They had their 7w u/s and it showed one bean with a strong heartbeat! Yay for them!

On a side note, I think my DH thinks I'm a tad crazy since I cry every time they show an update on them :)

    I haven't been able to watch, but I am so happy for them! And I am also glad it worked out that they are having a singleton so that the world can see that IVF does not mean multiples.

    I watched this today at the hospital and totally teared up. It as pretty amazing to watch while holding my own brand new miracle baby.

    As a side note, I'm glad they said they "transferred the embryos" this time instead of "implanted" them.
    IVF, acupuncture, meditation and a miracle.

    I was also glad to hear her response about having a singleton. The whole IVF equals multiples assumption makes me nuts! Although, Natalie Morales stumbled over the intro by saying the patient had been inseminated.

    And, I LOVED yesterday's show. I don't know if it was the working in foster care for so many years or the remembrance of our struggle, but it was so amazing to see the adoption segment.
