Last Friday we had our last RE appt. I was nervous but at the same time so calm and I just had such a positive feeling that things were going to be great. And they were. Baby measured (ahead according to trigger timing but right on schedule according to LMP) at 8w3d with a heart rate of 170bpm. So we officially GRADUATED from the RE. Heck yea! :) So exciting!
Below is our u/s pics from 6 week u/s and 8 week u/s. HUGE difference.

Oh and some other AWESOME news. I found baby's heartbeat on the doppler last night!!! I was searching for like 40 mins. Before I attempted finding it I watched a few youtube videos with some helpful hints for finding it early with the doppler (8-9 weeks). I was just about to give up when all the sudden I heard it. It was so so so neat. I can't even explain. I was yelling for F to come in the room and hear it. :) We took some video of it too.
And now my ugly bump picture. I should really put some make up on before I take these. Yuck.
How far along? 8w5d
Weight: Same. Up. Ranging between 111-114. :/
Symptoms: peeing 3-4 times a night, boobs are ginormous, hungry. all. the. time.
Maternity clothes: Not yet, but I was tempted this weekend with all the Memorial Day sales. I did buy some dresses though, non maternity for summer.
Stretch marks? Not any that I didn't come into this pregnancy with.
Sleep? II still love sleep but last night I slept horribly. I couldn't fall asleep to begin with and then I swear I only slept in 1 hour intervals. Everything was waking me up and of course getting up to pee as well.
Best moment last week? Seeing baby and it looked like an actual BABY with a great heart beat.
Movement? Not for a long time...
Food cravings/aversions? Just being a piggy. Everything sounds good all the time. I scare myself.
Gender? ???
Belly button? In for a long time
What I miss? Nothing this week. :)
What I am looking forward to: My OB appointment today!!
Milestones: We officially GRADUATED from the RE! AND I found baby's heart beat on the doppler last night. AMAZING!!!!
That is so exciting that you graduated from your RE!! What doppler did you get?
