Cautiously waving hello!

[elsiemae]

Hi ladies! I'm ElsieMae. My due date is March 2nd.

I got my first squinter of a BFP on June 20th. I have a history of losses, so I ended up getting my first HCG level ran on the 23rd, and it was 24. My second HCG was on the 26th, and it was only 43 (doubling time or 84 hours:/). My doctor was hopeful that we just caught the pregnancy early, but I wasn't feeling that hopeful. She said to wait a week and we would rerun the test to see where my levels were. My most recent HCG levels were ran on the 3rd, and they were 642 with a 42 hour doubling time! 

I'm still really anxious. And I ended up having a bit of spotting yesterday. But I'm feeling more positive about this pregnancy than I have for the past two weeks. I've got my first ultrasound scheduled for July 18th. So hopefully I can keep my PgaL brain calm until then.

A little more history about me. DH and I recently relocated from Indiana to Minnesota about 2 1/2 years ago. We have a 6 year old DD and a 4 year old DS. I had a natural miscarriage in between my DD and DS. And I had a MMC in November 2014. 

Looking forward to getting to know all of you

i guess i should have said we are moving back to mn.  both my husband and i were born and raised in the twin cities but have spent the last five years in southeast mi and western ny for his job.  we are currently in the process of buying a house in st. paul and can't wait to be back near family and friends.  i'm so glad you like it there!

Good luck with house hunting! There are a lot of good things on the market right now. We just bought our house last November, and I still snoop on Realtor and Zillow. And I keep seeing houses that make me wish that we waited to buy in the spring/summer!
