Houston, We Have a Heartbeat!
One, beautiful, beating heart. In this picture the black blob is the gestational sac and the white blur between the cursor signs is our baby measuring only .47cm. The sorrow at losing one embryo pales in comparison to seeing a living, beating heart thriving inside of me. It was simply overwhelming! Our baby measured at 6w1d, so my maturation age due date is 2/16. I’ll explain more about this when I figure out what the heck it means. For now I’m just going to bask in the glory of...
