Sorry I didn't get to post the results right away. Got home kinda late on Tuesday and was pretty tired. Then last night our Internet decided to be lame. Booooo!
The good news is...everything went great at our second ultrasound! Everything is measuring just as it should be, the yolk sac looks good, the placenta is forming and most importantly we saw the heartbeat!!! It looked strong and beating fast at about 120. It was certainly surreal to say the least and the NP said everything looked "perfect". The experience was much more pleasant than last time and she explained everything wonderfully.
We are 8 weeks and one day today. It's really feeling real now. We are finally starting to experience the joy of this. I'm smiling spontaneously at the thought of future planning and getting chills when I think of what's to come! Our due date is May 23rd...Mr Bag's birthday!
Although I haven't officially heard from the RE's office, the NP released me to make an appt. with my OB. It's scheduled for 11/15 which will be towards the end of 12 weeks.
Still pinching myself even though it's feeling more real everyday.
In the interest of sensitivity and logic. I'll probably be starting a new blog to focus on where this journey is headed. I'll certainly put up a link so you can follow me there if you wish. In the meantime please take whatever you want from what I've written and know that it IS possible to have success on the IF journey! I write that with caution as we still have a long way to go until May but it's a level of success none-the-less. I hope you all are well out there and don't lose hope!!! xoxo

The Waiting Game
Ahhh the waiting game. You quickly realize after getting a BFP that the waiting doesn't end with just the 2ww...you then wait for the 2nd beta...the 3rd beta...the first u/s, then the second u/s etc..etc....etc...
We are now in between the first and second u/s. Originally we were going to have the second one this Thursday, but we decided to go to a different physician. After the underwhelming response from Dr. Charming we decided to reschedule the second u/s with the lovely NP that gave me my second shot back in May. We figured good or bad news it will be much more tolerable coming from her. The other upside is that her office is an hour and a half closer to where we live.
In the meantime we wait and twiddle our thumbs. Symptom wise the following is taking place:
1) Crazy hungry ALL THE TIME!
2) Peeing just about every hour
3) Starting to have some nausea (woke up last night at 2AM and thought I was going to hurl)
4) Very tired in the afternoons and evenings
5) Super bloated and have quite a pooch (my mom is convinced there's more than one in there..eeek!)
6) With the bloating comes lots of gas much to Mr. Bags displeasure...sorry honey! : P
7) Aches and pains in the lower abdomen along with periodic groin pain
8) BBS getting bigger and achy much to Mr. Bags delight...:)
I think that about sums it up for now. Thanks for all your lovely comments and support it means so much! It's finally starting to sink in that this might be really happening...but again I don't think I'll get really excited until 12 weeks.
