We Have a Heartbeat!!!

Wow. What a day! Today we had our first ultrasound. We are officially 7 weeks and 2 days pregnant. Unfortunately, Allen had a meeting and could not be there but I met our wonderful surrogate, Lorisha, at Dr. Ringler’s office at 10 a.m. this morning. I was pretty nervous and I think Lorisha was too. This would be the day that we found out if we had a heartbeat. Lorisha is such a trouper. She has been so sick with morning, afternoon, and evening sickness! Hopefully, that will subside as she begins to decrease the medication she has been taking for the pregnancy.
It was very amazing. Dr. Ringler put the ultrasound wand in place and on the small TV screen he showed us the sack that held our baby and then the baby itself. Then, he turned up the volume and we were able to watch and hear the little heartbeat. It was strong! Dr. Ringler told us that the baby was measuring perfect for 7 weeks.
We are truly blessed and thankful. We are celebrating today as our little one is there and healthy and strong. We can’t wait to welcome him or her to our family in February!
Big Thanks to Dr. Ringler (pictured in the Lab Coat), Anita, and all of the team at California Fertility Partners. And, of course, to our amazing surrogate, Lorisha, who truly lights up our world!

You don’t know me, but I’m so happy for you. Lorisha is my friend and everyday I’m happy to say I know someone so caring and thoughtful to help bring a baby into this world for someone. I hope you two have a healthy baby!
