A lime and growing

11 weeks, 3 days and counting! I had an ultrasound last Monday and the baby was moving, I couldn't believe that so early they move around. It was waving it's arms like it was trying to say hello and the heartbeat looked really good and strong too. It was my favorite moment so far, my 4-1/2 year old got to see the baby as well and it was nice to be able to share that experience with her. She was in awe, it was a very nice experience all together. Other than that latest update, we are still plugging along only about 6 or 7 weeks to go and we will get to find out the SEX of the baby! We are beyond excited for that although everyone has their own predictions it is interesting for sure. Until another update.....

Now we have a peanut

We officially have a peanut! So cute; the heartbeat which we heard again today was 180 bpm. It was so exciting to actually see the baby take form from just the little circle that we saw a couple of weeks ago. It is just so exciting and we feel so blessed that this new tiny miracle has taken place. We "GRADUATED" today which means we no longer see the Fertility Specialist we see our regular OBGYN. It is a very important day in this process you know things are good and they feel confident enough in having them take over. It is a bittersweet goodbye between you and them they have done something so AMAZING and you feel like you don't even know how to repay them and then you are just so happy to continue on this journey with some sort of normalcy to your pregnancy which is what you have wanted from the beginning but you also feel a sense of security with them. So it was hard to leave, I love my doctor at the Fertility office and I would recommend HRC, Dr. Bradford Kolb in Pasadena to anyone who was struggling like we have without any doubt!!!!!!
