Beta results!!!

yep!!! for a nice first beta of 158. DH is thrilled and I am feeling weird - more scared and anxious than anything. With the triplets - I was on top of the world, now I "know" better that there is a very long road ahead but for today, I have passed the first hurdle.

I am praying there is more good news in the upcoming days, weeks and months from everyone here to share.

Thank you lovely ladies for your wishes, prayers and thought!

Love Rachel
