The best voicemail EVER

So Tuesday rolls around and I am on my way to the lab to get my blood drawn to see if my embie babies stuck around. I had quite a meltdown on the way there. I just wanted to know if I was going to have the best day or the worst day. Right after I got home we left for Erie, PA. We wanted to take C to Waldmaeer Park to go on rides because that is all he has been talking about all summer. Unbeknownst to me, Waldameer did not open until noon. So we decided to check out Presque Isle Beach until the park opened. We got to the beach around 11:15 AM. Earlier that morning I joked around saying "Wouldn't it be funny if I didn't have any cell phone service in Erie?"
Well... needless to say as I was sitting on the sand looking at lake Erie, clenching and staring at my phone like I was doing all morning and I hear my phone beep. I look down and see new voicemail. I MISSED THE CALL. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Turns out I didn't have good reception on Presque Isle beach. So I dial my voice mail, put it on speaker phone and with Scott by my side we hear the nurse say the words we most desperately wanted to hear. It is positive. We lost it. We hugged and cried and were in complete shock. I'm glad I missed the call. Scott and I were able to hear the news together and had a few minutes to ourselves to celebrate and Thank God.
I called nurse back few minutes later and she told me they were looking for an HCG count of at least 50. Mine was 329 and they are very happy with that number. I immediately asked if this is an indication of multiples. She says it could be but really no way to tell except with an ultrasound. We go over some more things and she says go back to same lab on Thursday to get repeat blood work- she will call me with Thursday's numbers and schedule the ultrasound for 2 to 2.5 weeks later.
After I got off the phone Carter asked me from the back seat of the car "What did they say Mommy?" I just looked at him and said "They said there's a baby in there." He smiled the biggest smile and said "There is???" I said "yes" he said "Yea, there's a baby in there!"
We made our calls to our family and friends who were waiting for the answer and for the rest of the day I watched Carter and Scott go on rides while I sat and hydrated. It was an amazing day.
Thursday I went back for repeat blood work and my HCG of 329 doubled to 671. That is what we wanted it to do! 1st ultrasound will either be on Friday Sept 5th or Saturday Sept. 6th. I am still in shock. I still don't believe it. I really just want to see the heartbeat(s).


What a journey!!! That's all I can say....
