5w4d...It's Starting...Maybe

The past few days, generally in the mornings and evenings, I feel sort-of nauseous, but it's so mild that I wonder if I am making things up. Then, today I woke up feeling that way again and when my dd pushed the uneaten portion of her breakfast aside, I had to ask her if I could throw it away because the smell was making me...nauseous! Throughout the day I haven't been able to shake the nausea, and although it's mild, I think maybe it's happening. Then again, this is only one day and I don't know what tomorrow will be like. But I've earned the right to enjoy being nauseous, so hooray for nausea!

Tomorrow I have another beta at the clinic.  I am looking for a number of at least 7500 if the HCG has continued to double every 48 hours.  After knowing the first test would be a success, these repeat tests are a bit stressful!  And...hopefully, hopefully, hopefully they will schedule my first ultrasound and here's to hoping it will be before Memorial Day, not after.  S teases me in saying that is only a 4 day difference, but from my perspective, 4 days is a lot!

We've told the family members who helped us pay for IVF now - we decided it was kind of their right to know.  But they are sworn to secrecy until July.  The other recent development was visiting a friend at the other local hospital recently.  I heard it was much nicer, but in the end, it was old and a little shabby.  I'll have to do some more discovering before I decide which hospital to deliver at.  Ah, that is so crazy to say!
