I had my final appointment with my RE office today. It was sort of bittersweet. I've been seeing them at least once a month for the past 10 months. Plus the lab and the ultrasound techs... I told them all goodbye today too! I'm going to miss them all. I had such great care.
Our little green olive was measuring right on track today at 9 weeks 0 days so exactly where he/she needed to be. Heart rate was 172 bmp. I was in shock at how much our bean has grown in the last two weeks! We even got to see a little bit of movement. Starting to feel a little more real now.
We've only told a handful of people so far but today I went for it and told my aunt since it was her birthday today!
First real OB appointment in 2 weeks. I'm pretty worried I won't be able to hear the heart beat and of course that will make me worry. I've read usually around after 12 weeks is when you can hear it on the Doppler and I have some extra weight especially around my middle so I know that will make it harder too.
Major plus of the day... only one more week of endometrin! No more chalky gross discharge (TMI?)!
That was a lot of random stuff! Glad I have this board to share on! ![]()
