Exhaling a little more

We had the ultra-sound today and everything looks just great. Size is measuring on target with a nice 160 heartbeats per minute. There was a moment - a long, nervewracking, uncomfortable moment - when Dr. Fantabulous wasn't sure there was just one embryo. To make matters worse the ultrasound machine kept picking up both the fetal heartbeat and the pulse surging in the nascent umbillical cord and defaulting to the multiples program. R and I did everything possible short of not going forward with an FET at all (a thought that also crossed our minds) to reduce the chances of multiples (see here, here, and here; parents of multiples who might be reading this please don't take that the wrong way, I just seriously doubt my own ability to cope with caring for multiples on top of the Small Boy), so we were releived when Dr. Fantabulous was able to definitively declare Singleton. A perfect looking almost 7 weeks along singleton.

And I walked out of his office with a box of 100 prenatal vitamins.

Exhale.
