We've been with our fertility center since May 2008 so it's bittersweet to be moving on. Dr. Abusief and our "Dream Team" (Shawnda, the best IVF Coordinator ever, Diana, Nurse Extraordinaire, and Eleanor, all things office related and always with a smile) have become an extension of our family and without their support and expertise, we would not be on the road to parenthood. Needless to say, this graduation comes with bittersweet feelings.
But, we did have a wonderful reason to celebrate today; we saw the baby for the first time where it actually looked "real". In addition to actually being able to make out the shape of the baby, it was wiggling around during the ultrasound; doing an Irish jig for us already! It's truly amazing to watch this unborn child develop. Some of the key things we saw today were it's heartbeat, it's head, it's limbs, it's forming spinal cord, and Dr. Abusief pointed out the dark white spots on the ultrasound were it's bones forming. Fascinating! Words cannot express the joy and awe we are experiencing.
I love to bake so in honor of our graduation, I made a plate of goodies for the team to enjoy. Below is pictures of our graduation celebration and a Week 10 ultrasound of Baby McCormick.
