New Beginnings

Countless people have been checking in, praying, sending good wishes and generally offering whatever help they can to make this next attempt of ours a successful one. Well so far so good because we're happy to report that R is pregnant! We received the call late last night from Drs. Sudhir and Yash - R's beta level was a smile-making 94.48 on Day 12. Anything greater than 25 is a positive result so there's no doubt about this one. (As you may remember, our beta results at this time during our first attempt was a sad 18. This is an uplifting change!) We're hoping two time's the charm without forgetting the lesson from our previous experience, that these big numbers are important but not guarantees.

Our next blood test is scheduled for tomorrow (Friday) and we'll have those results on Saturday.
