“Does this mean we’re normal?” That’s what I asked Laryen this week as we went to our first ob appointment, you know where all the non-infertile people go when they realize they’re pregnant. Ya know, all those normal peeps. Lol.

It felt so weird there. They asked normal questions like “when was your last pap” and”what kind of prenatal vitamins are you taking” not “come in on day 3 of your cycle so we can check for cysts” or “when’s the last time your husband had his sperm examined?” And now that we’re at the “normal” stage it does give us a teeeeeeeny more sense of “ok, this is going how it’s supposed to. Baby embie is growing and growing like it’s supposed to.” Unfortunately I think because of everything we’ve gone through I think Laryen and I are both wondering when the next shoe is going to drop. But through hope and prayers we know 1) it’s out of our hands and 2) hopefully the shoes just wanna stay up there on a shelf for a while.

10 weeks not only means

we’re in the double digits but it’s time to say so long to my meds! At 10 weeks the placenta takes over and provides the progesterone and estrogen for the little babe, so bye bye pills! It’s so weird– I feel like I’m totally forgetting to do something because I’m so used to always taking some medicine or a shot or something on our calendar. Now all I need to take is my prenatals and that’s it! The good thing is less progesterone means less bloat so hopefully I’ll look more pregnant as opposed to bloated and pregnant next week! Even though isn’t pregnancy really all the same thing? 🙂
