Final Trip to Arizona at 8 Weeks

A whole month ago, Caryn blogged HERE about our final trip to Arizona.

We were all kind of hoping that both embryos had taken, and that we would have 2 babies on the way. There was one. There was about a second and a half of disappointment, and then just pure joy that one took. I could go on and on analyzing why we wanted 2, and why 1 is better, but we have a healthy baby growing, and that is just a MIRACLE!!

Unfortunately, Brian was unable to go with us on that trip, but I recorded the whole thing, and we watched it together when I got home. The "gummy bear" was so active. It was just so exciting to see. The heartbeat is perfect! We actually never got the audio on it, but we could see the actual heart beating.

Caryn and I were so happy to be able to see everyone that we had been working with for the last year at the clinic. We almost missed Dr. Nemiro, but we caught him just as he was between patients. I saw him down the hall and said "You want to see a picture of our baby!?" So glad we were able to thank each of them for everything that they had done, and looking forward to sending a birth announcement to them. One of the nurses, was very sad that Brian didn't get to come. She loves his car, and was disappointed to not be able to talk about it one more time. Haha!

From the time they froze the embryos, they all liked to rub in that, because of the genetic testing, they knew what the embryos were (male/female) and we didn't. We decided that we would wait until a normal ultrasound would be able to show. Since there was only one, Caryn and I decided just out of curiosity we would ask if they put in one of each or 2 of the same. Either answer would not tell us what it was. Turns out they put in one of each. So, even the nurses, doctors, and embryologist don't know which one is growing in there!

In these pictures, (I don't know if you can tell) the babies head is at the bottom. Baby is 8 Weeks and 1 day. Due date is April 8th.

Just so excited!!! Speechless! Enjoying every moment!
