Well - the next lab numbers are in. For the ladies - the hcg numbers went from 32 to 500 in seven days - that is a doubling time of a day and a half. Things look great! I feel really good - don't really feel pregnant. I never do until closer to eight weeks or so and I'm only 5 1/2 now.
H and I went on a date Friday night. We had a nice time and H initiated sex that night and we had a really good time. While we were out he was just looking for a little reassurance first though. He said, "Tell me again why sex in early pregnancy is ok." I reminded him that the "baby" is the size of an apple seed and happily burrowed in to the protective lining of the uterus. Even the most racous sex would only cause a pleasant rocking motion inside the uterus. That explanation was apparently good enough. H actually seems to look forward to the pregnant curves - the idea that it is "his baby" and "his pregnant wife" seems to give him license that he doesn't otherwise feel.
It is nice to have things on such an even keel. I have to echo HP's comment about not really knowing what it is to have your jar of sexual needs full. I am very confident that I am not that terribly demanding so I guess I'll just have to keep working on things until they come a little closer to what I am hoping for.
