11w5d

Last week my progesterone increased to a 21 and hence my RE stopped the PIO shots and he also decided that I am ready to move on to my OB. I managed to convince him for one last ultrasound and today we saw a beautiful healthy baby inside me. The minute I saw the screen I was sure I was seeing an already stored image or something. Both me and my husband weren't sure that it was the image of TicTac because it has grown so much in the past 2 weeks. It kept moving the whole time and so it was very difficult for the tech to get the heart rate. After sometime she was able to measure it at 160beats/min. It kept moving its hands and legs the whole time. Both me and my husband were so much in awe and kept looking at the screen and so I never asked for the CRL measurement or my cervical length. The baby measured at 12w and so I guess it was all good. She also said that the placenta and the umbilical cord looked good. Again we have it all on video which means I will be keep watching it again and again. It was too early to find out the gender but both me and my husband feel its a boy. We will know for sure in another 8 weeks. Next Tuesday is my first OB appointment and I still don't have a clue what to ask them. I will try and make up a list of questions over the weekend.

Pregnancy wise the symptoms are still the same. Nausea in the morning and evening and ankle swelling in the evenings. I am hoping that the nausea will resolve in the next couple of weeks. I am so thankful to be here and I am sure I wouldn't be here without the support of you guys. Since I will be 12 weeks on Sunday we have decided to tell the news to our friends then. I will be real busy the next 2 weeks with the holidays and work. We are having a Christmas party at home for about 12 people and so planning and cooking for it is going to take a lot of my time. I will try and update after my OB visit on Tuesday.
