So, there is a tiny amazing life inside of me. I hoped to have a picture, but the vaginal sonogram wasn't set up for this. On Wednesday, I'll have the "real" one and actually get a due date, although Dr. Wu does say he thinks I am about 8 weeks along - given the size of my uterus.
It is hard to explain what we say, but there in black and white were two little pulsing dots. The heart beat of the child inside of me. Despite the fact that I don't really feel quite pregnant. Despite the fact that I still have all the worries of what could go wrong. It was OK for a crystal clear moment when the pregnant from the CVS stick became truly real.
Lots to start thinking about. Once we have the due date, we are going to start strategizing on when to tell people. The parents first. Then probably the Broadway Overlook crew. Then longer distance friends. Right now, we are leaning against an amniocentesis, but might get genetic counseling just to get more information. I think we are in this no matter what, so I am not sure what getting the amnio would add - other than the stress of the potential it has for causing miscarriage. I don't want a needle near my little bean, unless there is a really good reason to do it.
