Pregnant after a Loss

1st Ultrasound Today

Just got back from my 8 wk u/s. It was so surreal - the tech was the same one that found the problem with my fluid level back in June before Riley passed. She spent the whole time asking me about what had happened with Riley. I answered all her questions on numb autopilot - part of me truly expected to hear that something was wrong with my current pregnancy. Then she said, "Heartbeat looks great. See it there?" it felt like I was waking up out of a trance. I was shocked and asked, "Really? It looks okay?" and she played the heartbeat on the speaker for me. I know it will be so hard to trust that this pregnancy will result in our take-home baby, but for the first time since my BFP, I feel a connection to my baby. I was far too afraid to before. Tomorrow I go to my 1st MW appt. It's starting to feel...real :)
