OB/GYN Time!

I had my last ultrasound at the fertility clinic!! Yea! Baby is doing great. Over 150 heart beats per minute, and looking quite larger than the first time we saw him/her.

Now I get to see an OB in Milwaukee, which is wonderful not to have to drive so far for appointments. Although now the IP's need to drive farther :(

I go in two weeks to meet the OB. And then one week after that I go for the CVS, genetic testing. We need to make sure that the baby is not Mike and I's baby ---duh!! So then everything with the legal issues can hopefully go further!!!

I am excited to meet the OB. . . . so now I have to play a short waiting game again.

My due date is 5/13/11, which I just found out today is the Intended Mother's Mother's (does that make sense??) birthday. Her mother passed away when she was younger, I don't know much else, but is seems as though that is a special thing for her. Although most people don't deliver on their due date, I hope I do, if that would be what the IM would want!! How special.

SIDE NOTE: My sister, Morgan was born on my Paternal Great Granfathers Birthday and Olivia was born on my Paternal Great Granmothers Birthday. STRANGE!

Tiny Tiny Baby

Ultrasound today revealed one tiny, tiny six week old baby! Really it was a small cluster of cells with a heart beat, but it was sooooo exciting!

I was so happy for F&D. . . . they (or at least the father) seemed relieved it wasn't twins!! haha So was I. WHOOSH--brow wipe!

It was great to have them there. Hopefully we can figure out all this legal hubbub next week and really start being 100% joyous of this life!!!!

They also found a small blood vessel filled with blood lying right along with the embryo. The U/S tech explained that it is VERY common, about 85% of women have it. She said to expect some light bleeding/discharge in a few days and it should be gone by the time I have the next U/S.

But for now I get to stop taking teh progesterone--woohoo. That is the shot in the butt----not fun! I thought I was going to have to take inuntil 10 weeks, so this is awesome news! I also get to stop taking the baby aspirin, which is not a pleasant thing to chew--GROSS!

So, all in all a great day!! EXCITING!!

+!

Well after an emotional and drama filled two weeks --- we finally got the pregnancy test results---POSITIVE!! Yeah!

I am so excited! F&D are excited! D told me to make it a girl! Ha!

I go back tomorrow for another blood draw (routine). And then we'll see what happens! I am so excited!

I have told Olivia a few times about it -- mostly telling her to be careful of my tummy when she is jumping around. She is so cute -- all she says is "Can I hold it"
Now for teh hard part of explaining to a three year old that this is not our baby. HAHA
I am not too worried - she'll get it. She is a smart girl!

YEAH FOR BABIES!
