An emotional but happy day

So two big things happened today. 1- My not so baby girl started her first day of Kindergarten today! She was very excited and she looked so cute when she left for school. My husband took her in and walked her to class for the first day and I picked her up. She had a great day, like I knew she would. Before she left I told her to remember three things that she did so she could tell me when I picked her up. So when I got her in the car she said "Mommy I did shapes, went to the playground, and got water. You told me to remember 3 things so I did." I got her to elaborate more later but those were the three things that stuck out to her. 2- My 2 week wait is over! My son and I went to the outpatient lab first thing this morning for the BETA bloodtest. It was just a simple blood draw and we didn't have to wait long. Before I left I asked when I should expect my clinic to get the results and they said within this hour, this was at 9am. So I wait all day, my IM and I are texting each other, no results. Finally we both can't take it anymore and we call the clinic and the nurse ends us having to call the hospital. They did this to us the last time I had to get blood work done. They said they didn't have a release form even though our nurse sent it like 10 times! Anyway, after some back and forth they finally gave her the results. 344!!! That is a good healthy number and it means we are PREGNANT!!! I am so happy for my IPs! This has been a long journey and I am so happy my body and their embryos decided to work together to make this miracle happen. It makes everything we have been through, all the shots, the traveling, the waiting, all worth it. The nurse ended up telling my IM which kind of upset me because I wanted to be the one to give her the good news. I had planned to have flowers sent to her work with the BETA number on the card but that went out the window when the hospital took so long to give us the results. But I still would have liked to have been the one to tell her. But in the long run all that matters is that it was good news so I can't be too upset. Now I go back on Thursday for the second BETA to make sure the numbers are rising like they should and then in two week we will have the ultrasound to confirm heartbeat. With every step we take the stakes get higher and higher. It is such a relief to get each thing done but now with each milestone it is literally life and death. Either the beta will go up or the pregnancy is in trouble. Either the heartbeat shows up or it is over. It is such high stakes. Sorry I don't want to end on a down note. I am very excited and happy and I will continue to trust my body to take care of this baby and that we will have all good news for the rest of this pregnancy! Its so exciting to think I am pregnant. Just one more thing, after I talked to my IM I called Eliza into the room. I told her that we got good news and that the baby they put in my tummy is doing good and decided to stay and grow. She gave me a big hug and a big kiss and said Mommy I am so proud of you and happy for the baby in your belly. It just melted my heart. She is the sweetest little girl. I am so lucky to be able to help another couple to have a little person in their life that will say things like that to them.
