There's the baby!

Today C went in for an early ultrasound. According to the doctor, she is about 7 weeks 6 days pregnant. The baby measured 8 weeks 2 days though and is 1.53cm long with a heart rate of 171bpm. Those are all good things and the risk of losing this pregnancy is down once again to < 5%. After having been in that 5% before, it's hard not to see yourself going there again, but we take one day at a time. So far, things are looking good.

C's lying here snoozing away as I write this. She's been a lot more tired with this pregnancy and has had more symptoms overall, I think. Yesterday we saw our midwife for the first time this pregnancy. We were lucky enough to get the same midwife as last time - we're all about the familiar, you see.

So we continue to go day by day - finding the little joys as we go along - and try to enjoy this pregnancy as much as possible. We haven't told anyone yet and plan to keep it that way until the Christmas holidays. We'll be around the 11 week mark by then.

We were home in mid-November and S had some questions from C's stepmother about when we were going to start trying again. S has a feeling she already knows C's pregnant, but neither of us spilled the beans. She'll be so surprised :)
