The nurse went over all the info, what to eat, how often I will be seen etc. & made all my appointments through June. I then met with my Dr. and we went over things. She was THRILLED that I am pregnant. I am her 1st embryo adoption patient & the first one in the entire practice! SO EXCITING! She went over the test that MOST moms over 35 need (NT scan etc) and it was clear I needed none of them since my donor mom was 22. She says "I will basically treat you like you are 22!" WISH I FELT LIKE IT!!!
I then went into a room with a nurse who was searching for the baby's heart beat on doppler. She tried many times and couldn't find it so I happily & nervously waited 45 minutes until a sono tech was available and was THRILLED to see our little miracle with arms and legs just FLAILING about! They REALLY went out of their way to make sure I was at ease. It is well worth the hour drive each way!
Here is our little sweet one at 10w2d! Heart Beat 176! Next visit-New Year's Eve Day.
I thought after my last shot, the morning/all day sickness would get better. It may have eased up a bit but I am sick most of the time & comforted in the fact that this means baby is doing GREAT!I puked the other night & peed my pants all at the same time, looked at DH and BAWLED! Poor guy, I don't think he knew what to say! I am a hormonal mess. I cry at the tiniest things AND I have swelling in my hands, legs and feet!
Praising God for our little miracle! God IS GOOD, ALL THE TIME!

Been there done that with the vomiting and peeing! LOL! Absolutely not funny at the time but it is now.
ReplyDeleteSo glad that your LO is doing so well!
Your baby is gorgeous!! Isnt' that genetic mother's age thing FABULOUS!! I'll be hopefully treated like a 32 year old when I go for my first appointment!!
ReplyDeleteHow precious!!! Glad to hear that all is going well. Sorry that you are such an emotional mess though. {{{HUGS}}}
ReplyDeleteSo excited for you and what a BIG appointment! I thought that my throwing up several times a day was due to the shots as well....UMMMMM....NO! It's the pg hormones and you're right it is a great sign. Since you put it out there...UM the peeing while throwing up....happened 3 to 5 times a day! I guess I throw up soooo hard. My DH and kiddos knew that when Mommy ran to the bathroom to grab a large towel and Clorox wipes and a glass of water. It was protocol! So happy peeing and have a Merry Christmas! It's so amazing to be a light in that OB practice! Praise the Lord!
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you! Your little one looks great! I love that your clinic was so awesome and put you at ease. That would have stopped my heart right then and there.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to know I am not the only mom who threw up and peed at the same time! :) So worth it in the end! Praying for you, friend!
ReplyDeleteSo glad your visit went well. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad your appointment went well! What a beautiful picture!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a relief it must have been to see your baby! The first OB appt is so exciting. I got teary-eyed at mine, just realizing there were no more clinic appointments and I was a true OB patient.
ReplyDeleteAnd not that you're asking, but I'm guessing GIRL due to the high heart rate and the "clash of the female hormones" symptoms!
Definitely an advantage of EA!!! Yes, I was 35 when pg w/ my daughter, though was treated as a 25 year old as that was the age of the eggs. Forever young!
