The one with the ultrasound

Yesterday, DH asked when we were going to have an US to see if there was actually a baby.  I was like “uh, it’s tomorrow…”  He totally forgot.  Then he said “Do you feel bad at all that this baby is already totally the “second baby” even though we haven’t even had an ultrasound yet?  […]

The one with the lying

Third beta was good!  I calculated what it should be and it was just over by a bit.  We have an US scheduled now for a week from Monday.  I’ll be 7w2d, so definitely late enough to see the heartbeat. So, by the time this is scheduled to post, this will already have happened and […]

Clementine’s sugars were low when […]
