We just saw our tiny little blob-like spider baby hanging out on its fetal pole with its yolk sack hanging down and its little fluttering heart. It was absolutely beautiful. It was amazing. I've really never seen anything like it. I couldn't believe it.
The baby is measuring at about 6w4d which is close enough to 6w6d that all is good. The heartbeat was 112 which I think is good for this early on. We are released to the OB!
And, my DH? He's seeming a lot more postive. He told me he was going from optimistically pessimistic to optimistic. LOL. Not sure what that means, but we spent the whole ride home from the RE's office letting ourselves make plans for a while.
Thank you all so much for your comments on yesterday's post and your incredible support. I think I just needed to get it all out. I'm feeling better and I think it really helps that my DH is feeling better. I think we've decided that I'm going to tell my mother this weekend (because she knew we were about to start ivf) but we won't tell my DH's parents for a while. I know that, on the small chance that anything happens, I'd tell my mother, so I'd rather she got the happy news first. I asked him if he minded that my parents know when his don't and he doesn't.
My "official" EDD is 01/07/11.
One of the craziest parts of the day? Not having to pay for the u/s because it was an OB appointment and FINALLY covered by insurance!
Yay, Rebecca! I am so excited and happy for you!!!
