Uncharted Territory August 8, 2005

I apologize for not being able to post yesterday. I’ll explain why in a second. On to the important news, though.

Beta #2 was 282 yesterday, so it more than doubled from my 124 on Friday. I was definitely relieved to learn that news. I actually got the call while we were making the trip over here. I am now officially done with betas.

This weekend has been insane. I really do not like moving. We’re slowly but surely making progress, though. Our kitties are also adjusting well. They really didn’t have a good time on the drive over but seem to have forgiven us already.

Ok, so onto why I couldn’t post yesterday. We were actually headed out the door to go to a coffee shop with wireless access when my husband started having trouble with his key. He couldn’t get the door to lock. In fact, he got the darn thing stuck in there for a little while.

He turned to me and asked where my key was so we could just use it. I had no freaking idea. I had absolutely no memory of taking the new keys in the first place, and I certainly didn’t have any idea where I had put them when we got here. I mean, I was drawing a total and complete blank. My husband tried to get his key to work while I went through all of the boxes and bags I could get to. No luck with either. Since we couldn’t lock the door, we couldn’t leave.

Today I found the freaking keys in the bathroom. No one thought to look in the bathroom, but there they were. I still don’t remember putting them there, but I must have. We brought the cats into the bathroom first thing after we got here, so I must have set them down then.

It’s all fine now, though. We have actual internet connection at home. Yay!

I really haven’t had time to process this whole positive beta situation. I guess that’s probably a good thing. I’d be obsessing about it, I’m sure. I’ve never made it to a doubling beta, so this is all very new to me. Who knows what’s going to happen from here on out. It’s a good thing I’ve got distractions right now. There’s no telling what would be going through my head otherwise.

Here’s to doubling betas and distractions!

And with regard to the keys? Sounds like you’ve got a good case of pregnancy brain going on too :-) Enjoy…I found those brain farts kind of comical–and now all too common.

20. kiwi - August 8, 2005

Yay yay yay!

21. cass - August 8, 2005

Congrats on the doubling. And on surviving the move. And on doing both on the same day.

22. Leggy - August 9, 2005

Congrats. Boy, you have a lot going on. But I think you are right, it keeps your mind occupied.

So, no more betas? What are next steps? (My clinic works differently, so I’m confused.)

I need to know when I can expect updates (this is all about me you know), so do let us know what to expect re: when’s the first ultrasound, OB appointment, etc, etc. Otherwise, I’ll have to worry. :)

23. Jennifer - August 9, 2005

Yeah!!! Doulbing!! Also, good luck with getting settled into the new house.

24. PJ - August 9, 2005

Congratulations Amanda. I’m glad you have the distraction of unpacking.
