We will be having a second ultrasound on Friday. The great thing about embryo transfers is you get to have all these extra ultrasounds. And what mom doesn't like to see pictures of their growing babies? Medical technology is amazing. Anyways, this ultrasound is to hear the heartbeat! It will also be a mile marker for me because this will mean that I get to stop taking one of the medications that is helping me maintain this pregnancy. Since this is not a natural pregnancy, my body is essentially being tricked into thinking it is pregnant through medication until my body will take over for itself. So that will be an exciting moment. What will really be exciting is when I don't have to have daily shots (in about 6 more weeks)!
I have to admit though that I am feeling a little anxious about miscarrying. Perhaps it is because I have miscarried twice before or maybe I am questioning whether I am doing everything "right" with following the protocol for a frozen embryo transfer or wondering if there is something more I should be doing. Again, I have to go back to the fact that God is sovereign. He knows all things, He ordains all things, and His plans are not thwarted because of my worries. So I will rest in the words that Job spoke to God and let them be my words to God, "I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted." Job 42:2
To God be all the glory.
