Going to See the Doc

Well, the long awaited days is almost here. Three weeks ago tomorrow, we were staring at two little lines and wondering what in the &%$#@* our future held. Little did we know that we would have to wait three whole weeks to go visit the doctor to get everything confirmed and make sure everything is A-OK. I can honestly say that it has been the longest three weeks of our lives!!

We've got several questions for Dr. Bannister, ranging from stuff like pregnancy diet (Leah has never really been a breakfast person) to the fact that she currently has an apparent sinus issue and coughs so hard until she gags sometimes. Which is frustrating for her. And being in her first trimester, there is a laundry list of medicines and remedies that are off limits (most of them, actually).

We'll also have an ultrasound done to detect how many heartbeats (the good answer here is ONE). It's simply amazing to me how a teeny tiny, 7-week only embryo who weighs only .04 oz has a heartbeat. But bottom line is that if were to be having twins, then we will know Monday. This is standard procedure for anyone taking fertility medicine. And the fact that I will be able to hear my child's heartbeat for the very first time is incredible. So much of this is still a bit surreal....but I'm sure it'll become a lot more real on Monday morning at 10:00AM. After Leah's full exam. : )
