So I went this morning for my 2nd blood draw & after being on pins & needles & nauseous ever since, they finally called with the results. My HCG levels went from 112 to 439 & my progesterone from 58-61.9! So they doubled every 36.5 hrs! I keep having to remind myself that just because the numbers aren't as high as with Addy, that they are doing what they are supposed to. And holy cow on the progesterone! Those numbers are much higher than Addy. Just goes to show every pregnancy is different. I wanted to do a 3rd draw, like I did with Addy, but will start taking the HCG shots every three days starting tonight. So it seemed silly to do a draw that wouldn't be 100% accurate. Instead, I have an appt for a week from today for our first sono & another draw. God it's going to be a long week. The kind of cool thing is I found out on a Fri (also 14dpiui) I was pregnant w/Addy so everything is being done at the exact same time frame as it was with her. So our first sono will be 5wks 3days. With her I only saw a yolk sac so I know what to expect & that is nice.
Outside of making myself sick with worry all day, I am doing well. Still struggle with some crazy nausea but mainly at night. Seems to hit me exactly at 7pm. But I'm loving it..lol. We have decided not to tell anyone about this pregnancy also. We have told my BFF's (who helped me w/Addy) & our Pastor back home. This way we have some prayer warriors. I don't think we will keep if from our family (or at least mine) for the whole first tri like we did with Addy. If all goes well at our 2nd sono, my mom flies in that afternoon & it would be great to tell her in person. We would hopefully see the heartbeat for the first time that day. May wait after that until about 10wks to tell the rest of the family. God I hope we make it that far! Today I've reached one milestone of many to come & I'm clinging to that.

Praise the Lord! You know what they say, sometimes hcg is lower with boys. Maybe you have a blue bun in the oven ;-) haha (oh that made me chuckle...sorry!). Cannot wait for u/s results!!
