Well today we went and had a little visit with Dr. Lee at Heartland.
First thing he did after the nurse put us in a room, was poke his head in and say "I think there must be something good to report!!" He came in - confirmed that we were indeed pregnant, and then took us in to the ultrasound room. He took down my dates, lmp and ovulation and came up with our due date of November 6th. This makes us 6 weeks pregnant today :)
He then did the ultrasound and explained every little detail to Adrian and myself. He showed us the gestational sac, the embryo, and then he zoomed in and showed us this little fleck that he called a piece of fluff... and it was flashing... that was the heartbeat!! It was faint.. but we were so happy to see it. We knew going in that it was a possiblilty that we weren't far enough along, so not to be surprised if we didn't see anything. We were extemely happy. He has put me on progesterone for 4 weeks, and baby asprin. I will start my first dose of it tonight.... we'll see what happens.
We go back next Thursday at 9:40am for another ultrasound to see how things are developing and hopefully we will see a stronger heartbeat and maybe even get a picture.
How am I doing??? Well.. lets see.... I'm very tired, have nausea 24/7 that comes and goes, and have been quite crabby. Adrian has been really good about everything. He has picked up the slack around the house without me asking. I am not going to complain about feeling so lousy, because to me those are all really good signs that everything is going as planned.
Oh... and I got my 4th beta level back and it was 9970... which I think is pretty good :)
Must sign off.. gotta hit the pharmacy and the store to buy Anika some new "summer clothes" for a photo shoot tomorrow....
