There’s this movie that is SO ridiculous and I just love it – it’s called I Spy and has Owen Wilson and Eddie Murphy in it. I think it’s a remake of an old Bill Cosby TV show from the 1970’s, but the one I know is the more recent one. Anyway, there’s a point in the movie where Eddie Murphy is trying to help Owen Wilson make some moves on this girl they work with, and during the event he gives him some suggestions via spy gear (contact lenses/ear piece/etc).  NOTE: This 4 1/2 minute clip is only semi-safe for work, as Famke Janssen is in her white underpants at one point.

Anyway, when I got the call today from the doctor’s office with the good news that my HCG levels had bumped up to 306.5 (from 128.7 on Monday), all I could think of was Owen Wilson singing Sexual Healing’s “Rising! and Rising!”

When I talked to my friend who works at TRM yesterday, she said that a 128.7 was, in fact, “really good” – that usually if the number is under 50, they get worried. She also said that they were hoping to see a 30% increase today. So, more than doubling is a great sign.

When I went to get my blood drawn this morning, all the girls were so excited for me. I guess, though, it makes sense because over there almost everyone is there because they are struggling to get pregnant – to see me walk in and have it work on the first shot probably isn’t that common. I found a thing that I’m good at! Hooray me!

Of course, IS THAT HIGH? IS IT TWINS?! Has already been asked. Uhm, let’s all just stay calm and take some good news as good news and not get too crazy, ok?
