Today I Embrace My Pregnancy

When I talked to Dr. Sher’s nurse after our ultrasound last week I told her how worried I was about not seeing the baby for 3 weeks.  She asked if I wanted another ultrasound.  Who doesn’t want to look at their baby another time?  So, of course, I said “Really? Yes, please!” 

So here we are, 8 weeks pregnant and with more beautiful, fuzzy, black and white pictures of our little bubble.  It is measuring at exactly 1 week ahead of last week, 8 weeks 3 days.  The heart was clip clopping away at 167, which, from what I’ve read, is a perfect increase from last week also. 

Little 8 week old Hunter bubble, you can even see one arm and leg poking out!

I promised myself yesterday (after closing my 500^th go.og.le search of miscarriage after seeing a heartbeat) that if everything looked good on today’s ultrasound that I would embrace this pregnancy.  Now here I am, with a perfect little one growing away and committed to my promise.

Here it goes:

• I will not go.og.le miscarriage anymore
• I will not stalk blogs about missed miscarriage
• I will tell people I’m pregnant (except for work, I’m waiting until 10 or 12 weeks)
• I will remember that there are no guarantees in life and that I am the luckiest girl alive to be pregnant at all!
