Just a quick post today as I hit the 8 week mark. I took a peak at the little eagles last night since I have access to an ultrasound at work and both had heartbeats and had grown in size (that's about all I can tell.) My fears have not subsided though because now we are moving into the territory of when we lost our baby last time and when we found out. I also started having cramps yesterday, which I've heard are pretty normal, but it still freaks me out. Has anyone else had cramping in early pregnancy and the babies have been fine. I might even put in a call to my RE, but I have an ultrasound scheduled for Friday. I'm going to try to take it as easy as possible and relax.
To my little eagles, We are so glad that you are hear and causing me so much nausea and exhaustion. It really helps that you are making your presence known. Please stick around until we can meet you in person in September. We love you so much already!! Daddy is convinced that you are 2 boys, but I don't know what to think yet. Only time will tell and we will be excited either way. Can't wait to see you again for an official ultrasound on Friday!!
So - we had our retrievals on the same day, right? January 25th, 2012. A Wednesday. I thought that since that was the day my eggs were sucked out of my ovaries, that was the day I "graduated" every week. But at my last visit to my RE, he said that they actually count it from the day after egg retrieval, so they consider me to be changing weeks on Thursdays. Somehow this massively bummed me out - I think because I'm so miserably nauseous all the time and I keep hearing that it peaks around weeks 8-10, so I just want to get those over with, and here I am still dragging my feet at 7w6d. WTF, time? Can you please move a little faster? Pleeeeeease?
ReplyDeleteWow congratulations on 8 weeks!!! Everything sounds perfect. And I am so jealous of your access to regular ultrasounds!!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck on Friday! Lucky you for getting ultrasounds at work -- guess I should have gone into medicine! :-D
ReplyDeleteYay for the eagles!! Love that you can look at them whenever you want! :)
ReplyDeleteI just started following your blog :) Congrats on hitting the 8 week mark- it took me till about 24 weeks to really believe things were going to be okay- it's such a tough spot to be in! Sending you lots of hugs! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy for you!!! Friday will be here before you know it...just *try* not to stress (at least too much). I can't remember back that far to when I was 8 weeks, other than I felt like total sh*t (nausea, etc.), so I can't remember about cramping. I'm sure everything is cooking great in there! :)
