most babies start out sweet, cuddly, warm, and fuzzy. ours will most likely be that way too, but today we got a preview of an extra adjective we will get to use: sneaky!
it really was the best day...ever...praise God for another good ultrasound! our little one has grown from 6.5mm to 22mm (almost triple the size!) and continues to have a strong heartbeat. while we were being mesmerized by the sound of that heartbeat, an incredible thing happened. our sweet baby started moving. it moved its little arm buds, wiggled its tiny legs, and arched its sweet little back. we were awestruck. i cried. jeremy just grinned. it was precious.
our doctor came in to talk with us, started laughing, and said a crazy thing had happened. our baby started out as just an egg (like everyone else) that came from my left ovary. our fertility treatments were all targeted towards my left uterus (if you're new to my blog, i have two. yes i said two). no one noticed anything on the last ultrasound, but on this one, our little houdini had managed to navigate over to the right uterus (not like everyone else). no one is totally sure how that happened, but the little thing seems quite content on the right side, so that is where it will stay i suppose. i think God had a little chuckle over that one. we weren't at all surprised...it's just par for the course for us.
i hope this sneaky behavior ends before this baby makes its debut into the world...and that it doesn't surface when those teenage years hit! somehow, i think i probably won't get my way on this one... we're going to have to watch this one like a hawk!
