Not Surprised

Today was my beta. I tested yesterday and it was negative so I wasn't surprised when I received the call. 

When I went in this morning I didn't share my negativity. The receptionist was so positive and wished me good luck. I smiled back. Then the nurse commented on my D.O.B and the fact that my birthday is tomorrow. She said that a positive would be such a great birthday present. I just agreed. 

When she called later she sounded so disappointed. I could tell by the tone when she said hello that she was dreading the call. I think she sounded more upset than me. 

I'm fine with the results. Sure a positive would have been amazing, but I'm not going to feel too bad about things. My birthday is tomorrow so I'm going to put it behind me and focus on the now.

  1. Liz,

    I am so sorry. You are so strong girl. I can't believe you kept your chin up all of today for everyone. I would have let it all go. I am proud of you. Your perseverance is inspiring. I love the little mantra you posted here, it is perfect for your day tomorrow.

    I hope you enjoy a lot of birthday wine and cake. A Friday birthday, whoo hoo! Happy early Birthday lady!

  2. I'm so so sorry. I was truly crossing my fingers for and have been thinking of you the last couple days. Try to enjoy your birthday as best you can...and drink some wine. Hell you should have a bottle each. His and hers.. My husband and I did that once when we got sad news...we order his and her carafes of margaritas...need less to say we took a cab home, but it felt good to unwind and laugh a little. Thinking of you!

  7. Oh crap. I'm sorry dear. I wish we were celebrating two things instead of one and I can imagine that this would have been the hardest thing to manage right now. I am so impressed and proud of your attitude. Your outlook is inspirational.
