8 weeks pregnant

pic on the right: 5 day old embryo- pic on the left: 8 week baby!


#worthit. This week's appointment was AWESOME. I don't know how well you can see but the sac is rounding out and all the mass is is a fibroid tumor! Which are NOT uncommon. Baby is measuring right at 8 weeks 1 day, heartbeat was beautiful at 156 bpm, and doctor said it's looking great. We were discharged from his care and though we are so happy to be at this point, it was a sad thing to say goodbye to him and his sweet MA since they've been such a big part of our lives for the past three months and have helped us make our biggest dream come true. From panicked phone calls full of obsessive questions to handling my drugged out self for retrieval and transfer, they've been so patient and we always felt 100% confident in his judgement. How do you say "thank you" for that?

Maybe repeat business. He promised he would be around in a couple years when we're ready to go at it again.

Maybe that picture up there is cheesy. Maybe not. To me it represents a lot of effort and dedication to bring a little baby to our family.

MISS ANYTHING: Nope.

FOOD CRAVINGS: Up until yesterday it was tacos and spicy food. Then I went to TacoTime and had Nachos that made me queasy for the rest of the day. Now when I think about tacos I feel a little puke in the back of my throat.

ANYTHING MAKE YOU QUEASY: Nachos, I guess. The smell of meat cooking. Waiting too long between snacks.

WEIGHT GAIN: Still haven't been able to get on the scale.

STRETCH MARKS:Nope.

HAPPY OR MOODY: Happy. This week's appointment was just what I needed.

SYMPTOMS: 
  •  Sore boobs
  • bloating
  • twinges
  • a little queasy sometimes
  • hungry
 LOOKING FORWARD TO: Bloat going away and getting a legit bump. I've been using the hairtie trick for weeks now and if I can help it, I don't wear pants. #notsorry
