Oh hay there little bubbies, nice to see you. We had an ultrasound today at 15 weeks just to check-in. There is nothing wrong, and I haven't had any bad symptoms, just a check-in. Even though you see it, and you get t0 take home a photo, I always forget- oh my god there is a person in there! I don't feel it, I just look chubbier, lol.
Mike came with me today. We got to see the little worm move all around measuring right on track and a whopping 9cm! Isn't that wild it looks like a human and its 9cm? crazy. We also heard the heartbeat for the first time and that was incredible. Each ultrasound is a combination of shear amazement, crying and laughing.
I feel good in general. The nausea is starting to be a bother again. I gag at EVERYTHING. Even brushing my teeth is a daily challenge lol. But it's all manageable.
I still get love and support pouring in over Facebook or in person. I really cant explain how much it warms my soul to know people care, took the time to read or can relate. I will continue to blog, continue to tackle topics and answer questions. I want to really get across that our story was a one of a kind. We really won the IVF lottery with a successful pregnancy on our first try. I really even still, think, is this real? is this happening? did we get this lucky? We just rolled the dice and came up winners. I still worry a little each day but as time passes, it passes. I dream about the day the baby is here, our future embryo and if we will do IVF again. But it feels so amazing to know that maybe by sharing I have given someone the courage or faith to try. And not to be cheesy but that's pretty damn close to feeling the same way I do about being pregnant. It's incredible. So thank-you.
We will be finding out the sex for sure ( I am way too impatient ). We see our OB in two weeks so we will know the date of the ultrasound then! the votes for boy have been pouring in, when they have dominantly been girl. So we will see. I feel everyone had boys lately so a girl would be cool but obviously a little boy is so awesome so we are happy either way.
Before I go, a penny for your thoughts. It's been brought up by mike's dad and we NEVER thought about this. Does this mean our frozen embryo is a twin? It was conceived at the same time. It would obviously be fraternal but for example if two eggs came down and were fertilized, those would be twins. So is this frozen one.....a TWIN?
Trippy.
