3D Alien Baby!

So we went for our first trimester screening at the hospital today. The doctor quickly figured out we are still measuring 3 days behind and we were just a few days early to do the testing. But the doctor was so awesome and let us peek around for about 30 minutes and we got some great shots. We still have a really strong HB at 162...Girl maybe? So we have to go back in another 10 days to do the actual genetic testing. But for today we got to hear the heartbeat for the first time. Music to our ears. It was so awesome. So I just wanted to share my favorite picture from today. "Our little Alien Baby"

We Graduated!

I had my last appointment with the RE today. We got to see the little bean again. I am measuring to date and we have a really strong heartbeat at 167! He says everything looks good, and I have been officially releaased.

I also went to see my OB today for my first pre-natal appoinment. Tons of bloodwork and lots of medical questions. No biggie. We go back in 4 weeks. This is the bitter sweet part. Being with the RE at only 9 weeks we already had 4 ultrasounds. But I am so thankful we got here and have been so blessed!

We have a heartbeat!

We had our ultrasound today at exactly 7 weeks. We got to see a beautiful little heartbeat on the screen. It was so amazing to see that little flicker on the screen. It was such a relief and such a weight off our shoulders. I had been so worried since I still feel really good. I have only been really tired. But, I haven't felt very sick. A few dry heaving episodes, but nothing else.

The heartbeat was 125 which I was told is normal. RE says I am measuring 3 days behind which is normal and expected since my HCG betas got off to a really slow start. We go back again in 2 weeks. If everything looks good, I graduate to my regular OB. I never thought I would be happy to see my OB!

Leaving the RE is actually going to be bitter sweet. I know we won't get the same individual attention that we get at our RE. Not to mention, we won't get so many ultrasounds at the OB. But we are so thankful that we have been blessed.

So everything is going well. Please keep us in your prayers.
