Hey ladies! Just wanted to give a quick update! I had my first appt. with OB yesterday! It went well.. the baby is measuring 9wks 6 days (which is what I had it marked as (today is 10wks)!!! The heartbeat was strong and you could see it flickering on the monitor!!! I will go back for monthly appt.'s from this point!!

I also just want to send an encouraging word to EVERYONE that your BFP's will be soon (I know that this is not the thing that ANYONE wants to hear, but patience is the most valuable "lesson" I learned from ALL OF THIS).
I know it can happen for each and every one b/c it FINALLY happened for me... (and believe me it is still very unbelievable) I hope that this does not anger anyone, I promise I am just trying to be supportive and encouraging!!!

BABY DUST TO EVERYONE!!!!
Sarah

Sarah- I'm so happy for you! And thanks for the encouraging words....I got all teary-eyed when I read them! I guess I really needed to some extra encouragement today! It's so hard not to get discouraged in all this! So here's a special , from me.

Glad the appt went well, Sarah! You're so right, we each have a lesson that we learn from this experience. Mine was to appreciate the things/people I have more than I did - and I thought I already appreciated them, till I went through IF - then I knew what true appreciation was. I also cherish my older children more and Ava. I don't take any moment for granted with her, like I did when the boys were growing up. I'm sure the ladies here will take your words in the kind spirit in which you gave them. Keep coming around and updating us.
