I thought I'd post a quick baby update for friends & family who are interested. I had my first appointment with the doctor and my second ultrasound on Tuesday. What a relief it is to see a little heart beating and such amazing growth from just a few weeks ago. Little arm and leg buds and a sweet little human form (no more tail). A hemorrhage issue that they caught early on is beginning to resolve itself. The CNP was reasonably helpful and willing to work with me so that I can get necessary care, but not have to pay for tests I felt were unnecessary. Actually, we had a lot of compromising to do, and she is probably hoping that I see another provider next time since I can be a bit 'doctor defiant'. Still, it was an informative appointment.
This weekend I have reached the ten week mark in my pregnancy. Technically it isn't too significant in any medical or developmental terms. Yet it feels like a milestone of sorts to me. I've made it a quarter of the way through my pregnancy. I'm half-way to knowing whether we will be shopping for pink or blue. I've gotten to see my baby twice so far, and while the second time was to check on a potential complication, I have such peace knowing I was able to see my precious little one healthy and growing in my womb. I feel truly blessed.
