Sorry for the delay in updates...been busy evenings...sleeping as soon as I can...fighting a cold...blah! NOT complaining....but a cold tired on top of feeling tired....well anyway..I will survive:)
So..last week we went for our first ultrasound. I believe at that point we were 5 weeks 5 days ish. With it being so early this is an internal ultrasound. It's too early to see a heart beat. The purpose is to see how the embryo is implanting and looking....AND to see how many.
There was only one....which was what I was sort of hoping for. Two would have been fun and loved...but a bit busy with Callen too!:) Anyway, one was there. So...Dennis' comment was...phew...no minivan!:) All the measurements were on track which was good. Basically it looks like a blob with a little bubble in it...called the yoke sac. We didn't get a picture this time but should with the next.

The ultrasound tech was telling us some neat genetic/embryology information she had learned at a course. She has said as we know that there are cells designated for certain things ie arm,leg, etc. There are also cells that are sort of jack of all trades that can be used wherever is needed to develop whatever is needed. Kind of cool really!
Anyway, over all feeling okayish. Having nausea if I am hungry and then if I eat too much...I think. Not sure the trend or if there is one. Part of the process and just embracing it as I can....maybe complaining a bit to certain people....just a bit...but not a lot. I know there are many who want to feel like this....so please don't get me wrong when I whine a bit! I am very fortunate and thankful!
okay...just icing, then shot...then bed time for this crazy party girl! Night all...thanks again for the support...
