Well I just got the call from Dr Local's office. No sense putting you folks off any longer. Today's number was 156. So we're still doubling, with a current doubling time of about 59 hours but Dr Local's people are fine with that. One more beta on Monday.
I still feel the limbo thing. This is a totally different kind of anxiety. I'm not used to good news. I'm not used to this kind of anxiety. I don't have a lot of coping skills but am just staying hunkered down and not doing much of anything.
It's totally gorgeous here in the bay area today. We have actual sunshine, people. Objects even have SHADOWS. I'd forgotten how cool shadows can be.
I had a lovely session with my acupucnturist. Everyone at her office was so happy to see me. They're always nice (well, mostly) but it was great to be going back there with some good news.
Tonight the mister and I will be doing a wee bit of celebration. We're heading to our fave French bistro for dinner. We're trying to enjoy at least a bit of this good news since it's lasting longer than any other we've had before.
NBHHY!
Yay! NBHHY!
Much love from up North. Best to the Mister. I'll be checking in (obsessively) on Monday.
Kisses and have a great weekend.
