We got to see him/her for the first time this morning. It looks like a blob right now but is going to turn into a beautiful person.
So the stats. The baby should be measuring at 7 weeks 3 days but is measuring at 7 weeks. Our doctor said within 5 days is normal and we shouldn’t be alarmed. I’m trying not to be.
Unfortunately they couldn’t find a heartbeat. This is fairly common as I’m only 7 weeks along so is still very early. Due to what happened last time and us being cautious (and our doctor being very kind) we are scheduled to go in on Tuesday at 10 am for another ultrasound. I will be 8 weeks 1 day at that point and she believes we should be able to see the heartbeat by then. I’m praying all goes well.
We did get a photo to take home of our Nugget. I keep looking at to make sure it’s real. I know everything didn’t go exactly as I was hoping (the baby would be measuring right on track and have a strong heartbeat) but I have to remain optimistic. What we saw is normal for this stage and I need to remind myself that. No freaking out for this baby’s sake.
Now, I wait till Tuesday to see our Nugget’s heartbeat. I’m so looking forward to a strong heartbeat. I’m going to continue to take care of myself, take my progesterone, and look at the photo to show me that it indeed is real.
