OUR BABY IS 4 WEEKS OLD, ABOUT THE SIZE OF A SESAME SEED.
THE BRAIN, SPINE, AND CIRCULATORY SYSTEM HAVE STARTED TO FORM.
Welcome to my blog :) This is my first post and today marks 4 weeks in this dubious little journey called Pregnancy. We are excited but cautious because we are coming off of a miscarriage. Back on August 25th I had a natural miscarriage at 10 weeks. Actually, the fetus died around 6 weeks 2 days, and we found out at our first ultrasound at 8 weeks - it was measuring way to small, and there was no heartbeat. Then nature took it's own course. It was disappointing, but we have moved on and started TTC (trying to conceive) again right away. On only the 2nd cycle after the miscarriage we found ourselves pregnant again! When I took that first test and saw the result... "Pregnant"... I can't tell you how excited I was! And thrilled that it didn't take very long. But of course, because of our previous experience, we are extra cautious this time. I find myself trying to not get my hopes up too high. I have worries in the back of my head that it could happen again. But what I try to keep at the forefront are all the positive thoughts I have about the new baby. I also try to stay calm and unstressed, keeping a peaceful outlook for the sake of the baby. I am beyond excited to become a mother! This is something I have dreamed about all my life. We are hoping and praying for a healthy baby to welcome into this world next August.
Our little bugger is due August 13th, 2013!!
