Babies under construction

Seven weeks down, 31 more to go.

Rushed in for an emergency scan, as there was a scare last night with some bleeding. Given the fact I was on some heavy medications, and smoking for the first six weeks, there was a very real chance something would go very wrong with this pregnancy. But, we were relieved when the scan showed two strong, healthy heartbeats.

I get the feeling that this will be another rough pregnancy for me. Master Four Year Old did not make pregnancy easy. But together, The Boyfriend and I will get me through this... If we can find clothes to fit. I'm already having issues with my jeans not sitting right. They still fit, but they just sit... Weird.

Just more lemons that life is throwing at The Boyfriend and I. Good thing we know how to make damn good lemonade.

And this made it very much real for us both. He left work to be with me when I went for the scan (an hour drive, mind you) so that we could go through this together, whatever the outcome. Seeing those two heartbeats, and how much these babies have grown in just under two weeks made us both cry. It also hit home that we are starting a new chapter. We say goodbye to who we were - a couple in their mid-20's, doing what made us and Master Four Year Old (previous relationship) happy. We have a new purpose new purposes.

"Calm down now, baby,
The end of the journey?s in sight.
You've traveled so far, love,
Now all of the stars are aligned.
Say goodbye (I don?t want to).
Don?t you fight (I don?t want to).
Leaving your life?s no easy ride.
All the grief you gave,
All the love you made,
All your yesterdays,
Everything you were will fade.
This is the only way."
