Retroactive Post VII: 4w4d or DOUBLE

My beta doubled. It was 499 to be exact. I can't even begin to describe what a relief this is. I cried and cried in my little cube after I got off the phone with the nurse. I couldn't even call MH right away. I could only cry tears of joy, thanks, and relief. I never in a million years thought that some of the best moments of my life would occur at work on the phone with a nurse I barely know!

Today also marks the longest I have ever been pregnant so it has been one incredible day for me. I'm still afraid, but I'm not paralyzed by it. We'll wait until next Thursday when the third and final beta is due for the next installment of terror. Welcome to motherhood, I guess. I get the sneaking suspiscion that I will live in continual state of fear for my child so I better get a grip on it.

I'm really starting to get excited now. I can't wait to tell my friends I am DYING! They better all cry tears of joy and buy me lots and lots of cute baby stuff! I kid, I kid...sort of!

I'll wrap up this up with my first really embarassing/hilarious pregnancy story. I cannot get enough water, truly at work I drink about 90-100oz! So, naturally I have to pee um, every 3.45 seconds. Well, last night I make my 14, 734th visit to le potty and then head back to bed. I'm there for approximately a minute maybe a minute and half when I feel the urge to pee again. F*&K!!! (I don't think urge accurately describes it in my defense) Yes, my friends I wet the bed. I couldn't get up fast enough. It was like I lost control of bladder. I hope this is the first and last time for that. Luckily, I have a fabulous mattress cover!
