Latest Baby Pics

We had our last ultrasound and appointment with the fertility clinic today. They are letting us go until June (after our due date)! We have our first visit with my OB/friend next week. Baby has grown a lot. Now it has s huge head and arms that are very wiggly. Baby was moving a lot and heartrate was a lot higher. Big brains with two hemishperes were immediately apparent and labeled on the ultrasound pic if you look closely. We are more excited and ready to start thinking more positively about this going full term!

I am doing well. Other than the fatigue and some food aversion, it is not so bad. I am lucky! I get to take a nap at work on one of the exam tables if I am lucky each day!

More updates to come as there is more to say!!

Thank to you all for your support and well wishes and prayers and everything! It has made this all very much better than it could have been! I love you all!!

Here it is.....

So a picture speaks a thousand words....
As soon as the ultrasound probe was used, I could hear the heart beat and allowed myself to breathe!
Heartbeat is 127 per minute - perfect
Size of baby is right on for age - awesome
ONE BABY ONLY - YAY!
Due date Memorial Day 2009 - almost all babies in our family have been born this time of year - group birthdays here we come
Recheck of ultrasound in 3 weeks
I think I might go take a nap ;-)

Two more days until the ultrasound

So, here I am waiting the two more days for the ultrasound.
I am tired.
It really feels like I may be able to sleep all day and still be tired.
These hormones are my Kryptonite.

Also, I am having stress dreams again and I am sure that having my brain active all night solving the problems in my dreams is not helping my fatigue.

Fortunately, my husband is fussing over me. Making me eat and go to bed early. Making me take naps on Sundays when I feel tired and not expecting me to do everything like I have in the past.

Only two more days and maybe the knowing will make the stress dreams go away. I hope that they are not just a side effect of the hormones.

I am trying to cut back a little at work. I may even close my practice to new patients right now. I will see.

More to come on Wednesday PM.
