12w2d all is well

So we go in and do the genetic counseling thing again- and, it turns out, it was good to do since we decided on sequential screening.

Then, ultrasound.

I was so nervous this morning I did not eat, could not swallow, was aware only of my pounding heart and fluttery insides. Felt like crap, like crying, like going back to bed.

But, in we go.

The tech? the one, of course, from our miscarriage.

Ah.

So, I did the right thing, the best thing, told her so- (she had recognized us)-- and asked for the fastest possible positive feedback.

Moving! She said, and we cried.

All in all, it was the best possible ultrasound

everything looks GREAT

(fingers! face! blessed heartbeat!)

dead baby dreams last night so I was a wreck.

NT 1.2mm which is awesome.

Baby measuring 13w 1d, little over achiever, and moving all over the place.

Magical

wonderment

we are in awe.

I came out at work. So now they know everything. And maybe more important,

now I can breathe.

I'll write more wedding stuff soon, but wanted to give you this happy (relieved) update.
