Yesterday was our 2nd ultrasound and last appointment with the fertility doctor. When we got there and got into our room we had to wait a while for doctor so Frank said he started to get nervous. Me on the other hand, I wasn’t nervous at all. I told him that if he had been feeling how I had then he would have no doubt that there is a healthy little baby growing in there!
The doctor asked how I have been feeling and honestly in the last few days I have felt quite a bit better than in previous weeks. I did mention about constipation because that has been a big issue. He said since I brought it up that he had a surprise for me. I no longer have to take my progesterone suppositories or my estrogen pills! I am super happy because that will help ease the constipation and doing suppositories in general just had its down sides. Anyway, that was great news.
Also got some great news once they started the ultrasound. There is plenty of fluid around the baby. We could see the beginning of arms and legs and the heartbeat. We even got to listen to the heartbeat this time. It was at 164bpm which doctor said is great! Then, just as we were almost done, doctor said “hold on a second” and stopped so we could see the baby moving. But not just moving like a little arm twitch here and there. It was really dancing around in there! That was so amazing to see and doctor said that was a great sign of a healthy baby when they are moving around so early in pregnancy. I think Frank almost wet his pants, he was so excited haha
As we were walking out of the office they gave us our print outs of the ultrasound and everyone that had helped us wished us well and said congratulations. I seriously love that office and wish I could stay.
On our way back to my work I called the OB that my primary doctor had referred for me and made an appointment. It is Tuesday at 8:30am. I was happy that they were able to get me in so quickly.
So we are on to the next chapter of this crazy journey!
