I choose to make our process very public and blog about everything that has occurred. Most people knew the day we were supposed to find out if our IVF had been successful. Family, friends, co-workers and those who read our blog (all 2 of you) followed along while we went to appointment after appointment. Once we found out whether we were pregnant or not, there would be no way of hiding our answer to those we encounter everyday. But……we have been able to keep our news off the blog. Which for me, really means radio silence…as I can’t seem to find anything else to blog about.
I have great fears about telling people about a pregnancy so early. But, what is too early? I believe ten to twelve weeks is the norm, right? But, like I have said before, nothing about this pregnancy has been normal for us. Also, I don’t think I can continue radio silence on the blog……it’s much too boring. So…today, at 7 weeks…I would like to introduce you to Baby Bice…………
We are expecting a SINGLETON (thank you God) baby due November 19, 2011. The actual baby is in between the two + signs, that blob on the top which looks like a giant head (which we will expect our child to have) is actually it's yolk sac (saying those words makes me gag). We graduated from the Fertility Specialist on Tuesday and have already started seeing my regular OB! We couldn't be happier and the doctors say everything is going perfectly so far! We got to see a beautiful and strong heartbeat and it relieved so many of my fears!
Yes....I realize it's very early (stop judging me)...but I can not (in good conscience) continue the blogging silence.
Is it weird that I actually teared up when i read this? Chris and I SO excited for you guys. You two are going to be amazing parents. Congratulations!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Alicia! We are so excited too! We may not be great parents, but we will certainly have fun trying! :)
ReplyDeleteI am SOOOO EXCITED for y'all! I was thinking no news was good news but didn't want to push it! That little heartbeat is the best sound in the world, I will keep y'all in my prayers. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Amy! Seeing the heartbeat was incredible! Probably the most amazing thing I have witnessed!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting!! David and I are so happy for you all. It is such an exciting time in your all's life right now. So many exciing things to plan and talk about like names, nursery, and just wait until you feel the baby move for the first time!! Congrats, you all will be amazing parents! November babies are great because you spend the winter indoors and when it gets warm the baby is old enough to actually enjoy the outdoors.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I am so happy for you two and know you are over the moon! I pray the pregnancy goes well and all is good! You all and your patience and faith are an inspiration for me! =)
ReplyDeleteThank you guys so much! We truly got to a point where we weren't sure we would ever get here...so just reaching this point has been a blessing!
