Speranza ...

... that's italian for "Hope". I'm not sure if it's the noun, as in "don't give up hope," or verb as in, "I really hope I have a baby in May" I guess either situation applies. I really don't have anything new to report today as far as factual information regarding my situation. But I did read this article last night which said sometimes as a pregnancy progresses, the time for an hcg to double can increase to 4 days or more. And it was written by an MD, on WebMD, so it can't be completely bogus. And further internet searches found lots of other sources saying once the hcg is above 6,000 then it starts taking longer to double. Not to mention that everyone is just different. You can't fit a pregnancy into a perfect little pregnancy shaped box, it just doesn't work that way. So I decided not to be depressed until I get more definitive evidence that it's over. What's the point? Crying is exhausting, and I already did a lot of that last Wednesday. Not only that but it's absolutely not helping anything to be bawling my eyes all day.

So let's just wait and see what happens on Monday. 81 more hours. I can do it!

Nice. A great article to read. Good info and yes ... hopeful. Here's to not losing hope and to a fast weekend and to a good experience on Monday. Here's to not thinking in the ways of man, but remembering how awesome God is and what He can do.
