10 Weeks

On August 23rd we had our 10 week appointment.  I had worried a little bit about this appointment because I knew I would be attending it alone and for some silly reason I felt like that would jinx our pregnancy.  Steve is my rock, he calms my nerves in that waiting room and not having him there made me feel so alone and vulnerable.  Off I went to the ultrasound room to see Teddy for the 3rd time.

Good news once again!  Teddy continued to measure ahead at 10weeks 5days with a heartbeat of 173 beats per minute.  Relief washed through me and Teddy danced inside.  For a long time I felt if I made it to 10 weeks things were really going to be happening and in 6-7 months we would have our Rainbow Baby safe in our arms.

Teddy at 10weeks 5 days and dancing!
