The big man looks like a peanut in his u/s today. I can see arms and I think I saw some eyes too. His head/body are looking less shrimp-like and more round. My little monkey. He is measuring right on target and heartbeat is still strong! I am feeling better than I have in awhile- once the spotting from earlier this week stopped. I still have a weird appetite, but the nausea is almost 100% gone. I busted out some maternity jeans for work today and good Lord do I love them. They are just like denim pajama pants. Why would I not wear these pre- and post-pregnancy?! Eh, I guess that’s old lady-ish but still.
I have my last appointment at the RE’s office on Tuesday 11/29 and at that point he said I should be taken off all of my meds. I’m glad I have one more appointment for 11 weeks, just for my own sanity. My first pre-natal appointment at the OBGYN’s is 12/8 and I’m trying to see how I can slyly get an appointment either right before or right after that around 12 weeks. I just really am addicted to seeing my little cutie and I don’t know how I will do it when these weekly visits stop!
Since we are coming up on the Thanksgiving holiday, I have had some time to reflect on what I am thankful for, including:
- My husband, who puts up with my 9pm toddler outbursts because I am hungry/tired/sick/crazy
- My parents and family, who are always supportive of me and have taken part in this emotional rollercoaster since it began 18 months ago
- PGD/IVF/ my RE for giving me the gift of life, when my statistics said it would mostly likely never happen for me
That is on my top three, there are many more things to be thankful for this year and every year. I know we have been through so much but I realize more and more every day how truly blessed we are, even if the baby thing doesn’t work out for us. We don’t have much to complain about, that’s for sure.
