So on Friday at 17 wks and 2days we had an appt where the dr. was actually able to find all 3 lines and tell us "It's a Girl". Now she knows we did PGD but she knows that we really wanted confirmation. She wrote "I am a girl" on some of the u/s pictures. I loved that!!
We went and told our parents...they were thrilled. Oh course my mom is the only person we have told about the PGD so she knew but she couldn't "Know" in real life until Friday!
It was SOOOO exciting to tell everyone it is a girl! I honestly fell way weirder than I ever thought I would. Even though we have spent almost $30000 on this it still doesn't feel totally real. I told DH that and he said it feels real everytime he pays the bill! lol. We had the money for the fresh cycle all saved up. That was the bulk of it. However, the $5000 for the FET we didn't have saved up so we are having to pay it off. No interest right now...yippi!!
So it was nice getting to see the baby moving around, those 3 lines!!!, and her little heartbeat. The boys were there too and they enjoyed seeing it. My 4 yr old said "I have a sister?" He was very happy. For some reason he really wanted it to be a sister.
My next appt is for the BiG u/s, the anatomy scan. It is right before Thanksgiving. It will be nice to really focus on the health of the baby and not be waiting to hear gender. Wow...that sounds terrible out loud but you know what I mean....
I have been feeling the baby move since about 15 1/2 wks. At first it felt like she was "rolling" around. Then a week or so later I felt more of the jabs...the ones that feel more like kicks. I feel her at least once a day. Normally at night after I am being very still in the bed. This morning I felt her moving around right after I had some apple cider. I guess it was a lot of sugar in her little body!
