Today we heard the baby's heart beat! It was amazing. We have one of these Fetal Dopplers at home; and have been trying to find the heart beat for the last few days. Baby's heart is running at around 166 beats per minute; but that's normal for a fetus

Went for a second scan today and our baby is doing just fine. She/he is currently around 2.5 cm in length and we're being discharged from the fertility clinic to the normal hospital system. It's amazing how technology today has made the first moments of a baby's life so accessible. We were shown the embryonic heart beat and even how the limbs were forming. We were delighted to see the embryo wave at us; it must have known we were watching " src="smilies/happy.gif"> This is what's happening at the moment ...

Today we are 8 weeks pregnant. We are 2/3^rd way through our 1^st Trimester. We cannot believe how time has flown by.

I spent the day in bed today. Besides being absolutely ravenous, it was the best day in a very long time. I really appreciated it. Ah!

I think I may have been suffering mild temperature as I felt so weird, tired, hot and cold. Though over all I cannot complain.

Today we went for our first scan at Homerton. I was very anxious. With reason I can now see. Sadly we only found one of our babies. The good news is that all seems well. We even saw her heart beating. Obviously we don’t know if it’s a girl or a boy… but we decided it was a girl! We have decided sadly that it is Faith that we lost and that Hope is all we have left :-( This has been very hard on us. We want to be happy yet we are sad at the same time. We are happy for having Hope but sad for losing Faith.

Owen needed an emergency appointment with Dr Jadali to get some Ventolin. While he was there, we booked our first baby / antenatal appointment for Friday 3^rd June at 8.50am.

I seem to suffer more sickness and tiredness but otherwise I seem to be doing well. I cannot seem to find time to write daily but I will write whenever I can or whenever I have something new to write.
