AW: I have an Itty Bitty Baby

This morning was a bit of a clusterfluck including an expired RE referral, a forgotten wallet, and a sick me. But in true Xmas spirit, the day was redeemed by the incredible generosity and kindness of two amazing strangers, a pretty fabulous doctor, and a GREAT u/s Big Smile

Gestational Sac & yolk sac @ 5w4d - measure just about that. RE said I should be a very happy girl, and I AM. That's 3rd milestone in the bag!! (still a ways to go to the next one though...) I go back next week, hoping to see a heartbeat

He asked me how aggressive I want to be and I said VERY!! We of course continue with the Baby Aspirin, the Lovenox, and the upped progesterone of 400mg 2x a day. I watch this new doctor discuss with 2 other MD's (and MFM and the big head honcho of the clinic) about additional drugs, and they ruled one drug potential as absolutely unnecessary, but have added another one as precautionary. It's Medrol (?) which is apparently used for diabetes but also helps to suppress the auto-immune system. I'll be on it until 12w.


And, I can't wait for my mother to unwrap her gift tomorrow - especially since she's been trying to pawn off a hot-toddy on me to try and soothe my soar throat. DH & I decided no matter the outcome of this, this pregnancy deserves all the hub bub and excitement of a first, so we'll stick the picture of our little turtle egg in this, and wrap it with a pretty bow Big Smile
