excited, if not a bit nervous. By Thanksgiving we had told his family and mine plus a few friends, but we just weren't ready for "everyone" to know since it is still so early. Today I am 5 weeks and 3 days pregnant. Yesterday after a few rough patches my Doc called me in for HCG level testing. My level was 8,585 and tomorrow I will be going in for another test to make sure the numbers are doubling every 48 hours. It's a bit nerve wracking, but we just hope for the best and do what we can to ease the stress. I have come to terms with the fact that I don't have control over everything that happens with this baby. I am eating healthy, taking my prenatals, not smoking or drinking, walking regularly, and getting a good amount of sleep. I can only do so much. The rest is up to God. Hoping for encouraging news tomorrow.
