We have officially graduated from UCSD! Here is our certificate to prove it, signed by all of the nurses and doctors who have helped us along the way.
What an amazing yet scary feeling to be officially released from their care. We no longer have to drive all the way to La Jolla several times a week, yay! I no longer have to do injections each and every night around 6:00, double yay!!
On the other hand, we are really going to miss all of the wonderful people we got to see on a regular basis. It has been the most amazingly positive experience and we are so very thankful to have been able to get treatment from THE BEST.
Our ultrasound was nothing short of amazing. I am now nine weeks and the baby is the size of a cherry or grape. We got to hear the heartbeat loud and clear at 175 beats per minute. Overwhelming joy.
In the picture the baby was in a bit of a sideways position so it is difficult to see but the left circle area is the head (at this stage the head does take up almost half of the body...or that could just be the fact that we have huge heads in our family...) The right circle area in the rest of the body. The connecting line from left to right is the umbilical cord. The tiny little circle at the top of the screen is the yolk sac. Anyway, you are probably thinking, yeah sure it just looks like a white blob. Yes, I agree but a perfect miracle of a white blob. (:
We are blessed and so excited everything is going well.
I am still super tired and am experiencing a very unsettled stomach off and on throughout the day. I cannot eat anything warm for breakfast and have been a bit addicted to Raisin Bran. I eat it for breakfast and also have had it a few days after work as a mid-afternoon snack. It is delicious to me right now which is rare since I am normally not a cereal eater, let alone Raisin Bran.
I have also been craving sour candy. I have eaten a whole bag of Sour Gummy Worms and a pack of Sour Punch Straws in the past couple days. For some reason the sour seems to override my queasy stomach.
Headed to home fellowship to get our worship and bible study on! We are so lucky to serve such a loving God.
