I posted a few days ago that I was having spotting and such and we were a bit concerned. Well no need anymore. My HcG level came back great as the doctor put it. I thought it was a little low so I've asked for another test which I will have done today and will find out results tomorrow. I need it for piece of mind. LOL. The doctor said everything is fine, though, and spotting is ok. I also had my progesterone levels checked and they were at a 20, I think she said and she said that was great. Got me, I'll believe her on that one, lol.

So I'm roughly 3.5 weeks along. I know I'm very early into pregnancy but Ryan and I are very very excited!!! Our edd is 4/13/05.

I'll schedule my 8 week appointment tomorrow when I call for my blood test results.

My boss won't be too happy because I'll be delivering during session, lol, but he'll get over it. The cool thing is his wife is pg due in November and we both live near each other so their baby and our baby will be in school together. LOL.

Oops, sorry. I work for a non profit organization that lobbies the Illinois legislature. When the legislators come to the capitol and *work* it is called session. They have a spring session that lasts roughly from January til May but this year it lasted til July 31. Then they have a veto session that goes from November til December.

During those times I have a ton more responsibilities and since it's just me and the Executive Director running the association then I'm needed there. It's hard to hire a temp during times like this because there are so many things I have to do. There is a lady that works in our office who runs our hotline too.

With Kylie I had her in September....*off season* so-to-speak when our office is pretty much dead. I have to do the normal payroll, HR, etc, etc, but not the legislative side of it. So it's not so bad that I'm gone then. When I was on maternity leave with Kylie I still came in every other week and did my payroll and HR responsibilites because I didn't want to teach the temp that stuff.
