I'm going to kill the suspense right quick. I had my "peace of mind" ultrasound this morning and it appears that all is well in my uterus :)
My Doctor thankfully found the heartbeat immediately so I didn't have to wait one more second to breathe a sigh of relief. Then I saw the coolest thing ever. It's a baby, you guys. It was moving its arms and legs like crazy and bouncing around. It may only be the size of a fig, but it now looks more like a baby than a blob! The movement was unbelievable to see. It is definitely not hanging out in there, it is getting its groove on! So cool.
After floating around on cloud nine for the day, I had a slew of labs drawn for the antenatal screening tests that we elected to do. On September 9th we will have a detailed ultrasound where they will complete in depth measurements and give us the odds of different chromosomal anomalies like Trisomy 21, 18, and 13. I'm a little nervous for that, but also excited to get to watch the scan for up to 45 minutes!
Unfortunately I have no picture proof to share this time, but so happy that baby R is enjoying his/her home in my ute!
