Me my mo meta...
BETA!
Yes, I had my beta yesterday. I had excellent intentions of posting it for the entire Internet to see. But first I called everyone, then I had a good (happy) cry, then I made dinner and promptly fell asleep sitting up at 7:00. I think we've discussed my inability to type while sleeping - and all I can say is I'm sorry! I'm working on it! Please don't break up with me!
And now you're all: shut up bitch and post your beta number GAWD! I know, I know. I'm obnoxious.
Beta #1, 15dp3dt: 964
My reaction to this report?
Holy shit - I am with child! Woo to the Hoo!
(Actually, this picture is like 2 years old, taken at Howl at the Moon on the night that I told my BFF Jelayne that she didn't know fuck about Cleveland, then peed on the side of the road with our other friend so she didn't have to go it alone.)
(Not sure why I thought you needed to know that.)
(Don't worry, it was dark and we were hidden by a car door. Nobody saw my Lady Business.)
(I think it is now time for an abrupt subject change, no?)
So anyway, all the same things are going on with my body. I'm exhausted, I'm hungry, I have period type cramps, still really bloated and my abs feel like I did a really rough workout. I think the ab thing is a symptom of the OHSS, but other than that, I'm feeling like I would normally feel the day before my period.
I would think I was getting my period if I didn't know I was PREGNANT! HEY-OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Prometrium? I love it. I gave a more gruesome description on Redbook (click here), but I am enjoying them way more than the PIO shots.
That's about all I've got today. I am so tired that I slept in my car on my lunch break today using a bag of cotton balls for a pillow. I woke up with drool on my face and writing on my face that was stuck from the bag o'balls. That's pretty much how much energy I have for writing.
You guys are so lucky I'm contractually obligated to blog because DAYAM! if you had to miss out on this? Would be a tragedy.
One more thing: Thank you so so so much for all the comments! I'm not one for the cheese factor, but reading those comments made me a little weepy in a good way.
So thanks for all the well wishes, except that one anonymous asshat who left me a rude comment - sorry you're old and bitter.

^^^^happy pregnant dance^^^^^
FWIW - the post-workout feeling ab pain from hell was my biggest pg symptom with my son. I made them check me for an eptopic because I couldn't figure why my abs would hurt so bad!
