The doctor called this morning with the result of my third hCG. It went up to 426. She said she's very pleased and everything is progressing wonderfully. So I'm happy, although I can't wait for the first ultrasound.
I spoke with my mom last night and I think I've realized why she's so afraid. She doesn't understand why I would put my life on the line for this little baby (who she doesn't even know, really) to have this surgery. I told her that I needed to take the risk, and if God forbid something were to happen...well, it would happen. She's having a hard time understanding this concept. We know the risks, they are small...and don't include danger to me really. But anything can happen. It's still a major surgery. Derick and I have talked about the risks, and it's so small that we are willing to take it in order to have children.
She also told my dad. He's worried. Typical. He always worries about us. That's what he does. We'll be fine though, I'm sure. And if not...at least we are together.
So I've just got to bite the bullet and tell my brother and sister in law. They are perhaps the most judgemental people in my life. So it's not going to be fun. Regardless of whether I tell them or my parents do, she's still going to talk about us behind our backs. That's just what she does. Just got to bite the bullet I guess.
I put a call into Dr. Davis (the TAC specialist) and hopefully he'll get back to me soon. I'm anxiously awaiting a date for a safe landing.

Everything is going to be fine. My mother has told me that you never speak what you don't want to happen....ALWAYS speak what you DO want to happen. My mother knows your story and has put you and your husband on the prayer list at church. Always remember that you can always email and vent to me....
Ditto what mother of an angel said.
Mr. H thinks like your mother. They always think the worst and don't understand why I/you would put yourself at "risk".
I don't know for sure (no one does)but I believe that everything will be okay. At least, I'm praying that it will.
Oh, and you don't have to explain yourself and your family decisions to your brother and sister. Who cares if they talk about you behind your back (that's what siblings do) you don't owe them anything. You're doing this for you, not them. They don't have to approve.
Becky-- everything will be okay-- I believe in the power of positive thinking!
I'm so happy for you and I can't believe I haven't read your blog in so long-- I'm just finding out now that you're pregnant! Congratulations, sweetie! Here's to a HAPPY & HEALTHY 9 months!
i am so happy that your numbers have gone up so much! don't worry about what other people say or think. all that matters is what you and your husband want.
i continue to pray for you and your little bean!
congratulations again!
