Surprising information from the fertility nurse

December 20, 2007

We're inching our way closer to the Christmas holiday. A week and a half off is going to be great. I have already received all that I could wish for for Christmas, so anything is a bonus.

L learned something interesting, and maybe a little terrifying, the other day. She was talking to the nurse from the fertility clinic and she told L that the baby that is now growing with a strong heartbeat inside L is actually Baby B, not Baby A. Baby A must have stopped developing right after our last ultrasound. And we thought Baby A was doing great!?! And the OB/GYN told us that we were so far along, with a strong heartbeat and everything, that there was something like a 98% chance of success for that fetus.

How confident am I supposed to feel about Baby B's chances, having heard this? Again, I'm right back where I was when I wrote one of my earlier posts; when can we start breathing easier and just focus on preparing for this baby to come along?
