2nd beta wait

I'm in the 2bw (is there such an abbreviation?) and it's turning out to be hard. Not as long as the 2ww obviously, but from Friday to Monday to hear if my beta has more than doubled has been a bit trying. Have also been dealing with the aftereffects of not sleeping well Friday night, spending all day packing up half our house yesterday and some weird stomach issues. As in, I wasn't hungry all day yesterday and was very burpy. It can't possibly be pregnancy-related stuff yet, I'm thinking, so I must have gotten a mild stomach bug. Feeling a little better today and it's not that I can't eat anything. It's just that I feel full as soon as I start - like half my food has gotten stuck in my esophagus. And that's totally not me. I'm always hungry! And feeling full has never stopped me before....lol.

And it didn't keep me from picking 3 crabs last night at dinner with my husband, parents, sister and her two boys (a belated Mother's Day dinner for my mom). My oldest nephew ate half of my crab though. (He decided he didn't like to get his hands dirty with the Old Bay so was happy for the hand-outs.)

More small bits of packing today and Mr.Right has gone to HomeDepot for about the bazillionth time as we keep slogging our way through all the little things that need to be fixed before we leave on Friday for vacation. Later: catching up on last Tuesday's Lost and watching the finale live (we always Tivo, but I've insisted on watching live tonight!)

Off to the clinic tomorrow morning for bloodwork before an 8 a.m. phone conference for my consulting gig. I'm sure the wait for the call with the hcg number tomorrow afternoon will be sheer torture. What's the worst that can happen, though? It won't have doubled, or maybe even have dropped perhaps indicating that this won't be viable (or ectopic, which would be bad, but survivable). But, at least we know we were able to get an egg fertilized on this first IUI after my lap. And we'll try again if this one doesn't work. There's got to be a good egg in there somewhere!!

p.s. thanks to all of you for the congrats in my comments. I'm excited that I've finally had something positive to share!
