"A babe in the house is a well-spring of pleasure,
a messenger of peace and love,
a resting place for innocence on earth,
a link between angels and men."

November 25, 2010 – Week 5
It’s still so surreal – I can’t believe I’m pregnant. I am almost afraid someone is going to pinch me and wake me up, thus ending this splendid dream. I am so excited!
December 2, 2010 – Week 6
My energy level has been:
relatively normal (I’m too excited to be tired!)
relatively normal (I’m too excited to be tired!)
I can’t wait until the December 10 appointment when we finally get to see the baby for the first time! I think they said we should be able to see the heartbeat, but the baby will be too small to hear it beating just yet. We will also find out if one or both embryos took.
Once we go through the ultrasound and meet with the department chair, we are officially considered “graduated” from the Reproductive Endo group… at least for this time around. I still can’t believe we’re finally going to be parents!!
December 9, 2010 – Week 7
Tomorrow is the big day… the first time we get to see how you’re doing and just how many of you there are growing inside my womb!
I can’t even begin to express how excited I was to find out what to expect in 9 months… well, at least part of the story. We were both excited.

December 10, 2010 – First Ultrasound
My weight gain – 2 lb
Estimated size of baby – 1/3 of 1-inch long
Baby heart rate – 143 bpm
There were so many questions! How to tell everyone? What should the nursery look like? When do we find out if you’re a girl or a boy? The list is endless!!!
It is nearly impossible to describe the feelings that washed over me the first time we saw the tiny twinkle of your heart beating. I had to write a separate post about it… let’s suffice to say it was nothing short of magic – a miracle!
December 16, 2010 – Week 8
My complexion this week is: glowing
It’s still sinking in how tiny you are. I have no visible body changes at this time… but I’m sure that will all come along in due time.
I’m still frightened that something could happen and at any point we could go in for an appointment and get horrible news that you’re no longer there. I’ve actually had dreams about this… and it frightens me to tears. (I know, hormones, right?)
