All was well at this morning's ultrasound. Bun Bun has grown the right amount, is sporting a head (Sweet! Definitely going to need that later in life!), some fine lookin' limb buds, and a heart beating away at an appropriate rate. I got to say goodbye to my RE. I told him how grateful we were and he was like, I'm a freaky little doctor man and don't know how to deal with human emotions, despite the fact that I do it all damn day! He gave me a hug, patted my knee, and then patted the top of my head. I don't know, man. But the end result is that I have to find a fucking OB. Holy shit.
There's a long way to go, and I'm not going to take a single day for granted. But I have to confess that while part of me is still so very scared, a much larger part of me believes this is going to work out. Foolhardy? Perhaps. But I'm sick and tired of protecting my heart. I'm ready to live a little!
That's how I feel today, anyway.
Awesome news Bunny!! I'm so happy to hear that Bun Bun is growing and thriving. I echo your feelings about being sick and tired of protecting your heart and wanting to live a little. I'm in the same boat ... but have days where the fear creeps back in and I feel i'm being too cocky...
ReplyDeleteWe're both so close to that magical 2nd trimester ... the weeks can't go by fast enough!
That's so great, Bunny! I can't tell you how incredibly happy I am for you. This is going to work out, for sure. You deserve this happiness.
ReplyDeleteBun Bun must look so cute with a head and limb buds. Sweetness.
ReplyDeleteremove the heart shroud with glee. Not foolhardy. Just human and beautiful.
Yeah for you! That is the way I feel and what I have been trying to do (Usually, successfully until just before appointments) :)
ReplyDeleteyaay, bun bun is alive and thriving!!!!!!!!! i think seeing the heartbeat for the second time was the reassurance you needed. that's how i feel and i won't be able to relax until i get to that point. which is WEEKS away. ugh.
ReplyDeletefear is natural. but i just know that this is going to turn out perfectly and in 7-ish months, you'll finally be able to meet the little one :o)
Yay!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWoo to the hoo! It's aliiiivvee! :) Take the bubble wrap off of your heart, Bunny. For reals. Live in this, girl. If there's any worthwhile assvice (oxymoron?) I can give you, it's to dwell in the hope and joy of this time. Yup.
ReplyDeleteAw! That's fantastic. Go forth and enjoy it bunny - it has been long in the coming.
ReplyDeleteHurray!
Wonderful news!!!!!!! Go Bun Bun, go!
ReplyDeleteI love your living with hope attitude, it ROCKS!!! xo
I don't think it's foolhardy. Not even remotely. The odds are very squarely on your and Bun Bun's side in this. It's wonderful news, Bunny. Live. Breathe:)
ReplyDeleteYay!!!! So glad Bun Bun is doing so well. You're not foodhardy at all...this is it for you! Congrats, my friend.
ReplyDeleteShite. I just tried to comment and got an error message. Trying again (symbolic much?)... yay yay yay for Bun Bun!!! I am so happy for you! You are not being foolhardy at all. Enjoy this!!!!
ReplyDeleteFantastic news, Bunny!! I'm so glad little bun bun is growing well and all looks perfect. i think this is it :-)
ReplyDeleteTry to enjoy!
That is awesome. It's kind of crazy when you start seeing it actually looking very baby like -- way less theoretically leading to a real live baby when it starts to look like one!
ReplyDeleteI say Relax. Enjoy. Live a little and even buy a really comfy pair of pants with an elastic waist. I wish I had been a bit less of a basket case the first trimester, but I chalk that up to the fact that I am old and so many more things can go wrong at my age. But you should totally revel in this time. You totally deserve it.
HOORAY for Bunny, Bun Bun, and Mr. B! Such terrific stuff. And the knee and head pats? Silly little man indeed.
ReplyDeleteyay! yipee! so excited for you! We are pretty much at the same stage in our pregnancies! Hope all continues to go well...I'm sure it will! YAY for you!
ReplyDeleteI am thrilled for the soon to be not-so-glums and now happy Bunnies! It's on!
ReplyDeleteI know that hope is hard after so many days of disappointment, but I say it's time to let loose and feel good. This is solid news and you deserve to believe in this good fortune. Fabulous news! Congratulations.
That's great news, Bunny!
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for sharing your RE's capabilities in dealing with, well, people.
Yay! I'm so happy to hear this.
ReplyDelete:) such happy news.
ReplyDeleteBun Bun lives! Long live Bun Bun! So, so happy for you and Mr. Bunny and, naturally, Bun Bun (who has a completely awesome Mommy)!
ReplyDeleteOh yay!!!! This is wonderful! So happy for you!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome news and I am thrilled for you. Doing a happy dance! ;)
ReplyDeleteWHOOOO HOOOOO!!!!!!! you've graduated, I'm so proud of you and Bun Bun, when I graduated from my RE I allowed myself to buy a small toy at this very expensive toy store that I had to walk by every time I went to my REs office. It was kinda awesome.
ReplyDeleteHurrah!!!! I am so very happy for you, Bunny. :) Now let loose and enjoy.
ReplyDeleteGreat news!!
ReplyDeleteYeah! I am so happy to hear this news!
ReplyDeleteMy little graduate. All grown up and showing her cooch to someone new.
ReplyDeleteWop bop a lu bop!
ReplyDeleteYay, go enjoy yourself Bunny. I don't think its foolhardy of you at all. You have no reason to think that things won't progress perfectly from now on. All is well in your world and long may it stay that way. Hugs to bun bun. xx
Yay! Congrats on an excellent u/s!
ReplyDeleteSorry I've taken so long to say congrats - my no internet except at work thing makes it hard to post comments in a timely fashion. GREAT news! {pat on head}.
ReplyDeleteAnd I honestly think it's going to work out too. You are past what seemed to be the danger zones in your other pregnancies - implantation. Now, at 9 weeks, you're all good (knock on wood for good measure).
