First Blood Test


I just had my first blood test to check my levels of hcg and progesterone. Hcg is what the body produces during pregnancy, and the progesterone is what creates the lining of the uterus that supports the baby. Given that I am nauseous and tired all the time (and a little cranky - poor Jeff!) I think that all is well, but I can't help but worry. As my ever-so-smart brother Josh said, when you finally get something that's really worth having, there are a lot more things to worry about! I have to have a second blood test on Wednesday to make sure that my hormone levels are doubling, so I am going to be a nervous wreck until I get the news on Thursday. I am so afraid that something will go wrong!
