It's amazing what we've been through, how far we've come, and where we are today.
I had a rough weekend. The miscarriage anniversary was adding on to the worry that constant spotting and cramping had plagued me with. When I woke up this morning, I called my fertility clinic (yes, the clinic that graduated me 2 weeks ago) and asked them if I could come in for a "reassurance scan". The receptionist told me that they couldn't see me for a scan since I was past 9 weeks. What did I do? I cried, of course. They found an RE for me to talk to (not my RE, but the one that did my last transfer) and she agreed to have me come in. Luckily I was put on my own RE's schedule and went in at 10:00 AM today.
I'm so lame. Seriously. I was convinced I had lost the babies. I must learn to have confidence in these two, because they are THRIVING!!!
Baby A measured 9w3d with a heartrate of 176.
Baby B measured 9w4d with a heartrate of 166.
My lil' bugs were dancing and jumping all around. It was THE most precious thing I've seen in my life.
What a blessing they are. What an absolute blessing!
You are not LAME!!
ReplyDeleteYou are a worried Mama, and you will now worry about these sweet babes for the rest of your life. :)
I love watching your babies grow!

The u/s pictures are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteIf going in makes you feel better... then that's what needed to be done.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteNow, a year later - Yay! Nothing sweeter to see than healthy babies who have no idea how worried you are! Congratulations!

Oh Jen.... you are NOT lame! When I was spotting, I went in every single week for a while. And having it happen on THIS day, a year after your first loss... well, you deserve to be able to go in, get reassurance and see those gorgeous babies of yours!! They are ADORABLE! :) Can't believe you're going to hit the 2nd trimester in just a few weeks!
ReplyDeleteNot lame at all.
ReplyDeleteI am so, so very dreading my anniversary. I can't even say how much. I'm SO glad you were able to get in for a scan.
(The only thing getting me through is that I'm getting a scan the week before, and a have a midwife appointment that week. But even now, anticipating it, I can't imagine the scan the week before having anything but terrible news.)
I could not be more thrilled for you. This is an amazing blog and I can't way to watch your little ones grow!

ReplyDeleteWhat great pictures!!! I think we are very close in our pregnancy dates, and my NT scan is the same day as yours!
