Made it through another beta

Beta results are in: 975. Although I'm happy it's rising, it's are rising slower than I'd like. RE isn't concerned and said I'm within normal limits so I'm going to have to trust him and hope my little bean keeps growing! I'm going to really need to learn some better coping skills on the waiting time though. The morning and early afternoon dragged sooooo slowly as I sat at my desk waiting for the call. I couldn't distract myself with work even though I desperately tried. My next appt is a week from today for another blood test to confirm my numbers are still rising. Hoping they do an u/s then too; I called them back to ask and am waiting to hear from them. For now, I'm going to try very very hard to relax and enjoy the fact that I'm pregnant and hope this time next week I still am! It's just so tough being in a double high-risk category between IVF and my age. And speaking of, I need to vent for a quick second here: my co-worker who told me she is pregnant last week told the rest of the office today so while I've been sitting here anxiously awaiting the call from RE and trying to calm my fears, I've been listening to how it didn't take long to conceive, how she is "so old" at 36 and sucks to be high-risk, etc. etc. the list of baby talk goes on and on but I think you all get the idea ;)
Anyway, I'd appreciate any prayers and positive vibes to get me through to next week! You've all been the most amazing support and I can't thank you enough!!! Thinking of you all and sending you peace and love along this journey. xoxo
