The OWL Exam

I'm bursting with pride: Ron passed his OWL exam! Those of you who have read the series, know that Ron is not the brightest of the bunch--he's usually begging Hermione for help. But guess, what? He did it all on his own this time.

His test score (a.k.a. my beta results): 539

I was coaching him to get at least a 280--really essential for a viable embryo at 19 dpo. So when I heard "Everything looks great!" I was expecting right around the 280-290 ballpark. Ron, honey: you hit a home run. Thank the Lord! With the number we got, that's a doubling time of 1.51 days.

I am well aware how precious each day is. We have a ways to go yet, but I promised myself (and Mook) if we got good results today, that I would REST from worry until our next step: 1st ultrasound will be July 14th.

You all humble me with the comments and e-mails you have sent our way; I won't ever be able to thank you enough. Please know that each thought, prayer and good vibe means the world to us. You have calmed me in my shakiest moments, and brought light out in the dark.

::thank you::
