Today we got to see our new baby again and this time we heard his/her heartbeat!
Dan was super calm before and I was too up until my wait in the ultrasound room. It was the longest 10 minutes of my life waiting for Dr. K to come in after I got ready for my ultrasound.

| Right before the ultrasound...can you tell I am just a little anxious? |
Dr. K quickly sensed my nerves and got right to the ultrasound and was fast to point out the beating heart of our new baby!
I felt so many feelings during those few minutes: I was excited and so very relieved to see a heartbeat, I was sad we lost the other two babies although not surprised considering my low BETA numbers, I was exhausted from the emotional toll of the day, I was thankful that our miracle baby had made it this far when he/she wasn't even supposed to survive being thawed, and still nervous about this baby's future. I am totally spent after this day. It was a wonderful day and we are so thankful!

After our ultrasound we made the drive back across town and had a nice late lunch before we headed back to pickup Lena at my parent's house. Our next ultrasound is in a few weeks on January 6th when I will be 9w1d. It will likely be my last appointment before I get released to my OB/GYN and also when I get to stop taking my daily injections!

| Shack Baby #2 has a heartbeat of 122bpm. |

| Our baby is measuring 6 weeks and 3 days at 7.4mm. |
