Today I had another Docs appointment for my 3rd and final blood test. The poor gal had a hard time getting the needle in. I have only ONE vein, in my left arm, that phlebotomists have ever been able to get at. ONE. So..if that fails then it is time to use the veins in the top of my hand..and I was dreading that because that hurts like a mofo.

She had to try four times, but it finally worked. She was getting nervous, at one point she said to me "You are making me sweat..." LOL

She said I am all scarred up from the previous blood draws I had done. I said "I guess it is a good thing I am not an IV drug user eh?" She chuckled and agreed.

Well,the docs office just called with my results. My hCG levels last Thursday were at 407, and today they are at 5124. Yessa!! She wanted to schedule an ultrasound for tomorrow, and I wanted to do it so very much. However, we are leaving at 6 a.m. tomorrow morning to head to Atlanta to the annual Christmas Party. Yay. That should be LOADS of fun. My sober self around all those drunks. I will have camera in hand. I have to amuse myself somehow.

Anyway, our first ultrasound to see the bug is scheduled for Tuesday at 1 p.m.
This is suddenly becoming more real to me. I am in awe of what is going on inside of me right now.

*sigh*
