New pregnancy, new hopes!

Another blood test this morning and more great numbers! The level is now at a 429! YAY!! It more than doubled again since Wednesday (when the level was 187)!

For the first time, the nurse sounded SO reassured by my numbers and wished us congratulations. This is sooo exciting!!!

Speaking of positivity, one of my friends from my yoga for fertility class sent me the nicest note about staying positive and reducing stress that I want to share with you all:

------
I was just thinking that I needed to send you a private note. I just read your blog entry today and it is such a positive result that your hcg levels are doubling! It means that the baby is growing and developing. I was so nervous every time I had to go in to get my blood beta levels and was constantly thinking I was doomed to have another miscarriage. I think since we've been down that road before, we are more cautious and scared. I am still very nervous although feeling more confident week by week. I don't think I'll truly feel good until I have a screaming baby in my arms.
I just wanted to let you know what a really nice nurse at my OB's office told me and I hope it makes you feel better as the baby continues to grow. Just keep in mind that this is a brand new pregnancy and enjoy every moment because any stress is not a good thing for the baby. Trust in your body and just take it easy. Get lots of sleep and drink TONS of water. I carry water with me all the time now.
I'm going to keep thinking positive thoughts for you but things are definitely going in the right direction!

Keeping the hope and positivity for our "little bean" alive! WOOT!!!!
