C and I went to the RE's office this morning for an ultrasound. We were VERY nervous since last time we went the doctor said the yolk sac looked too big. And then, when we got to the office this morning, it turned out that our regular doctor who we had the appointment with was gone on an emergency, so we had to meet with the same doctor as last time. So we thought she'd be all negative like last time.

Luckily, as soon as she looked at the ultrasound, she APOLOGIZED for making us worry needlessly!!! She said the fetus looked perfect with a strong heartbeat. She said it looks like a gummy bear (and it does, with a big head, short stubby arms and not really any legs yet) and it's probably the size of a gummy bear as well.

We also asked about the blob, which she said the proper name which is long and complicated and technical sounding -- so we still call it a blob, but she said it should not be any problem at all.

She said congratulations and that we are DONE with the RE's office (until we are ready to try for a sibling) and to send them our baby pictures.

We are so relieved and happy to have gotten good news (finally!) from them.

Now we get to refer to the baby as a gummy bear :)
