taking a week off work = falling behind on the blogging.... oops!
anyway, i'm gonna try to write a couple posts this week to get up to date instead of one incredibly long post that turns into a novel. so pretend this is from last week...
we got much better news this time! my bladder wanted to explode and I kept cursing the fact that you typically don't see anything on an abdominal US and have to use the transvaginal wand that early in pregnancy, but they must have a really good machine when there's something actually in there growing and beating away : ) I was encouraged since I was a few days further along than last time, but the tech said she had much better news for us this time and went to get the DH so she could show us. when he came in, she moved the screen so we could see it. I instantly saw the sac and when she zoomed in, I could see our little baby in it! a huge improvement. when she zoomed in further, she pointed out the flicker that was the heart, something i wasn't sure i'd ever get to see :') words can't even describe that moment, I cried, lol.
DH is still apprehensive since we're still in the first trimester, but I let him know that once you see a heartbeat, the chances of something going south drop significantly from the 25% before seeing/hearing a HB. so now we're waiting for the next apt when we hopefully get to hear the heartbeat on the Doppler at the docs office, which i'll be 10w3d. i'm thinking of asking SIL if she still has hers to maybe try to pick up the HB before that apt so that DH doesn't have to sit through it. either way, a huge weight has been lifted. the only one left now is keeping it a secret til we tell family, lol.
