I had my follow up ultrasound on Monday to make sure that I had passed the gestational sac and all seems well. We’ll have a meeting with my doctor when we get back from our trip (oh yeah, by the way we’re leaving tomorrow for two weeks in Europe!), and at that time I’ll also have an hCG blood test to make sure my levels have dropped. I was kind of glad on Monday when he said that he wasn’t going to bother doing one this week. He was satisfied enough that things were progressing as they should when he saw the sac was gone. I’d rather leave on our trip blissfully ignorant of my hCG level - just assume that it is dropping as it should and not give it another thought for the next two weeks.
He also gave me a very nice rah-rah speech about how confident he is that I am going to have a baby, it’s just a matter of when and how. He told me, “You are fertile.” That was nice to hear. Now there’s a part of me that’s like “Yeah! Damn straight I’m fertile! I’m gonna have me a baby!” Now it’s just a matter of how…
As I was sweeping up cat litter in the bathroom this morning, I had a bit of a vision where all of a sudden I thought to myself, “I’m not going to have a baby this year, but I am going to get pregnant this year”. It just sort of seemed like a done deal, like I’d made up my mind and that’s that. And I think it’s true. I think this year, and maybe that doesn’t mean “2008″, but the next twelve months, that I will get pregnant and I will have that baby.
But first I’m going to go to France with my husband. I’ll be posting pictures and updates from abroad, so check back!
À Bientôt!
