Dubious Data?

Karna went in for her first doctor's appointment and we are now officially, medically pregnant. I am thrilled, but ultimately it's a mixed experience for me for a few reasons:
  • I am ecstatic for the verification (but I didn't really need it).
  • The Doctor did an ultrasound and only saw one baby, we were hoping for twins.
  • The baby's already got a heart rate of 118 beats per minute! This is really exciting.
  • I missed the first ultrasound. This has me really quite upset, we though this appointment would just be blood draws.
  • The doctor told Karna she shouldn't tell anyone she's pregnant because of her high risk for spontaneous abortion. He even gave her a prescription for progesterone to boost her hormone levels so her body doesn't reject the pregnancy.

So the ultimate outcome is that we are pregnant and so far everything looks great. I am thrilled! I guess more than anything else I will be more conscious of the road were on and not take anything for granted.

I will keep you updated. Love to all,
Ty
