Roughly 8 weeks along

We went for our second ultrasound yesterday, which was good not only because we saw a better picture and a growing baby, but it was also the FINAL TIME we have to visit the Fertility Clinic.
We’ve been going there for about…a year and a half now, so being able to leave for good was nice.
So [...]

The baby is coming in December, and with Jina potentially staying home for a few years to raise the little tyke, the less bills we have going out each month, the better.

Around 4:30 today we head over to the Fertility Clinic for our first ultrasound, which should hopefully tell us how many babies are in there, and also be our “bon voyage” from that place forever. We’ll finally be able to go to a real OB/GYN.
