A Day I've (We've) Been Waiting For....

It seems like, since this infertility journey, that we have been always waiting for the "next" date.  Today was one of those days.  The day of the "Confirmation of Pregnancy" appointment.  Today was the day of the ultrasound that would tell Josh and I if we were having one baby or two; how far alone we are; and if the baby(ies) is doing ok.

Well, Grace threw a wrench in our plans. I guess we should be used to plans changing....but I guess we were caught off guard because of the families overall health this winter.  Let's just say she wanted to cuddle a lot in the a.m. and didn't eat very much....and I maybe should have known....but nothing stayed down.  Josh wanted to come to the appt...so we tried to get her dressed....but as she was putting her coat on...all of the water she had drank came out. 

This big appointment we both had waited for ended up with me attending on my own.

Needless to say, we are so blessed.  While twins would have been okay....I am so thankful that there is ONE healthy baby growing.  I'm 6 weeks 5 days along, with a baby measuring 7mm (they were hoping from 5 to 6mm) and a heart rate that's strong and healthy.    The doctor said I could come back for another ultrasound but it wasn't really needed and I could be released to my normal doctor.  I don't think we could have asked for better news.

Due date: September 4th, 2014.

Now...we need to get started on pictures and updates. I promise to be more diligent in recording this pregnancy.
