Way behind on this post, but a busy week and I developed a nasty little cold mid-week that's sort of knocked me off my feet.
Our first appointment was last Monday, at 8wks, 1d. And it couldn't have gone any better.
This was my first time seeing this doctor, on a recommendation from a good friend, and I could not be happier with my choice. She's super calming and understanding. And The Hubby really liked her, so I'm so glad I picked her.
I will admit to be just as nervous and terrified for this appointment as I was excited.
I was hoping for a sonogram, but with that comes anxiety. What if we don't see what we should be seeing? What if these last 4 weeks were all I got?
As you can see, that was so not the case.
One beautiful baby. And one beautifully beating heart.
I still don't even have words for that feeling, the moment we saw that image.
Tears. Lots of tears.
Then, some added fun and laughs.
It's too hard to see in the picture up there, but baby was not quite measuring right. Dr. B did a double check on the information I had already given her. I was supposed to be 8wks 1d. And I have NO reason to doubt that. Despite not charting that cycle, I know from nearly two years of charting what my O date was within a day or two. Personally, I thought I was more along the lines of 8wks 3d, but was choosing to stay with the former.
Yeah, baby was measuring 8wks 6d. SIX!! DAYS!!
Since I know there is no possible way I'm almost a week ahead, Dr. B decided to leave my due date at November 18.
But, what this potentially means is I'm carrying a somewhat large baby. Yikes!
That's when The Hubby informed he was 9lbs 15oz. at birth. Double yikes!
I'm hoping all evens out in the end.
At any rate, the appointment was a huge success. I go back right at 12 weeks. We will hopefully hear the heartbeat, but Dr. B was quick to tell me that since I have an introverted uterus (which I, of course, knew from my sono at the RE), it was very possible that we still might not hear the heartbeat even at 12 weeks. But, she said if we couldn't hear with the doppler, we'd do another sonogram to see it.
So, now, I'm almost 9 weeks!! Nine weeks!! How did that happen?! (And I do promise a bumpdate this week and some other fun stuff.)

Congratulations!!! Those measurements will continue to be all over the place each time you get them :) So happy for you!
Yeah, those measurements go a little off either way usually. I wouldn't worry about a too-big aby just yet!
Thanks for the update, I was hoping all was ok. Congratulations on seeing that precious heartbeat!! What an amazing feeling!!
