The New Year

As someone who has been in academia, in some way, for 30 out of my 36 yrs, I always feel like a new year starts in September.

This year, that feeling is more pronounced.

Today is a day of changes.

1. My brother left for Guatemala at 5am(Mr. S drove him to airport, so I got to sleep, sweet man.)
2. I start school-teaching, that is. Felt woozy and shaky all throughout class. Probably just looked nervous.
3. No more pool, yesterday was our last day. I have to start cooking at home again!
4. My cell-phone, which was hit by a wave 10 days ago, and was working fine, has now decided life is over- all I get is a fuzzy-poltergeist-TV screen.
and, the doozy...
5. I got my 2nd beta hcg results. To put things in perspective, I expected the number to be around 1300, which would be a respectable 2 day doubling, from Friday's 311.
Nope, it is at 2786. I had to listen to the nurse's message again, because I busted out laughing when I heard the number.

We are quite pregnant! It is possible there are twins. We find out, one way, or another, next week at my very first not-looking-for-eggs/etc ultrasound. I will be happy either way( I will not, however, be excited about the triplets one of my bb buddies suggested the number suggested)... What a relief to have a good beta!

Yippee!!!!

Now, let's add a chart to make it more school-like.

so, it could be a singleton, but might not be...
