I won the jackpot

I must have done something right in one of my past lives. We found out yesterday that we're having a boy!

Of course we would have been delighted with another girl. Heck, my sister and I are BFFs and I would love for Audrey to have someone like that in her life. And reusing her fabulous wardrobe would certainly have saved us a small fortune :-P

But a boy. One of each. Sigh.

*Everything was perfect on the sonogram. He's measuring exactly as he should at this point. Heartbeat was around 135 bpm. Love.

Drumroll please

We're having one baby.

One perfectly measuring (5w6d) beautiful little blob of a baby. My heart has melted beyond recognition.

We'll go back again next week for a follow up and hopefully see that tiny little heart beat but for now seeing our (one) little blob was enough.

In 21 Hours

In 21 hours I will be wanded at my REs office. I will officially be 5w5d and I'm so, so hopeful that we'll see the beginnings of our baby and everything will look perfect! I'm not sure if I will be able to sleep tonight I'm so excited. (Who am I kidding? I'm not sure if I'll be able to stay awake long enough to watch The Bachelor in the central time zone. I have no touble sleeping these days.)

I'm hoping and praying that we don't have a litter of babies in there. My beta was fairly low but everytime I mention that someone is delighted to laugh at me and share their "normal" beta numbers and point out their multiples. We'll see (hopefully!)

Happy Monday

My new favorite number: 474

Got our 2nd beta today. Our first was done on Thursday and was 73. Today it's 474 - I'm beyond happy.

The first sonogram will be on 5/29 at 8:30 AM (I'm mostly writing that so I don't forget). I'm hoping that will be the point with it soaks in. Right now things are a bit surreal.

Holy cow.
