Beta # 2 is in!!!!! Drum roll please..........

Are you ready for this?

Beta # 2 is 533!!!!

 I was expecting 460 at the most and was blown away by 533:) At this rate we could be looking at our first ultrasound scan next week:) Wooooo hooooo!

 I was dreading this day because with my first pregnancy she didn't double until the 3rd beta. Then with my last pregnancy it didn't double at all and I lost the pregnancy. We have made it!!! I am so relieved and finally feel like I can relax and enjoy this pregnancy! Its crazy that I am getting so many symptoms so early like feeling nauseous and having heartburn, but as I told a girlfriend I welcome these symptoms with open arms:)

Beta # 3 is Wednesday:)
