We are having a... embryo!

So sorry I haven't updated in awhile! I've been busy feeling super tired and sleeping every chance I get! :)  Almost three weeks ago we had our second ultrasound with our fertility doctor. When we went in for the ultrasound, our doctor told us that we were looking for growth. When he turned on the monitor we both said "Whoa!" We couldn't believe how big the baby had gotten! You can see the pic below - baby officially has a head... and a big butt.

Our doctor was very pleased with what he saw - we got to see the heartbeat again, so he released us to my regular OBGYN. 

I had that appointment almost a week ago. We did not think we were going to hear the heartbeat, so Chris did not come with me. My mom was there instead, but when we arrived, the doctor said we would try to find the heartbeat. We called Chris and he was able to hear it over the phone. Truly, it was the most amazing sound I have ever heard. Our doctor said that after hearing that strong heartbeat, our chances of miscarriage are as low as possible - less than 5%. That was the best news! Everything else went well during the appointment, and we go back in 4 more weeks. 

We will be 11 weeks pregnant tomorrow! I can't believe we're almost in the second trimester. The baby is moving around now (although I obviously can't feel it yet), and it has the start of teeth. It has defined hands and feet. I have been feeling OK. I have been nauseous a lot, but don't really throw up. The most intense symptom has been my fatigue which is totally nuts! I cannot believe how tired I am! 

Thank you so much for all your support. We feel so blessed to have such great family and friends who will love this baby! We will find out pink or blue in just 5 weeks on Nov 14 - Looking forward to that for sure!
