Our ultrasound on Wednesday went very well. Dan and I were SO NERVOUS before our appointment but as soon as we saw the heartbeat on the screen we were so relieved. Baby Shack is measuring right on track (three days early actually but that is normal) at 10 weeks 1 day. He/she measured 28.8 mm and had a heartbeat of 180 beats per minute which we got to hear again. We were able to see Baby Shack moving around and sucking his/her thumb. In the two short weeks since our last ultrasound Baby Shack has more than doubled in size and now is getting fuzz on the skin, nails on the little fingers, and other detailed features. Check out the photos and video that Dan shot during our appointment!
Wednesday's appointment was our last with Dr. K. I have been released to my ob/gyn and will hope to have an appointment when I am 12 weeks pregnant. Saturday will also be my last PIO and delestrogen shots! Dan is VERY happy about that, even more than me. Another great thing about Wednesday was that Dan and I were able to have a great visit with
James and Christina who are also in town this week working with Dr. K. It was wonderful to swap stories and connect with another couple in person who has experienced embryo adoption.

That little washing machine sound is the most incredible sound. Brought big smiles and tears watching it! And isn't it so amazing to see that little cutie just living their life in there while they're doing so much growing.Rolling, kicking and thumb sucking - that's the life. :)
