Our Love At First Sight

26 June 2015
I feel almost exactly the same way as when I first met my fiance --really nervous. Thinking if it's still there, how many are exactly in there, are they growing and developing beautifully?  I have a lot of things in my mind but luckily my son's TV casting got me occupied first thing in the morning.

Antwerp
I planned on going to the agent's place by train but since my fiance is so sweet, he drove us there and even get to see what the little man had to do.
It is about an hour drive without getting stuck in traffic and we got lucky!
The little man had to stand before the camera and perform some emotions, like being sad and feeling sorry, be happy and contented, thrilled and the feeling of ecstatic happiness.  It took about half an hour or maybe less.

My fiance had to work for a bit while we get to window shop for some baby stuff.

Which afterwards we had lunch at Ikea and drive back home.

Parent-teacher meeting
At three we drove to his school for our appointment.  The school year is about to end again and the little man gets his final report card.  There were no further complaints about him and he did a really good performance in class. Except that he should learn to trust himself and be confident in the things that he can do.  We are proud of him!  Shortly after we headed to the hospital.

First meeting
We were a bit early when we arrived at the hospital.  When it was our turn (which did not even took us more than an hour of waiting), the doctor shook or hands and welcomed us in his office.  He asked a few things like if I feel any symptoms and I informed him about the cramps, nausea and the cravings.  The ultrasound then followed.

We started out with two embryos. The other just stopped growing (an empty sack can be seen in the ultrasound) while the other is growing beautifully! Yup! One healthy Eskimo is growing in my tummy right now!  The doctor said that the body will eliminate the undeveloped embryo by itself so we should not worry about it.

We get to hear its heartbeat and it was such a precious moment for both of us. Daddy went emotional and we both felt relieved when we saw our tiny Eskimo that is now about 2 centimeter big with a proportionally huge head and tiny growing limbs.

This is it, or little miracle happening inside of me.

We are thankful to both or families who lighted candles for us and helped us pray. Thankful for our colleagues and friends who wished and hoped the best for us in our ICSI journey for our hearts' desire has been granted.
