I'm not sure why I needed another ultrasound to date the pregnancy after having two at the RE, but I'm not going to complain (due date is still March 22). The baby is now 15.6mm (pretty cool because they gave me the measurement in centimeters to start with, which feels like an upgrade from its smaller sister the mm).
But the coolest part was we heard the heartbeat! Which, of course, stopped my heart. 156 beautiful beats per minute. Thank you, God!
I return in 2 weeks for my routine prenatal work-up. I think I'll continue to hold my breath throughout this entire pregnancy, always apprehensive about accepting it as reality knowing how hard it was to come by and how quickly it could be taken away. Right now we are just so grateful for our little 8 week blessing.

How wonderful...congratulations graduate!!! :o) What a wonderful thing...to hear your baby's heartbeat!!!!!
ReplyDeleteFantastic news that you heard the h/b! I am so jealous that you had 3 u/s by 8 weeks- when I won't get my second one until 9 weeks. That u/s image is great too- so much detail for being so tiny!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! I'm sure that sound was one of the best you have ever heard! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats! So lovely.
ReplyDeleteAs for always holding your breath, I think that is the non-visible scar we all carry because we went through IF. No one can see this, but we will carry this apprehension with us always. Hopefully after a while it lessens, but I suspect it will always be there lurking.
That's so awesome! I'm praying that you have a happy and healthy pregnancy!
ReplyDeleteLOVE seeing ultrasound pics! So happy for you. Can't wait to read all about your pregnancy journey!
ReplyDeletecongratulations on your bfp! i had a really hard time getting there myself so i know how exciting/scary it is, good luck to you!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on transitioning to the OB! :) That is a beautiful picture!
ReplyDeleteJust thinking of you and wanted to say that I hope you are having a very happy an uneventful pregnancy so far. And congrats on graduating to the OB. :-D
