10/20/2020: 5w3d Something IS different: first ultrasounds.

At 5 weeks 3 days, it’s hard to see in still image, but when the sonographer rolled the ultrasound wand over the gestational sack, there are clearly two embryos now indicating the embryo split into two.

After calling to report having some bleeding accompanied with cramping overnight, SRM had me come it to determine if my pregnancy was at risk or had terminated. When the sonographer rolled the ultrasound wand and two embryos were clearly visible, all the air left my lungs. My eyes went wide in some biological response to make sure I was actually seeing what I thought I was seeing. I said, “is that what I…” She just looked at me for a moment and said, “would you be happy if there were twins instead of a singleton?” I may have just laughed a bit maniacally picturing Mark’s face when I had to tell him. I regretted not having FaceTimed the appointment. Mental note: FaceTime all appointments from here on out.

11/02/2020: SRM did their final ultrasound and graduated us as a confirmed pregnancy to the care of my OBGYN.
