Baby Von Bauer has a heartbeat!

We had our follow-up ultrasound today and there is a tiny, tiny little 3 mm baby and a heartbeat! It is at 103, which means it probably juuuust started beating recently. We could see it on the ultrasound and it was this tiny little flashing oval. So weird! You could see it blinking plain as day though!

They moved my due date back to November 11th now that they can measure more accurately when the baby was conceived. I was confused at first, but six weeks ago today was my most fertile day according to the fertility calendar we were using. It worked perfectly! I can do this week over again happily. The doctor also said since my homocysteine levels are normal, she isn't worried about the genetic issues and is considering me a normal-risk pregnancy unless that changes. I am going to try and reschedule my appointment with the midwife now that I know I don't have to see a high-risk doctor. YAY!

    First of all, I will tell you I have that same gene mutation and I have had 2 successful pregnancies (although i wouldn't call Shelby or Sean normal so let's just scratch that thought) actually right now your whole family is thinking "man I knew that Laura girl was missing a gene or something!!!" Love you bunches and I will continue to pray for the health of baby Von Bauer. XOXOXOXO white woman
