Caitlin is going to be a big sister!



Yup, you read that right! (if there is even anyone reading anymore!) Caitlin is going to have a little sister in October. The ultrasound picture is from the NT scan around 12 weeks.

After the chemical pregnancy in December, I needed to take a break from blogging and step back. But, we did continue on and do a frozen embryo transfer with our last embryo on January 27th! Dr. Schoolcraft did suggest we transfer two embryos and do a fresh cycle. When I explained, our goal was one healthy baby and to save whatever sanity I had, he agreed that if we wanted to transfer one embryo that we use the last frozen one. I really felt like it was a long shot being the embryo quality was as bad as it can get. I will never forget what he told me at the transfer though. He said, those 2/3 embryos can surprise you! (2/3 is the grade of the embryo) and sure enough it did.

I did have symptoms that I was pregnant all week but I did with the chemical pregnancy too so I really was apprehensive. It was a bumpy 1st trimester with the gestational sac measuring significantly behind (even though the fetal pole was measuring fine) and my OB mentioning miscarriage. But, I am now 25 1/2 weeks! Everything is looking good now and we are moving right along. I have my next appointment on Monday with the OB and I hope to have a c-section date then!
