Well....it was ONE perfect baby with a perfect beating heart! We are ecstatic! The other two sacs are still there, but hadn't grown much in two weeks.
I know some of you were excited at the prospect of more, and some of you even want more than one for yourselves, but for us, we were REALLY routing for one. Primarily because I will be a high risk pregnancy no matter what with all my issues, and adding multiples to that only increases the risk. We are relieved that I won't be bumped up to an even higher risk category. Secondly because we are still quite unstable
financially due to the fact that I have been out of work for the better part of the past 3 years from all of my many surgeries surgeries and fertility treatment complications. We could certainly swing one right now, but 3 would pretty much doom us financially. Especially since no schools
are hiring and dh has yet to be able to find a university position in 3 years since getting his masters. Right now he's working at an art auction house moving art. If we had a say and I wasn't facing a hysterectomy
I cannot tell you how happy I am that it is one. I was secretly rooting for you that it would be 1 healthy baby. I know so many women that carried multiples and had complications. Yay! Congrats and big hugs!!
CONGRATULATIONS on your one perfect little baby! I totally understand your reasoning for wanting one. I'm high-risk too. In the beginning, though, I was still kinda open to the thought of having twins...you know, an instant little family
considering you were told there might be a MC, this is an amazing comeback. now you will be responsible for helping the next group of ladies who are told to give up too early in the process. the baton has been passed. good luck :)
OHHHH YEAAA!!!!! Congratulations and tons of baby dust and good luck to you all:)
On a small note: Apparently I have 2 fresh embryos and one frozen for my transfer tomorrow. They did not tell me anything about their quality but I home they implant... at least ONE!!!! That is all I want!!!
