7 Week Ultrasound

The 7 Week Ultrasound showed....

One Healthy Baby with a Beating Heart.  High initial beta numbers apparently don't always necessarily correspond with more than one baby.  But without further ado, I present to you our baby!!!


Isn't S/He Beautiful?
Everything is measuring right on schedule for 7 weeks.  Dr. C took some time showing us the yolk sack/fetal pole, spinal cord, etc.  But every single time there was a heartbeat to be seen, she pointed to it with her finger.  From my position lying on the table with my feet in stirrups, I didn't get to see it.  I felt like a failure for not being able to see it myself.  Next time, I will make sure that I get to see it.  Derek did get to see the flutter and assures me it was there.  I want to cry...

We go back in 2 weeks for another ultrasound (at 9 weeks).  This will be our graduation day from the RE.  I didn't think I would ever get to type those words.

I am in awe.  I have a baby growing inside me.

Congratulations on seeing your baby!

For the record, I NEVER see anything on the ultrasound. Seriously. I feel like I am mentally challenged. My hubby sees everything, "Oh yes, there it is! Lacie, did you see that burst? That was the embryos going into the your uterus?!" Huh?
