Graduation Day

I am sad to announce that today, March 8, 2011, I, Amie XXX XXX, graduated from my RE. I thought I had a couple weeks left with Dr. J. I made plans to meet my new OB next Tuesday but really thought I would have one maybe two more visits with Dr. J before I was officially kicked out. Well.... that wasn't the case and today was my last day with her. I cried when I left her office and I feel like I'm going to cry now.

Please don't get me wrong, I am thrilled to need to meet with an OB because I have two thriving babies growing, but I have built a bond with this doctor that no one could understand unless they've been through what us infertiles have. Dr. J has given me a gift that I will never ever be able to repay- a gift that, toward the end, I wondered if I'd ever receive. And she did it so selflessly, going through an even more advanced case of IF, herself.

I have had many doctors in my life, but I can honestly say that none has touched my life as much as she has. I have never felt as confident about a doctor or admired one as much as I do her. As a parting gift RGI gave me two little silver spoons for the babies. They are beautiful and it was such a sweet gift. I plan to visit RGI frequently and of course take the babies to visit some day.

So onto the amazing parts of my appt...
Today I am 9w3d and both babies looked huge! Their little hearts are doing great beating 180 and 186 bpm. And they were both wiggling their little arms and legs! It was so cool to see! I'll meet with my OB next Tuesday, but I'm not sure if I'll get an u/s or not. Either way, I think it will make this pregnancy feel more real, to go to an OB and sit in a waiting room with other pregnant ladies (and not feel depressed).
