We had an an amazing moment this week, that confirmed our feelings for our doctor. Luke's boss Jackie was the one that referred us to Dr. M. She is also currently pregnant, with her second, and has really loved Dr. M for both pregnancies. While visiting for her weekly checkup, somehow Luke and I came up, and while Dr M can't discuss us, they all agreed that we are going to be amazing parents. What's more, they all got really emotional talking about it, even Dr M. This gave Luke and I such warm-fuzzies, and made me cry like a baby. I explained to Luke that I just feel as though Dr M really cares about us and our story, and whether or not she's like that with every patient, it doesn't matter. It's such a difference from the anonymity we experience at our first women's clinic, where no one knew/remembered us, or anything that happened to us. This whole pregnancy has been such a different experience and I really have to thank Dr M for so much of that. 

Here's a new picture, taken today! (Kindly ignore the lack of makeup and overall exhausted look ha)
