Hope....again...still

There is a horrible movie called, 'The Family Stone', really, I am not recommending it. The main character is played by Diane Keaton. Her son brings his new girlfriend home and nobody likes her (Sarah Jessica Parker). It is a Christmas movie, and Sarah Jessica gives the mother and all the family members blowup pictures of this black and white shot of Diane Keaton pregnant. I included a link below if you want to see it. In this great shot Diane Keaton looks at the daughter she was pregnant with in the picture and says, 'That's you and me'. It's a great part. There is something about that part that really is endearing. As the viewer you get this moment of a true bond. As a child you may never remember being inside your mom, but as a mom, it is the beginning. She knew you before you knew you. You were a team and you couldn't have done anything without her...literally.


I went for blood work at 7:30 am, my nurse called at 2:00 with the number 87.2...now that's a better number. I go back on Thursday and she said at that point i will get my ultrasound date. I asked her if I could stop worrying now and she said, We want to see that number grow by 50-60%, so this is positive news. These 3 weeks are the scariest for any pregnancy, not just people here. We want to get to the third ultrasound and see that heartbeat.

Forward thinking is good, but I keep wondering when I can get happy about this. Today I thought I would be excited when we reached this milestone, but then I just started worrying about the next number. I think this could be par for the course, until I see the heartbeat OR until my baby graduates college. Keeping positive for now, or trying to.

My hope for today...more tripling numbers please. Baby, it's you and me now.
