Friday's ultrasound helped solidify the pregnancy in my mind. As of 8/26/16, they said I was 6 weeks and 4 days pregnant. (Which is interesting considering that embryo has only been inside me since 7/29/16!!) But you have to take into account the time the embryo was in the petri dish! (Since this was a frozen embryo transfer.) So, the time is based on the embryo's development, not how long it's physically been inside me. Does that mean I get to cut 2 weeks off my pregnancy? Who knows! ;) That would be nice. :)
It was really weird hearing the heartbeat. It was beating at 104 beats per minute. They gave us a jump drive with a recording of the heartbeat, but their machine doesn't record sound. So it's only a silent movie of the heart beating. I told hubby next time I'll have him record it with the video camera on my phone, so we could have the sound as well!
They gave me all sorts of new stuff. An envelope that is titled "Turning Patients into Parents" with cheesy blue/pink graphics on it. (But I still liked it.)
Inside were all the pictures of my ultrasound they had taken. Some for my fridge, with copies for the grandparents.
It's official! This is our baby! See- they labeled the ultrasound in case I forgot what was inside me. ;)
Oh CJ I could not be more happy for you and your husband!!! I am and will pray for smooth sailing from here on out including an easy delivery and a healthy baby! You will be an awesome Mom!!!
