7 Weeks 6 Days: One Healthy Baby

One Healthy Baby!




The twin didn't make it, which leaves me feeling a bit conflicted, but I'm overjoyed about this one healthy baby. The heartbeat was 175 bpm—a big jump from last week's 130. Still very much a blob, but a blob with a little more shape now.



Ava thinks it looks like a baby dinosaur, which...yeah, kind of! lol. Our photo album is already off to an awesome start with all these super early photos.



I really want to write about the emotional side of all this, but I'm still in the survival stage of early pregnancy. All my extra energy goes toward playing with my kids. Soon!

7 Weeks 2 Days: Ultrasound Follow-Up

No spotting, so that's good. Follow-up ultrasound on Friday to do another head/heartbeat count and check on the cyst and subchorionic hemorrhage.

Just a little backstory...last week at 6w3d, I had an ultrasound that saw two yolk sacs, two fetal poles, and one heartbeat (130bpm). Most likely a vanishing twin, but it's possible the second heart just hadn't started beating yet. We will see.

I'm feeling pretty good about everything today, not too stressed. Whatever will be will be, right? I'll probably be a mess tomorrow. =)
