2nd Beta

Dearest Munchkin,
I just got off the phone with Nurse Heather, who gave me more good news. Your beta score has gone up to a whopping 330! I feel so blessed. This is a definite sign that things are progressing as they should be. And if you believe the Beta Base, it looks like there could be two of you! But right now, I am not really too concerned about it. Plus it's already in God's plan, so I can't change it anyway. Beta scores can be really subjective and as long as they are rising, that's good enough for me. Your Daddy and I will take whatever comes our way.
Nurse Heather and I got to discuss what will happen next in Munchkin world. Since it was kind of struggle for us to start our family, we will get a sneak peek ultrasound after six weeks. This Saint Patrick's Day (March 17th) we will get our first glimpse of you. Our Munchkin. Everything that I have read, tells me that your heartbeat will be good and strong by that point. I am sure it will be music to my ears. I have a feeling that this ultrasound will make things very real for your Daddy and I, as we will finally be able to see you and hear you. As excited as we are, we still worry about being good parents and the responsibility of raising you. Our dream is to help you grow into a wonderful mature person with good values. No pressure, right?
After the ultrasound comes the Health Education Appointment on March 31st. I think this has a lot to with how we are going to pay for you! This appointment isn't with a doctor, just someone "in charge" of this at the doctor's office. No worries, Munchkin, your Daddy and I have thought ahead and took advantage of a pre-tax flexible spending plan. It's looking like that's going to come in real handy next month.
Then in the first week of April, we will have our 10 week doctor visit. This will probably be a pretty big work up and the first time your Dad and I will get to really chat with the doctor. As I am sure you will figure out, your Mother (me) will have lots of questions and this appointment will set our minds at ease. After that, we will probably begin telling people about you. I can't wait for that to happen! It seems so far away now, but it will be here before we know it.
All my love,
Mom
