I’m Stunned June 5, 2006

I truly can’t believe I’m about to write this, but my ultrasound went well today. We saw a fetal pole measuring 6w2d (I’m 6w1d today) with a heartbeat of 119. The yolk sac was a little hard to discern on the ultrasound, so we’ll have to keep any eye on that. I’m still in shock. I mean serious shock.

Normally my clinic would schedule the next u/s in 2 weeks, but with my history my RE wants me back in a week. You’ll hear no complaints from me. This is the farthest we’ve ever gotten, but I know there are still so many hurdles ahead.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for all of your good thoughts and support. They mean the world to me.

79. Me - June 5, 2006

WOOOOHOOOOO!! I am so excited for you! :) Congratulations!!!!

I am so glad the u/s went well and you got to the see the bean’s heartbeat and measuring on target. I am also happy to hear that your RE is having you come in next week just to keep a close eye on you! Our RE is making me wait 2 weeks until the next one – well we are already 1 week down so I only have to make it until Friday to see if I am still pregnant and hopefully see a heartbeat for the very first time. I am trying to stay calm, but you know how it goes! My nerves are all over the place!!

Reading your blog today just made me so happy! I wish you continuous best wishes and will keep everything I can possibly crossed to ensure more good news to come! :)
