I go back for bloodwork twelve days later. Chris and I meet so we are together for the phone call from Nurse Brigette We are waiting in his lobby literally staring at the phone in my hand. It is like counting down to the New Year! I check the ringer is on and UP all the way. Battery is nice and strong. We just sit and wait and look. Then, my voicemail icon pops up. What the!?!?!?!?! It went straight to voicemail! Grrr (turns out I had inadvertently set my phone to do not disturb)! Anyway, we play the message. They give HCG levels in this call and you are looking for some significant figures. Figures widely and wildly vary between women so I know low numbers "don't necessarily" mean it didn't take and that high numbers "don't necessarily" mean it took. We play the message: Beta is (drumroll) 515! We hug we kiss we cry!

I go back for bloodwork two days later which happens to be our 15 year wedding anniversary. We get the call as we are sitting on our favorite bench at Longwood Gardens. Nurse Brigette again. Beta is now 1,005. WE. ARE. PREGNANT! Thank you God!
