{9 weeks}

We had our 9 week appointment a few days early on Monday (at 8 weeks 5 days). This was our last appointment with the specialist. We had our 2nd ultrasound and our little peanut actually looks more like a baby now!!! It was so wonderful to see the little one again and see the heart beating (at a steady rate of 166 bpm). The Dr. said the growth rate is right on track and we even got to see a little bit of movement!! He also helped ease some of our anxieties by explaining 'how' we got pregnant (via IVF) will not create any complications or risks throughout the pregnancy and he expects everything to be perfectly normal. He officially released us from his care and I will see my OB for the first time on Wednesday at 10 weeks :)
