Okay friends, I have decided to do a blog because I don't want to turn my facebook page into Baby Mayo madness. I know that some of my friends, even though they love me, could really care less about getting the play by play of this pregnancy. So, you are more than welcome to follow Baby Mayo via Making Mayos, I just ask that you please bear with me as I am new to this whole blogging thing.So here we go...
Jason and I had our first official doctor's appointment today and we got a tiny glimpse of Baby Mayo. We found out that I am 6 weeks and 3 days pregnant putting my due date on February 14th - Valentine's Day - it just fits perfectly into the story that has become ''Jason and Sarah''. Baby Mayo is 7mm in size (around the size of one single grain of rice. RICE?! seriously?! It's just so unbelievable!) We were able to see and hear the heartbeat on our little grain of rice and the doctor says that everything looks great! Of course I attached the sonogram image that shows not only Baby Mayo, but the yolk sac as well. (The yolk sac is the first thing that becomes visible inside the gestational sac in an early pregnancy ultrasound. It nourishes the developing baby/embryo until the circulatory system has developed. The yolk sac is visible on a transvaginal ultrasound by about five weeks of gestation, but it ultimately disappears as the baby grows.) Of course I totally copied that from a preggo website - I didn't even know I had a yolk sac until today.
Jason & I are both so excited we can barely control ourselves. I personally have waited my entire life to land this job & pray that I can be half the mother to this child that my own mother was to me so many years ago. I know she is looking down from Heaven smiling through her tears of joy at the wonderful blessing God has so graciously given to us.
Thank you for your prayers and support and I will do my best to keep those of you that are interested in knowing, IN the know. Our next dr's visit is July 12th so unless any major changes arise before then - that will be the next time you will hear from me. God Bless.
