Longest Wait EVER!!!!

I had my blood test this morning before taking Scarlett to the pediatrician.  We arrived about thirty minutes early for the doctor, so I took Scarlett into the nearby Early Years Centre for her to play for a bit in the toddler program.  I was so glad we at least got to do an activity together while we were both off today.

My nurse told me she would call me around 1:30 with my results.  I got through my morning fairly easy.  It was super busy between Scarlett's play group session, the doctor, making her lunch and working on report cards.  But while I was working on reports I started noticing the clock.  It was 1:30, then 1:40, 1:45, 2:00, by 2:35 there was still no call and I knew the office was closing soon.  I phoned my nurse and left a message.  There was no reply.

I was ANGRY....I was mad that I didn't just POAS this morning and had to sit around waiting all day for a phone call to tell me what I thought I already knew.  At 3:00 I started calling the clinics, but they all had the same machine message saying they were closed until tomorrow at 7am.  There was no option to leave a message for a nurse.  I tried random extensions trying to reach my other nurse at the W. location.  Finally, around 3:30 I remembered her extension and left a message just saying my name and that I had a Beta test today and I wasn't called with the results.  I was hoping she would call me in the morning to give me the results.  The clinic I went to today isn't open on Thursdays so that was making me even angrier.

At 3:45 my phone rang and it was the W. location - I thought it was my other nurse calling, but it was the nurse from the R. location calling.  I asked her why she was calling me from W.  She explained she was there for a meeting and she was so sorry for getting back to me so late.  Her meeting went on very long.  I think my W. nurse got the message and told the R. nurse to phone me.  It was more than 2 hours after she had said she would phone.

Ladies out there, how would you feel waiting for a Beta that long?  Don't I pay good money for all of these services?  LOL.

She confirmed my suspicions were CORRECT!  I'm pregnant.

BFP!!!!  Can you imagine if I changed my mind at the last minute and transferred two again?

My 8dpt beta number is 54.5.  It seems low, but it's really early.  I test again on Friday and hope that my numbers double.

I just looked at a calendar and tried to pin point a due date - approximately, of course as I don't really know when to start counting from.  But it looks like 40 weeks is a Valentine's Day Baby!  Although, Scarlett was a scheduled C early, which means baby and I could actually end up sharing a birthday in January.  Three winter birthdays!

Now to keep it a secret until almost the end of summer.  I'm not sure what I'll do about going on swimming playdates - it's a little hard to go swimming with oily progesterone suppositories leaking from your crotch :)  Sorry, was that TMI?

Time to get my report cards finished and into bed.  I'm exhausted!
