Long week...

As I said in my last post, I would blog about our dr apt and update. Well, Monday's apt didn't go so well. The dr wasn't able to find the baby. Very scary!! He was a to see the yolk sak but nothing else. I knew something wasn't right after he said to get dressed and come into his office. Thankfully Chris was with me because I immediately started freaking out. The dr said he wanted me to do blood work to check my hgc levels. I asked him if he thought that I was loosing the baby and he said that he wouldn't even come to that conclusion yet. He thought that maybe I wasn't as far along as I should be. Which he is correct. We know that date of conception, but they still count it from the first day of your last cycle. So frustrating!! So I had to do blood work on Monday and wednesday. I'm pretty sure my fear of needles is gone. I was stuck so many times with Luke and now twice already with this baby. I went Monday after my apt. The lady probably thought I was crazy because I just say there sobbing while she drew my blood. I went home and just felt like a zombie. Chris came home to be with me and help with the kids. I took a long nap because I was worn out. I went back Wednesday to do the blood work again. This time no tears. I asked the lady when my dr would get the results and she said not till Friday. I got upset because the dr told me I could call Thursday morning for the results. I went ahead and called Katie, dr powers nurse, and left her a message. She called me back a little later and gave me my results from Monday's draw. 14,800!!!! I knew that was good as soon as she told me!!! Praise God!!!! She said they fear a miscarriage when you're in the 100s or less. She was very happy with the results and said to call her back Thursday morning with Wednesday's results. 23,000!!!! Woohoo!!!!! Our God is awesome!!! Such a huge relief to hear!! Our sweet baby is okay. I go back Monday for another ultrasound. I'm praying that we will be able to see more this time.
So what a long week!! The whole time I just kept praying and praying that God would keep the baby safe. I felt very comforted by Him all week. There is no way I would have been able to keep it together without my God. He's just the greatest!!!
