Jelly Bean is 7 Weeks 4 Days!

We had our second scan today and Jelly Bean is still doing great! He or she is still measuring a couple days ahead of schedule at 7 weeks 4 days and the little heart was beating away good and strong. Oh, and the mystery second sphere from last weeks’ scan was not visible at all today, so I’m now satisfied with the mirror image explanation from last week and we only have one sac and one baby which is just fine! With my history of HELLP Syndrome, it’s very dangerous for me to carry multiples so I’m actually very relieved.

7Weeks4Days

Dr K said everything looks really great. She even asked us if we wanted to move onto our regular OB from this point on. This was a natural pregnancy so I know some of the staff at Dr. K’s office are probably wondering what I’m doing there since she’s an RE and is really hard to book time with, but she was the first specialist I saw for Recurrent Pregnancy Loss and I just feel like I still need a little extra hand holding right now, so we decided to go back to Dr. K for one more scan in 2 weeks and then if all is good at that point, we’ll begin seeing Dr. S, my regular OB.

I’m so overwhelmed with feelings right now. I’m so hopeful, but also still really scared. With our loss last year, we had a good scan at 7 Weeks 2 Days, but then there was no heartbeat at the next scan and baby still only measured 7 weeks 2 days. So, even though we’ve made it this far, I’m still so nervous. But worrying will do me no good so for now, all I can do is hope and pray. This is a new pregnancy and yes, it could still go wrong, but it’s just as possible that this time it will be perfect. Today everything is perfect. I just have to keep focusing on that!

All of your amazing support is such a huge help too! Thank you so much!  And I want to say a very big thank you to Elisha from Waiting For Baby Bird! Yesterday morning, I checked my mail and got a special surprise from her that couldn’t have come at a better time! I was beginning to get very nervous for my scan today and her incredibly thoughtful gesture and words made me feel so much better!

I wasn’t thinking when I opened the envelope and just tore it open and then realized there was this message on the back:

Card1Miracles Happen to Those Who Believe

I do! I really, really do believe!

Card1-2

Thank you so much Elisha for this beautiful card and for reminding me to not let my fear take over my faith. I know God is watching out for me and will be with me no matter what happens 🙂

Thank you Elisha. Thank you Everyone!

    1. Yikes! I just realized that I somehow accidentally unfollowed you! I didn’t mean too! I’m so glad you commented here and I realized it!

      Thank you so much! Your scan is tomorrow right? Everything is crossed for you!

      1. Glad you re-found me! We aren’t pregnant at the moment, just lost baby number 4 in March and just having some more testing done and re-done. But, soon enough we will be trying again. 🙂

        Keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you!!!

    1. Thanks hon. I know! I was so shocked and touched by Elisha’s thoughtfulness. It was such a perfect gift to receive this week.

  1. I am so thrilled for your wonderful news! I know it’s scary and your fear is warranted, but I really, really do have a great feeling about this baby and pregnancy. Sending you heaps of love, hope and peaceful thoughts to help you through the next two weeks when you’ll get more great news pre-graduation to Dr. S.

  2. KEEP THIS GOOD NEWS COMING!! So happy to hear you had another great US. I can’t help but think Holdon along with all your other angels have something to do with this. Hugs friend.

    1. I’m holding back a few tears! I think you may be right. I can’t tell you how much your support means to me hon, especially when you’ve had such a hard week. I am channeling all the love and support I have been receiving and sending it to you. Praying so hard things turn around for you in June. Big hug back!

      1. So, it’s been 3 days so that means you are 8 weeks!! Seriously rooting for you right now! Hugs. Stay strong! I just wanted to let you know that I’m thinking about you today and I said a prayer.

        1. Oh hon, thank you so much! When I saw 8 weeks, I immediately got emotional and tears sprang into my eyes. It’s so hard to believe. If all is still going well with Jelly Bean, this will be the longest I’ve made it in pregnancy since I was 8 weeks pregnant with Holdon in 2009. I’m so happy and so scared all at the same time. I’m afraid to let my guard down, but of course, I already have. Your prayers mean so much!

          You are constantly in my thoughts and prayers too. I know with all these set backs and delays you’ve had, it feels so uncertain, but I just know your rainbow baby is coming soon too. Big hug my friend.

  3. Absolutely thrilled for you and keeping you in my thoughts and prayers! Hang in there. Doubt can creep in at very unsuspecting times but you have such a great outlook. Yay! Love it, I am so excited!!

    1. Thanks so much hon! I hope you and your hubby enjoyed your vacation down here, and so glad the weather didn’t stay so ridiculously hot! Praying for you constantly!

  4. I’m incredibly hopeful for you, Jo! One day at a time. I’ve got everything I can possibly cross for you crossed, and you’re in my thoughts and prayers-hold on, sugar! Love you!

  5. I was so nervous checking this update I kept repeating “please be ok” over and over as the page was loading. And then I saw 7w4d and was all “YESSSSSSSS!” Thank God! 🙂 XOXO

    1. ? Thank you so much for your prayers hon! I was so scared going in there today and became so emotional when we saw the heartbeat again today. I have no idea how I’m going to wait out the next 2 weeks until the next scan. Ah! 2WWs never end! Speaking of, I’m on pins and needles for you too! Praying so hard you have a little embryo starting to implant and getting good and cozy! Big hug!!

  6. Such amazing news, over the moon to see this update! I know it is so very scary but you are doing great and baby measuring ahead sounds like a fabulous sign to me. Sending continued love for the next two weeks and another perfect scan!

    1. Thank you so much hon! I’m so overwhelmed with emotion too. The next 2 weeks until my next scan are going to be so hard! I’m starting to let my guard down and it’s really freaking me out!

  8. OMG!!! Soooo exciting! Over the moon for you guys!! You deserve all the happiness this little one will bring you…..keep Faith my friend!!
