Table for Three

So today I am considered 5weeks and 5 days. I know it is still early, but we had some reassurance today. We had an ultrasound and were able to see the gestational sac, and it was in the correct place! So all the worries of an etopic pregnancy were alleviated, and I was graduated from the RE's office, it was a big day for us. We did however find out that only one of the embryos survived, and as blessed that we are to know we are having a baby after only one IVF cycle, it is still hard to come to terms with the fact that we essentially lost one of the babies. I know that it is God's plan for us to have one baby, and in a way I am relieved to know we will only have to provide for one baby. So with mixed emotions I do have to say that it was an amazing thing to be able to see little Almond all sung inside of my belly. I am excited for all of the symptoms to come, yes even the bad ones. It is a funny thing to want to experience all of the bad symptoms, and I know all you mom's out there are probably thinking I am nuts, but I don't want to miss anything. I want to experience everything and know that we are progressing just as we should be. I know that if I have horrible morning sickness I will be complaining like a baby, and poor James will be loosing his mind. So far all of my symptoms have been pretty mild and not really intrusive into my daily schedule. The only thing that is really hard for me, is how tired I have been. I even had to leave the mall today because I just wanted to go home and take a nap. That is saying a lot for me!

I follow up with my regular OB in about a week and a half, and hopefully I will have more to update. Thank you everyone for your prayers they really mean a lot to us!
