Today we went in for yet another scan. Wasn't really expecting to see anything but we saw the most amazing thing in the world.
DP describes our little bean as a hedgehog but heyho, we saw the heartbeat. It was so clear and strong, really beautiful and unbelievable, the sonographer didn't even need to point it out to us.
The day before we'd had the most unbelievable fight and I was still fuming this morning and wasn't really talking to him when we went to the hospital so I was not really looking forward to it. Once we saw our baby, I burst into tears like a twat and he followed suit. The fight was forgotten and I couldn't wipe the smile off my face, even though morning sickness really kicked into today.
I'm so happy at the moment, I feel like I'm floating.
Little Bean measured 14.1 mm and apparently 7w4d so he's rather big for his age apparently.
Just thought I'd share this as we haven't told people yet and I'm bursting to tell.
Oh Ellana, I'm so excited for you. I still remember seeing my first bubba by u/s - I was dated as 6w5d but had thought I was only just on 6w based on LMP. I had been bleeding so had the u/s to check all was well. My ob was away and her fill in was lovely - he saw the huge smile on my face when we saw the heartbeat and said that I had just made his day.
It is such a special time -treasure it, even through the m/s - believe me, you will miss it later! And it gets better - wait until you see the baby on u/s at 12w or 19w - it will look so amazing to you yet again. These moments truly are precious and all the more so during the upheaval of all those pesky pg hormones.
Gracie - absolutely amazing. I don't normally cry that easily but that just blew me away. I kinda thought that I'd imagined the BFPs I know I know it sounds crazy but just have been sooo worried
MelanieR - I can't wait I really can't. My sonographer is Australian believe it or not funny old world, she was lovely and even though she probably does it a hundred times a day she made it feel like it was the first time she'd seen it too without being patronising, she was smiling as I kept turning to DP and saying "honey can you see the heart beat? OMG can you see it? oh look at the little heart", he was crying like a baby. I know we shouldn't, but as we were going home, we stopped by a shopping centre to get a drink and he insisted we go into a sports shop and look at baby trainers because he's v v sporty and is desparate for a boy so he can teach him to play football! we bought the cutest baby man sandals!
Later that day he went to watch his team play football with his bro and dad, he sent me a pic of the pitch, and then texted me asking if he could buy a footie kit!
Think it's just made it real for him like Gracie said. He's such a cutie, he's joking around about dressing bubba in hoodies
How cute of your DH Ellana! I know exactly what you mean about imagining the BFP - I was the same. I kept thinking how embarrassing would it be if I had made a huge mistake! I think it's the pg at work already fuzzying your brain! Get used to it!! LOL
