Lola, I am very excited for you! I think your symptoms sound very promising!
WP--cool story about your friend!
For me, I feel a lot better today. My initial beta yesterday was 571 so we will see how it looks on Friday. For any symptoms watchers, my boobs were super sore (that never happens to me) and I was pissed off for two weeks, lol! Seriously I was uber bitch America, every little thing made me mad and my mom and my friend both said, hormones! It's funny because with dd my first symptoms were crazy dreams and I would cry over happy things in movies, that never used to happen to me. I did cry last weekend over a kid's essay about his great grandma but that kind of thing has happened to me more often since dd so I didn't think too much of it. Oh, and this time we went out to eat this twice weekend and the food just didn't taste right. It was places I like, orders I'd had before, and it happened twice so I was pretty sure something was going on but I didn't want to say it for sure.
I had this superstition that I wouldn't test until today (9/1) because I know three people with birthdays today and they're all boys. And DH was like, just test now (when I was having cramps) and I was like but I only know girls with birthdays today! lol So I looked up famous birthdays for 8/31 and it was like all boys so I felt better. But I think I would really be happy with either gender, I really wanted one dd and I got her so it's all good. DH says we are having two kids no matter what because he doesn't want more so I'm like, well I better try to enjoy this pregnancy then. I just hope I continue to get good news. I wanted to kind of keep it secret but I had to leave work yesterday unexpectedly for a blood draw and then I came back with this huge things on my arm. Seriously, if my family ever loses our home in a flood we could use that bandage for a temporary shelter. Frigging ridiculous. So EVERYBODY was asking and I suck at lying. I might as well have had a t-shirt that said "knocked up." Oh well, yes it's more people who know if things go wrong but it's also more people who can think happy thoughts and pray for us now.
