7 weeks 5 days (226 days to go)

Today I am officially 7 weeks and 5 days (IVF).  Had an interesting week last week.  We went on an 8 day cruise to the Exotic Caribbean, and only 2 days into the cruise, I started cramping  and bleeding/spotting.  Needless to say I was a nervous wreck.  I was texting my RE and anyone else who I thought could give me reassurance or some answers.  My RE put me on bed rest the rest of the cruise. We arrived home yesterday afternoon.  Glad to be home, closer to advance medical care.

Went to the RE this morning for an ultrasound.  Everything looked great.  The baby is measuring big, 15.27mm.  He was sort of arms out like Superman.  Well, his little nubbins were anyway.  His heart rate was 156 and strong.  She decided to keep me on bed rest until I get into the second trimester, just to be safe.  I go back next week for another ultrasound.

Bonus: I've not gained any weight.  Whew.  Since I am starting out a little over weight, I am to only gain 15-25 pounds the entire pregnancy.
