baby's first ultrasound

 It went so well! :) I saw my little nugget. and heard the heartbeat. its got a good strong heartbeat and its the perfect size for how far along i am. yaaaay!! just to be safe my RE wants me to come in for a a follow up ultrasound in 2 weeks just to make sure everything is growing properly and then they can pass me along to an OB. 

i found an OB office that i like. The OB is a male, which i prefer female but he has great review and the practice also has midwives and they offer water birth. and its right next to a big hospital. so i'm really excited about it. :)

you guys i'm so proud of my body and my little nugget. after the first miscarriage my RE told me it wouldn't be impossible but it would be difficult for me to get pregnant on my own. but i listened to my body and said i would just let nature take its course and i got pregnant on my own. with help from my husband of course. lol. 

after seeing my baby and hearing the heartbeat i'm actually letting myself get excited. i shouldn't get too excited. we're not completely out of the woods. i've heard of people MC at 7wks, 8wks, 10wks. so until i get to 12 wks i won't be truly excited. but things are looking good and i have high hopes for this one. this one is working hard and doing so well. i have wanted my own sonogram picture for SOOOO long. i always see my friends' pics. but now i'm looking at my very own and its so surreal. i almost can't believe i'm lucky enough to have this. i've never been the person to win anything. i always watch other people win and live vicariously through them. when i got married i didn't think i was pretty enough to wear a wedding dress. i feel so incredibly blessed to have a pregnancy and a baby of my very own. i couldn't want anything more. i'm enjoying every second of it.

i'd post a pic of the baby but i have no idea how to post pictures. its not online anywhere, just on my computer.  i've never been able to post a pic on here. even after people explained it to me. its like my browser doesn't like this site. lol.

Way to go, Momma!!!!

 thanks vikki! :) i hear people end up getting pregnant when they go on vacation. i guess because they relax and stop thinking about it. i was hoping for that in may when i have a trip to montreal planned if it hadn't happened before then. have fun on your vacation!

Soo happy for you!!!!! Congrats!!!!!! Plz send me the baby train in a couple of months

 thanks :) will do!

Oh Meli... that's such great news.  Yes a MC can happen at any time during the 1st trimester.  It has also happened in the early stages of the 2nd tri too, but the chances are very low (like 2% or less in teh 2nd tri.)  It's a really good sign to see and hear the HB at 6 wks and change.   I'm also really glad that you found an OB practice that you like.  That's really important.

Sending that sticky dust to you and praying this little nugget nestles in for the long haul!  Take care sweetie!

 thank you maryn!
