The IP's and I had another ultrasound at the clinic this past Thursday, January 17th to check on the baby's growth. Baby measured at 8w, 5 days with a strong heartbeat of 174. It was amazing to see how much growth happened in just 2 weeks.
We have just one more ultrasound appointment at the clinic in 2 weeks before we get discharged. I have chosen to use my mid-wife Kathleen of Bella Births whom I used with my previous pregnancy and birth of my youngest. My IP's are in full support and I can't wait for them to have a beautiful birth experience of their baby as I did with my last.
At the end of the appointment I gave the IP's an ultrasound frame that said, "Love at first sight". I am so thrilled we have been so successful throughout our journey together and I am an anxious to pass this first trimester so we can mark another celebration milestone. I have had some nausea as well as fatigue but I think these will fade in the second trimester. I am still taking estrogen 3x a day as well as the progesterone shot each night but I am now happily counting down with just one week, one day to go before I can stop using them.
Amazing what the body is capable of doing along with a little medical help! Congrats again and happy healthy baby vibes! Can't wait to hear at the end of this journey about another beautiful birth experience!
