So sorry... 242

Sorry, between my parents' visit, various home improvement projects, brain fog, and utter exhaustion, I didn't get to post this weekend. But my repeat beta on Friday came back at 242, more than double. My ultrasound is on March 2.

So far, no puking, but serious fatigue--I am a zombie from 2-6 PM and can nap at will--and serious hunger. My entire brain, the part that is still functioning, is taken up by thoughts of bacon, sausage, mushrooms, and, oddly enough, vegetable bouillon cubes.

I have a lot of thoughts and feelings, but don't quite know what to make of them yet. I've moved up my dissertation defense to late September (gulp). Terrifying. We're still moving ahead with our plans to get a farm and put our house on the market (hence the relentless home improvement schedule).

We are insane.

That's such fantastic news!

And best of luck with the home improvements - as someone who's also living with the chaos renovation brings, I can empathise with what you're going through!
