The 2nd Look at Baby Finley

On yesterday DH and I had our 2nd and last sono with our RE, and it was a bittersweet moment. She (RE) has been in our lives for the past 14 months helping us to get to where we are today, with the help of God. She's been there through the ups, downs, highs, and lows. Nonetheless, I was excited and nervous about seeing the baby because there's always some anxiety for me the day of our sonograms, as I just want the baby to be fine!

However, it is a great feeling to know that we're finally expecting our miracle, rainbow baby after suffering two ectopic miscarriages six months a part (August 2011 & February 2012), and looking forward to a happy and healthy 9 months. It's crazy when we think back and remember that our little predestined miracle began life as a 5 day hatching blastocyst before transfer (picture below).

He/she has grown soo much and beautifully since our first look two weeks ago, and we're extremely grateful. During our 1st sono at 6 weeks, 6 days he/she was really teeny tiny. As of yesterday, 8 weeks, 6 days, he/she has grown much bigger! We could definitely tell the difference in size, so the baby is growing as it should which is awesome! The RE joked around with DH and I stating " I think it's going to be a fat boy, so tell your dad to look for a grandson." I spoke with my dad before the sono, and he says he believe it's going to be a boy. I, however, feel that it's a girl....who knows! In a few more months we'll know, and I cannot wait! Well, there's the 2nd photo of our little one. I think you can see little arms and legs, too! I'm officially off and released to my OBGYN on Monday, August 27th!
