Another Hurdle Cleared

Despite my frantic worrying and obsessive googling, today's ultrasound showed one beautiful baby growing right where he/she should. The CRL was 9.4 mm, which is spot on for almost 7 weeks, and the heartbeat was a-thumpin' at 148 bpm. 
We've got another peek planned for next week. I am trying -oh! how I am trying! - to believe that things will continue to progress as they should. 

I have wanted for so long to be pregnant that I feel guilty wishing the weeks away. But after so much loss and heartbreak, I just don't know when I will start feeling "safe." If I could fast-forward to March and have my baby in my arms, I would. Since I can't, we'll just take each day as it comes. 

Keep growing, little one! Momma loves you so much.

    We used to say the TWW was the slowest days in life. But those early weeks of pregnancy, after losses, they seem to move backwards. But as the pregnancy progresses and things continue to look good, time slowly returns to its normal pace and the waits between hurdles don't seem as long. I still wished them away my whole first healthy pregnancy though. It would be nice to be blissfully unaware and happy but that is a tall, tall order for someone in your shoes. Take it day by day, hurdle by hurdle, whatever you have to.
