One (long) week to next sighting

I've been pretty distracted the last two days so it hasn't hit me until just this afternoon that it's going to be 7 WHOLE DAYS until my next ultrasound. ugh! I'm not sure I'm going to make it. Especially with this continued lack of any pregnancy symptoms. I know they told me I could come in as soon as Monday for another ultrasound but I really wanted Mr.Right to be able to be there this time and so Wednesday afternoon it has to be. I guess I'll survive.

Mr.Right and I had the conversation last night about when we would tell our parents. My sister already knows I'm pregnant and she called last night to see how my ultrasound went on Monday. I'm glad she knows. She had to bear the brunt (besides Mr.Right) of my beta-day negative calls so I wanted her to get the positive call as well.

But, my parents and Mr.Right's mother know exactly when we conceived (recall the whole Plan A/Plan B set of shenanigans when my MIL was having surgery, I'd said I'd take her and then ended up having to have my own parents stay with my MIL one night while I drove home to have IUI) so I'm sure they're wondering what happened. Of course, as Mr.Right pointed out, we didn't share with them our failures on IVF's and IUI's from November through March of this year. So, I guess they really don't have any reason to assume one way or the other they know what's going on. Besides, both my parents and my MIL are the most discreet and polite people ever and would just never ask.

On the other hand, this will be the 3rd weekend that I'm seeing my parents (I'm driving to their lake cottage for Fri and Sat) since our positive beta and I'm sure by now they've noticed I'm not drinking. So, they've got to be starting to wonder.

I've proposed to Mr.Right that we consider telling them after the ultrasound next Wednesday (if there's still a baby in there by then). He's proposed waiting to tell my parents in person 4th of July weekend when we'll be seeing them again together.

I guess we'll see what we feel like as the next few weeks pass. I'm excited to tell them, but I don't want to take them on the rollercoaster unnecessarily. It's going to be a long way down if we lose this one.

Oh, this post is turning out so negative. I'm really rather hopeful about this one. I know it's very possible to have a loss after having seen a heartbeat, but I'm thinking, "we've seen the heartbeat!" We've never gotten this far before! Maybe we're going to actually be allowed to have our turn finally! One week. I can make it.
