I can't even describe how amazing that ultrasound was. We were able to hear our baby's heartbeat and see that he/she is the size of a garbanzo bean. I started crying watching that ultrasound. It still feels like a dream, like one of those dreams where you keep hitting the snooze button on your alarm clock because you don't want to wake up. I have a feeling that the next nine months are going to be filled with moments like these that I will never want to forget.
Our little bean was measuring just where it needed to be and everything looked really good. Our doctor even told us that at this point because everything is looking so good that our risk of miscarriage is less than 10%. And then I started crying all over again hearing those words. We have officially been passed off to a regular OB and I have my first appointment in a few weeks, with our only requirement being to make sure to send a picture to our wonderful and supportive IVF doctors and nurses when our baby is born.
What a relief and great news! I think we should refer to your baby as Garbonzo or Garby for now. :) You and Zac are going to be the best parents! September is going to take forever to come.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had such a good Thanksgiving and Christmas too. That serious pic of Zac's family is hilarious. Why doesn't Zac have a beard?!
