7 weeks

I wish it was more like 17 or 27 weeks, but I will just enjoy this journey. We had our first ultrasound on Wednesday! It was so awesome. First, we see this huge black empty sac which I guess in the gestational sac. Then we got to see our little munchkin. They checked for a twin, but there was no evidence of another baby. I thought I would be sad if there weren't twins, but I actually felt a little relieved. It was so surreal seeing that little baby inside of me. I have waited almost 3.5 years (or really my entire life) to see that. I was 6 weeks and 5 days along and the baby measured 6 weeks and 1 day but they said it was totally fine. It is 4.64 mm and it's crazy how such a little thing can make me so sick. We even got to see the little heartbeat. That was what made me cry. It was racing at 125 bpm. It was such a wonderful feeling to know that this is real. I think I cried 15 times on Wednesday just thinking about it.
They also checked my ovaries and my right ovary has 9 cysts still from the retrieval and the left has 2 cysts. She said they are still swollen and will be for another couple of months.
We finally told D's family. Everybody was so excited for us and so supportive. We really are lucky to have so many people surrounding us who love us so much.
I asked the doctor for a prescription for the morning sickness and he gave me these pills that you put on your tongue and it just dissolves. It is a lifesaver. I still feel a little icky, but no nausea and no throwing my guts up. Amazing. I don't know why more women don't take it. They said there is virtually no side effects and completely safe for baby. I feel like I eat all the time. I just eat every couple of hours so when I do eat, I don't eat much. And I think due to a lack of working out and still having swollen ovaries, I feel like a chubby version of me. Maybe it's just in my head but I don't really think so.
I want to end on a happy note. This week, my baby will double in size and be the size of a blueberry. Awww :)
