Our First Couple of Ultrasounds

Seeing Baby Craig for the first time was so amazing. We had had so many ultrasounds with my endometriosis surgery that it was unreal looking up at the big screen and seeing a tiny baby there. The first ultrasound was done at 6 weeks and the baby was so small that we could barely see him/her! It was done to make sure that the baby was healthy, had implanted in the uterus, and to see how many babies there were. We conceived naturally and so the chance of twins was very low, but I was still hopeful! :) We were so thankful to see a tiny little heart beating on the sonogram. The next sonogram was done at 8 weeks where we got to hear the heartbeat, and then the final sonogram was done at 10 weeks where we saw our baby dancing! (Watch video in lower post). I love the pictures below because they capture my joy at being pregnant. We saw our infertility doctor for the first ten weeks of pregnancy for closer monitoring of our pregnancy because those with endo in their past have higher chances of ectopic pregnancies (meaning that the baby implants in the fallopian tubes instead of the uterus). It was so amazing to go to the infertility clinic and not be upset about infertility stuff. I still can't believe we are pregnant. Our baby is such a little miracle!!!
