Lucky Us

Really it had nothing to do with luck. It's called strategic planning. I knew I'd have to go back to my OB three months from our miscarriage back in May so if we played our cards right we could see the baby really early.  It's a good thing and a bad thing.  Good because we'd get to see the baby early (duh) and bad because we'd get to see the baby early (double duh). There's a reason that OBs don't see women as early as I was seen. Anything can happen because it's so early. It was just a chance we'd have to take.

On August 14th we got to see our kiddo for the first time. A strong heartbeat, growing on schedule, a life.

6 weeks 4 days - more bloat than baby!

I gotta admit, we were all smiles! It's pretty amazing. For the moment I took back ever having said that I never, ever, ever wanted to carry a child.  Don't hold me to that though. 

Just to keep track:
