The Phone Call

Written February 12, 2011:

So, I walked around the house all day on Friday (2/11/11) getting more and more anxious by the minute waiting for the call from my midwives office to (hopefully, fingers-crossed) hear that my numbers were going up.

At 2:30 there was still no word and I decided to call.  I searched my purse for my cell phone to get the office number.  And what to my wondering eyes did appear?  (No, not Santa, his sleigh, and his eight tiny reindeer, although that would make for quite a story!) I had a missed call and a message from....you guessed it: my midwives office.  They NEVER call my cell phone, well except for this time obviously!

The voice mail was reassuring, but not super informative.  It basically said that my numbers looked good and that they had gone up, but that it was still very early in this pregnancy.  I had been prepping my mind all day to hear the actual numbers associated with the hCG and progesterone, but none of this information was left for me.  So, I tried to call the office, but to no avail.  They must have left early because there were no appointments (or maybe they had a lot of patients going to L&D today, who knows?!).  But the result is that, while I didn't get the specific numbers I was looking for, I did at least get a bit of reassuring news and that should last me through the weekend.  I'll call on Monday to make my first appointment and maybe even request those numbers for curiosity's sake.
