The Best Election Day EVER!!!

Beta: 476!!!!

We got the call a little over an hour ago. Thank God we didn't have to wait too long. This morning, the guy taking my blood said it would be between 1 and 4 and they called at 1:10.

I wasn't exactly where I wanted to be when I found out the news. The weather and the traffic in Seattle today just sucks. It took me about 50 or so minutes to get from Issaquah over to UW to pick up my husband. Way too long. And I was HUNGRY, so I decided to go to a fast food place (McDonald's - I remembered today why I think McDonald's is gross) so we could get home as soon as possible. As soon as I drive into the McDonald's parking lot near our house, my cell phone rings (well, it plays "How to Save a Life" by The Fray). I quickly get into a parking spot and the butterflies in my stomach are fluttering madly. I answer the phone and one of the women from my clinic asked me how I was. I said fine. I swear it felt like forever before she told me the great news. She began to tell me that they wanted the beta over 50 and I said "and what is my beta?" Mine was at 476!!! Holy cow!

This morning felt it took forever. It took forever to get from the clinic to my office, then it took forever for the time to come for me to go get my husband. The wait was definitely worth it.

Also, my husband has been meaning to write a post about his feelings on our infertility...if you would like to read it, please go here. He wrote this early this morning before finding out the great news.
