Today was the big day. Our pregnancy test was a definite positive and we had to call the hospital to confirm our HCG levels. It felt like forever till we finally spoke to nurse Jenny. Our HCG levels were 728 on Tuesday the 3rd. From what we seem to understand, this is nice and high. Excellent for pregnancy.

“* At 18 DPO, the average HCG level is 292 mIU/ml, with a typical range of 70-758 mIU/ml”

So apparently, we stand a good chance of twins! Yippee.

Today we became parents beyond any doubt we may have had. :-) We could start hoping in a full term pregnancy. We are so excited and over joyed. We even went to Mothercare and bought our first baby booties. Naturally, we bought two pairs. One for Faith and one for Hope. They are so cute with a teddy bear design on the little white booties.
