I tried to post a journal entry a few days ago but then my internet router kind of imploded and I have not had access until today.
Well, anyway, we had one perfect baby on Thursday's u/s with a beautiful strong heartbeat.
The other sack was still there and growing, measuring a week behind, empty. It is still producing hormones contributing to my sickness. In the back of my mind I let myself wonder if there really is a baby in sack A, just hiding, but realistically I know it is very very unlikely and just a daydream. I am a little disappointed that I will not be having both babies but when I saw that one beautiful perfect heart beating there was so little room for sadness. I think of how much we have done to get here and I can't be sad, I can only feel love.
Jeff is still away and is finally coming home next week. I've missed him here so much. My mother was able to go to the u/s with me and it was such an amazing experience for her. When the tech found the baby I saw a sea turtle, and then she saw a peanut, and then I saw a profile of a perfect baby, then we both saw the strong flashing heartbeat! Jeff was on speaker phone the entire time.
One little surprise is that I found out that my blood type is Rh negative, so I'll have to be treated for that in the near future.
The B-6/Unisom combination is helping the sickness somewhat. I am able to eat and drink, although I still have a constant mild nausea and gaging bouts when I eat, smell, see, or think of something I don't like. It's manageable.
I have graduated from the RE and am moving on the OB! I have my first appointment on 11/2. I have no idea what to expect. I spent so much time on the long and sad IF portion of my life I am excited to move into the wonderful pregnancy (healthy) chapter.

Congrats on your graduation and healthy sounding baby! I am sorry to hear that your second little one doesn't appear to have developed. I know that seeming loss is hard even though your heart is full of joy for the child you can see developing. *HUGS* Hope your morning sickness eases up as your pregnancy progresses!

I am so very happy for you! It is sad about the second baby but I agree that is sounds like it never developed, for what ever reason. I am praying for your little one to continue growing strong so he/she can make their way into this world. It is so nice your Mom got to share in the moment with you too. I am also glad the m/s is a little more manageable now.

Suzanne I know how it feels to have mixed emotions with the other baby that didnt develop. A lot of people didnt understand why I was sad. But then I had to do what you have done and just focus on the healthy baby(ies). I couldnt wait for you to experience seeing the hb b/c there is nothing like it! Im so sorry you have been so sick. Im now 14wks and still gag if I think of something I dont like lol. Im just so excited for you and many prayers have been answered!!! God is good :) xoxo

Congrats on hearing the heartbeat! It is such an amazing feeling, isn't it? I can understand your feelings of disappointment that the other sac hasn't developed, but you are still so blessed to have a baby with a perfect heartbeat! I am glad to hear that you are feeling a bit better, and I hope the m/s eases up soon. Good luck on 11/2 - it will be here before you know it!

Congrats on hearing the sound of joy! Very cool that your mom was there and Jeff was on the phone :) Also, congrats on moving on to the OB - it is kinda bittersweet! I felt a sense of withdrawal from the RE's office as I felt like I was going there forever and seeing those folks so often. Hopefully your OB will do lots of u/s' and you will get to see the hb often, as well as Jeff. Glad to hear that the m/s is getting a bit more tolerable - it is all worth it, right? Hope all continues to go well and I am soooooo happy for you!
