Paul and I are starting to come to terms with the thoughts that this may be our THB. Notice the caution in my words? While I feel a huge weight has lifted, milestone #2 is getting into the second trimester.

Overall Baby B is doing well, measuring a day ahead (must have done a lot of growing since last scan given that (s)he was 7w3d on my 7w6d scan. ) His/Her heartbeat was nice and strong at 163 same as last scan. This is a step in the right direction lets hope for continued good scans. Next scan is Friday, April 19th - my last RE appointment. Then I'll hopefully graduate to my OB on April 23rd.
