On cloud nine!

Greetings Everyone,

Had our appt. this morning and I'm on cloud nine!!! The dr. let us slide the curtain over so we could view the ultra sound monitor. At first I was scared that all we were seeing was a floating image-no heart beat. But then, we saw it's little heart flickering -thank god! And as the dr. moved the wand around to see from different angles our baby kicked it's little feet and rolled onto it's side to try and get comfortable again. The most unexpected and beautiful thing I could have hoped to see today. Dr. also said the size and development of our little one is right on schedule. Made it past our m/c date by one week- what a relief!

I've been officially upgraded to "pregnant" by Japanese standards. Finally they've started with the round of tests. They took a pap and some blood work today (HIV & some others), and we're suppose to go to the town hall and register our pregnancy before our next visit in three weeks (3/2). At that time I should be almost 13wks. That would put me at the cusp of the 1st and 2nd trimesters. Some books say week 13 others week 14.

I'm starting to feel like this one will stick. I've really tired not to let my feelings get away from me, but it's hard not to have hope after seeing our little one move!!!! Worried I'm overly optomistic too soon. Well, that's our news. Thank you for reading and sharing it with us.

That's wonderful news Capri. Sounds very good that you'll hold this baby in Sept.

I remember how wonderful it was to see an actual baby form for the FIRST time with my DD.

I'm so very happy for you. Grow baby grow.....Karen
