Ultrasound 1....

Well, it was a VERY wet morning, but we had our 1st ultrasound this morning and we have a super strong little one in there! I am beyond excited for all of us. What a special Christmas blessing!!

I was full of excitement last night and this morning was wide awake at 5am. The drive this morning was nasty and I was really hungry before the appointment. 😋 I made it there a little early and once I got in and had my paperwork filled out they called my name to go back.

I wasn't able to videotape the ultrasound which kind of bummed me out but as soon as she put the wand on my belly we could see the sac and little "pea". We also saw a strong heartbeat and a little flutter. 💓 She took lots of measurements and pictures and looked for more than 1 babe, but we didn't see any. Heart-rate is 132 bpm.

I get to go back and have 2 more ultrasounds at 7 and 8 weeks and we will be able to watch the little one grow before we graduate from the clinic and I am released to my own OBGYN.  My IPs are thrilled and I am sure feeling some relief too!! We have been chatting all day and they just make me so happy and feel so good inside. 💖🤰🐣

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

BOY or GIRL?????

Well, last night I had my 1st dream about the baby. I dreamed that we got our test results and found out baby Swiss was a boy. Today,  I stalked my email hoping the results would come. Baby's mom was excited but thought it might be too early and I was being super optimistic. I decided to call Quest while I was sitting in the car loop and they said, "yeah, we have the results and they were sent to your dr. yesterday." I told him I was signed up to get an email but had not gotten one yet so he said he would send them right over. 10 mins later my email dinged and then I was scared to look. I pulled them up and everything is PERFECT, normal, and negative. WE HAVE A HEALTHY BABY, which is of course most important. I quickly let the parents know all was good and we would call them in a few to reveal the gender. They were so happy and excited! I called my Dr. to confirm the sex and that all the results looked good and she said "YES!"  When we got home the kids co

36 days or LESS...

The official countdown and Swiss baby watch are on...We are just 36 days or less from meeting a special little king! Thursday, I went for a weekly checkup and our first stress test. I have never had to do the stress test monitoring before so did not really know what to expect or what they were looking for. The reason my Dr. has us doing it is that baby boy is measuring above average and because IVF is a little riskier and my dr. just wants to be sure we are up to date and extra observant. Ultrasound looked great although he is still head and face down and very low so we probably will not be able to get any more good photos of him. So, we headed to another room for the non-stress test. I was hooked up and they told me I would sit for 20 mins while they recorded the baby's movements and how his heartbeat responded to that. I tried to lay very still and be very calm and after 20 mins the nurse and Dr. came in and said he was being very well behaved and quiet and that this heartbea

Another Week Down...

Image
Week 35!!!! This past week I have had a lot stronger contractions, mostly at night time that will wake me up. My sleeping is off and on...some nights it’s great and I’ve even slept in until 9-10am and some nights it’s terrible and I’m wide awake until after midnight or for 2-3 hours in the night. So, looking forward to sleeping on my stomach again. My appetite comes and goes...loving veggies, watermelon, sour gummies, and drinking tons of water!!! Not really wanting any meat again! The pressure down below is intensifying and bathroom visits are at an all-time high, sometimes I’ll go, stand up, and have to go again! My boobs are huge, my belly is huge, it’s so hot outside and I kept stressing that my water might break when I’m out in public somewhere!!! I’ve been trying to stay busy with some house projects and making sure everything is ready for baby’s parents to be back here with us in just under 2 weeks now but I’m also making sure I rest and put my feet up when I can! I’ve stocked u
