will I have any blood left when they're done?

Today was More Bloodwork Day, but I didn't mind. I'm one of those weird people who like to watch the needle go in my arm anyway. All the people at the OB's office were extremely nice and helpful, and I was so grateful for that. They went ahead and scheduled a regular appointment with me next Monday no matter what the blood work showed so we can make sure everything is okay.

They called me back this afternoon with my new HCG level and it is 882, which is a really good rise. My baby is still growing, and all is well so far. It's the first time I've felt relaxed all week.

Today is also the first day I really had what I would call nausea, though I was still a very far piece from barfing. Just an uneasy, queasy feeling I've had most of the day. I did eat lunch, though later on I wished it hadn't been leftover pizza.

HCG at 882, eh? Makes you wonder if our parents had it easier. When my mother was in your shoes (in the 60s!) there was no way of knowing, and thus she didn't have to worry how much human chorionic gonadotropin she had in her blood...

Congratulations and good luck!
