My Perfect Day


That's my perfect little baby! Adorable, right? Couldn't be more perfect either! Measuring exactly 8 weeks with a heartrate of 160 bpm!!

What relief...what absolute relief! They are also calculating my due date as March 10th now...I know, due date-shmue date...baby will come when baby is ready.

Because of my previous miscarriage, my RE wants to see me again, my appointment is next Wednesday. I also see my family doctor next Thursday. One benefit is that I get more ultrasounds & more opportunities to see my precious baby!!!

What an amazingly perfect day!!! My Mom came with me again & we both saw my baby for the 1st time together. It was such a special moment to share with my Mom. She has been unbelievably supportive through this whole journey...she & I have had our disagreements & rough patches but there has been one common thread...her unconditional love. No matter how I've ever disappointed her, she has always loved me fully & unconditionally. Growing up with that has given me an excellent example of how I want to be a mother. Oh sure, I have my own opinions about some stuff that differ from hers...but when it comes to love? She's an inspiration.

I wanted also to thank everyone for all their comments on my last post. It was so cathartic to write it & put it out there...Before writing it, I was afraid to admit I was scared...it felt as though I took the power of the fear away by facing it, admitting it, sharing it...then to receive so much encouragement & well wishes really bolstered me when I needed it. So thank you all.

  3. I am so, so very happy for you. What a wonderful day for you and your mom. Your baby is beautiful. I had so many ultrasounds when I was pregnant, at 6,7,8,9,11, 13 and 20 weeks I believe. I loved everyone of them because I got to see my baby (not just feel him). Enjoy this time--I'm so very excited for you!

  10. Such a great post...I love that we're at the same clinic...and that I brought my mom to all my ob u/s there too, so I can totally relate to this post. Plus, my mom also has been so incredibly supportive, even though we definitely have our moments as well.
