9 Weeks

How far along: 9 Weeks

Total weight gain: None

Symptoms and Body Changes: I'm so so tired, all of the time.

Best moment of this week: We had to go in for an ultrasound due to some spotting. Everything is fine, but it was still amazing to see the baby. I don't think I'll ever get used to it.  Also, graduating from our RE was both a happy and sad moment. I'm glad that we've moved on, but also sad because I trust them so much and they've gotten us this far. It's like leaving someone behind.

Miss anything: Nope

Food cravings/aversions: GLUTEN...anything I haven't been able to eat the past year with gluten

Anything making you queasy or sick: Only when I don't eat for a few hours

Sleep: Same as past weeks.

Movement: Too early

Have you started to show yet: Too early

Maternity clothes:  Too early

Gender: Too early

Labor signs: Too early

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy

Milestones: Nothing this week.

Looking forward to: Telling our families in a few weeks!

Graduating from CCRM

What a weird feeling. I just got off the phone with our CCRM nurse with our results from our latest ultrasound and bloodwork...everything looks fabulous so they are officially graduating us to our OB and I cried.

Yes, I cried.

We've been with CCRM for 1 1/2 years and they are the reason we can now say we are pregnant for the first time ever. I'm still in shock and I can't believe it.

What an emotional day that I will never forget.  She said I get to go be a "normal pregnant" woman now.  I never thought I would see this day.

I'm going to miss our CCRM family. Greg and I enjoyed working with the entire staff, especially our nurses and Dr. M.

For anyone struggling with infertility, I would strongly recommend CCRM.

Miss anything: Bread...Dr. M cleared me to start eating gluten again, but I think I'm going to play it safe and wait until after the first trimester.

Food cravings/aversions: Same as before... I haven't really been wanting to eat much at night for dinner, but no real cravings or aversions.

1st Ultrasound

Today we went in for our first ultrasound.  It was emotional to say the least. I cried. Of course I cried.  We were able to see the flutter of a heartbeat at 121 bpm and the baby was measuring perfectly at 6w2d. It didn't look like much and I almost felt like Rachel from friends, but it was still amazing.
