Beta Results are in

And I scored over 700...not familiar with the science of pregnancy...well those numbers mean twins. YAY! needless to say I am totally stoked & I know the intended parents shared a bottle of champagne to celebrate today. I celebrated by eating a grilled cheese sandwich for breakfast and 3 rolled tacos for dinner. Now if only I had a Thai iced tea, a plate of bacon wrapped scallops and a huge thing of onion rings from Red Robin, my life would be complete.

It goes without questions that these tiny little boogers have me craving some of the WEIRDEST things! Earlier in the week all I could think about was stuffed mushrooms. I finally got them on Wednesday night and they were like the most delicious thing I have ever eaten in my life. i think i might be in love with them. in fact...add them to the list of things i am craving RIGHT NOW. and a lemon brulee from claim jumper. and SHIT why am I thinking about food at 10:30 at night when the kids are asleep and I can't go get anything??? ugh. pregnancy can be frustrating. But on a positive note I am cleared to work out again (thank god considering the things i want to eat!) so its yoga tomorrow morning!!!

Peace Love and Junk FoOd.

I FORGOT...


to post the pic of the new embryos...crappy scan but you can tell by how they look they are better than the last set...well, if you have looked at pictures of blastocysts before that is...we will just say that these 2 little buggers are EXCELLENT!

I don't need a blood test to tell me I am pregnant...

or at least that the hormones are properly tricking my body into thinking it is! Morning sickness - CHECK! (more like an all day nausea...which i am no stranger to) exhausted to the point of napping on my lunch break - CHECK!
grumpy & irritable - CHECK!
Sore boobs - CHECK!
cramping - CHECK!
DID I MENTION GRUMPY & IRRITABLE?!?!?!

so the transfer went well, bed rest went...well as bedrest goes(BOO!)...and now we wait. I have my quantitative HcG test on the 28th and then we just go from there. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

TOMORROW...

...is the big day: IVF #2...Keep your fingers cross people, cause I'm in for a wild ride. I check into my hotel tonight (The Palomar in westwood -read: tiny!) and early in the AM I have my transfer then its back home to bedrest in my own bed, with my own tv & my books and friends can come visit - THANK GOODNESS! Cause the last time around was like prison.

Oh & just FYI my intended parents are getting married in October - I am so excited for them!!! I'm hoping by then to have good news for them...a bun safely baking in the oven.

Well, I am sure you will hear from me again soon.

Peace.
