Music to our ears....

Big day! Thankfully there was no long moment of poking around so i will not beat around the bush. Ultrasound wand went in and  the baby was right there! My eyes went straight to the heart. It was flickering away like crazy. It was just what my mind has been envisioning this last week. Heartbeat was 165/minute. Nice and strong looking perfect. Due to the clotting Doc hasn't cleared us for sex or exercise but he said we should have nothing to worry about he just wants me to take it easy until the 1st trimester is over. 
It was very relieving to see one. We both let out a big exhale. Doc can't confirm if the 2nd sac was a twin or a clot but there is definitely only one baby. That means so much to the viability of this pregnancy.
More good news. The crinone is no longer a part of my life! I asked about it because it is so gross and the build up is ridiculous. He said he prefers the injections anyways and if I'm up for 2 shots a day then we can change the progesterone protocol immediately. Woo hoo! Starting tomorrow I'll be doing 75mg in the morning then 75mg at night. So much cleaner. 
Today was a very big day. I think we are finally allowing ourselves to be excited and say it out loud. We are 6! Chad, Jess, Pattie, Stella, Jerome and baby K!

  1. Amen Amen Amen. So thankful for a strong heartbeat. That little bean is growing and continue to lift all three of you up to our Creator, Maker and Sustainer. A friend once told me, "You're in Big Hands."
