12w today! Yay!


So, it appears I have made it to 12w safe and sound! I know it's real, but it's JUST NOT SINKING IN!!! I am so happy and relieved I can hardly put it into words!!
DP was soooo funny at the scan. I swear he thought it was still going to be a little blob of cells or something and then when it came onto the screen and it actually LOOKS like a little bubba, it just amazed him!
Bub moved and wriggled around the whole time!! It flipped from left to right, upside and down, facing us and then away! It was quite funny actually! Heart rate was 167 BPM whic was perfect and you could see all the limbs, knees, elbows, finger buds etc and it was gorgeous!
They did the Nuchal Fold test and the fold measured just under 1mm which he said combined with my age, puts me in the lowest risk category. Such wonderful news! Still have to confirm that with the blood tests I had done last week, but things certainly look hopeful.
It kept putting it's arms up and had it's little hands around it's head alot! At one point the ultrasonographer said, "Look! It's picking it's nose!!!" which DP and I both cracked up about! Certainly not MY trait!! lol!!
He checked my cervix on the ultrasound which he said was nicely closed up and looking perfect. Also my kidneys again and my ovaries and outside of the uterus, but everything was looking spot on.
I really couldn't have asked for a better scan to be honest. In a very big way, it feels unfair to have such a wonderful experience when my good friend Nanak had such an awful time last week. Things like that make me half feel guilty in a funny sort of way and makes me question again why sometimes things are so great for some, and rotten for others. But I know Nanak will have a wondeful time coming here way again shortly and I look forward to sharing her journey, along with my other FB TTC friends!!!
My Mum and Dad spent the morning ringing their siblings to share the wonderful news. My Dad rang his eldest sister first and he started crying and had to put my mum on the phone!!! My dad does not LOOK like a softie, but inside he's a big marshmallow! So cute!!
Anyway, that's enough for one day! I feel all I've done it think about this today!!! Oh well, I'm allowed to have ONE day focussing on it! It's been a lonnnnnng 8 weeks of worry!! Time to enjoy the moment! :)
