Pregnant after IF

I graduated, too!

What a bittersweet moment ... I'm 11.5 weeks and had my last scan with the RE today.  Baby continues to do well with a heart rate of 176 and measuring just 2 days behind.

I'm 12 weeks on Sunday and it still seems so surreal ... there's actually a baby in there growing!! S/He is doing amazing and considering our rocky start, it's just a miracle.  We feel truly blessed.

Now let's just hope the rest of this pregnancy goes smoothly!!! I see the peri for my NT scan on Tuesday followed by my first OB visit (yes at 12 weeks hehe).  I already did a 1 hour glucose screen and passed so everything so far looks good! :)

Thank you ladies for all the support, care and love ... I never could have gotten through those first few weeks without all of your support, words of encouragement and prayers. :)
