Hi, okay right now, um, it's almost noon and I'm starting my day a little bit late.
Today is our six-week ultrasound. The first ultrasound
and I am petrified.
I'm not even exaggerating like at all.
I am petrified!
So we just ate lunch
and I'm just trying to keep myself busy to be honest.
Um, woke up a little bit late
and then had to drop off Jenna at work,
come back home, film myself cleaning the refrigerator,
went to the store picked up food
and now we're back home. We ate our lunch and then...
we will put him to sleep and then we'll see how the rest of the day goes.
And I am petrified!
So hopefully, this is a good vlog and not a bad one. I don't know.
Expecting a bad vlog,
but I'm hoping it's not. So let's see what Mikko's doing.
♫ Won't you sing our your frustration ♫
♫ Just say a word ♫
♫ Keep on staring at the pavement ♫
♫ and those who hurt ♫
♫ Ohhh, your mind is a ghost town ♫
♫ Echoing inside your walls ♫
♫ Five feet under ground now ♫
♫ Nothing's gonna save us from...♫
Okay, we need to put him to bed, need to clean up, and then sleep.
We're here at the fertility clinic.
Uh, pretty early.
Always
Yeah, we're always early. I prefer to be early than late.
I am again petrified like I had mentioned before.
Um, I am hoping for once in our life. We'll go to the clinic and get good news and not bad news.
I just want to see if it's agood cry or not, but we will see.
How are you feeling?
What feelings?
Exactly
Okay, well maybe we'll wait a few minutes and then
at 3:30, we will go in.
She's gonna use the bathroom. I can't remember if I can use the bathroom or not
before the ultrasound. I don't remember.
Really hope so.
See if you're lucky or not.
Oh, I really hope I can pee!
All right, I'm not sure if we'll film in there or not.
I want to because I want to see the screen and everything.
Hopefully...if it's bad then we're not doing anything.
(beep) this (beep)
But uh...
You gonna edit that out?
I don't know if the vlog will be uploaded if it's bad. I have no idea. We'll see.
Mmm, I'm gonna try my best to set up the camera without
her having to hold it or anything. We'll see how it goes.
But either way, we'll let you know what happens after. Peace bye!
...breast tenderness, but not a ton.
I didn't have he last time. I never had morning sickness before.
So I don't really seem to have much now.
I can never really tell. So I don't know.
Okay, any bleeding....?
Jenna: You're very moody!
I'm always very moody.
Okay, so any bleeding or pain?
Okay, so it will be the internal ultrasound.
Okay I'll show you... and I saw you this morning at the hospital.
I was like "hey!"
Okay, just some pressure with the probe, okay. Jill: Mm-hmm.
Doctor: So you should be six weeks based on when that embryo transfer.
It looks good.
So this is the sac here.
The yolk sac, and then the embryo and if you look really closely
you can see the heartbeat. Jill: Really?
Yeah, t's very early to see the heartbeat, so that's a good sign.
So...
Sometimes when we see a slightly low HCG level
we just want to make sure you don't have an ectopic pregnancy or one of the
fallopian tubes, but this is in the right location.
And it's even looking more developed than I would have expected.
Jenna:Yay! Doctor: Yeah so that's good.
It's measuring right where it should be. It's right around like three millimeters.
Great at this point, so.
Yeah, I didn't know how to measure how many days I would be
because of the transfer. I wasn't sure how that works, so.
So you're actually six weeks and it's measuring like five weeks, six days
but it's probably because of the imprecision at three millimeters.
But the fact that I can see the heartbeat at this point is really amazing.
Because it's very early to see it.
Yeah, but you can probably....
right there. Can you see that?
Jill: This little white thing? Doctor: Little flicker right there.
See that movement in the tip? Jill: Yeah, kind of.
Yeah right there. So, it looks good.
Get you some pictures. I just think it looks like a diamond ring.
The baby.... so.
I forget, like that when can you actually measure?
Like seven or eight weeks?
Yeah, like seven weeks we can measure it. So we'll probably have you come back for one more scan.
If that's okay with you totally. Jill: Yeah, totally fine with me.
Doctor: Then you can hear it at 10 weeks.
We try not to do that on the baby's ears right now
because they're still developing. But after 10 weeks it's safe.
But we have a way of measuring it by um...
looking at the valves moving.
But it looks... I mean it I could probably even measure it right now,
but it's normally a little slow it six weeks and then it picks up by 6 1/2.
Jill: That's good. Dcotor: Yes exactly. I'm surprised....
Jill: Better than what I had hoped. I came kinda just like....
keeping my expectations low. Doctor: Yeah, you should be pleasantly surprised.
You're very fertile!
Jill: I needed that. Doctor: Yeah
Jill: When we got that first... we did test it at home and we got..
we screwed up two pregnancy tests. Doctor: Oh, was it negative at home?
Jill: Well no, we tested one day and we had three different tests in a box
and we did the first one wrong.
Doctor: Okay Jill: and then we did the second one wrong
and then we did a third one. It was just like a yes/no.
I'm just like "do it.. whatever" and we did it and it said yes. I was like...
Doctor: Really? Jill: Yeah, so then I tested for like the next about three days in a row.
Doctor: It kept coming back positive? Jill: It kept came back positive
I'm like well, we don't know like until we get a beta number.
Doctor: Yeah, so definitely implanted and it looks good.
So right there.
Bobby's okay
And better than what she thought. She saw heartbeat!
I mean that's good. I mean, we're 6w 0d, so that's fine.
I'm happy!
For once ever, good news.
You wanna see it?
Right there.
I'm sure you saw in the video previous to this but
we saw a heartbeat, which is good.
I mean, obviously you can't actually like hear it yet
because the ears are still developing and all that.
But we can see it which is good!
That means... I mean, we're not out of the woods yet.
But you know that reduces the chances of miscarriage.
Once you see a heartbeat, I can't remember, it's like
80% now or when you're 6 weeks if you see a heartbeat.
There's an 80% less chance that you'll...
have a miscarriage then it goes on from there.
You know down from that, but that is a good start!
The doctors like, "you're very fertile".
I'm like "I would hope so."
Apparently, she's an overachiever.
Yeah, better be with all these shots and the pills and the gels and all this crap!
Yeah, that's a lot.
But I think maybe it's helpful cuz my breasts have been growing a bit.
I'm kind of hopeful. It feels much different than before.
TMI, welcome to the world of pregnancy.
I'll explain more about those things later.
But we have to pick up our son.
Our firstborn.
Yes, and then we need eat.
See you later. Jenna: Bye
JIll: Wait, say how you're feeling now.
Do you feel something?
She's excited.
I'll interpret for her cause I'm a good interpreter. Jenna: Sure
