6w 4d... We have a heart beat!!!!

Brian and I had the most beautiful day. Today we found out that we have one baby with a beautiful heartbeat. The baby measured 6w3d, which is perfect since we are supposed to be 6w4d. The heartbeat was 121 beats per minute. Here it is!!!



I was so nervous last night, I had a hard time sleeping. I can't even describe how beautiful that little flicker is when you see it for the first time. I held my breath when the u/s started, but as soon as I saw that there was something in the sac, I took a deep breath. Then when I saw that beautiful heartbeat... there were no words, only tears. I started bawling... with a big smile on my face. Brian even got misty eyed when he saw that heartbeat. The u/s tech that did our u/s, was a tech that had done a ton of our u/s during our months of treatment. Well, when I started crying, she started crying, and said she was so incredibly glad that she got to be the one to do our ultrasound. It was a good day!

So we go back on 3/06/08 (2 weeks from today) for another ultrasound, and we will probably "graduate" from our RE's office at that appointment. At that point we will call our OB and make an appointment for our normal OB visits.

6w 3d...

Well, less than 24 hours to go before our ultrasound. I had the funniest dream last night. I dreamt that we went to our appointment, and they were just getting started on the ultrasound, and I remember being extra nervous. I remember they saw a sac, and were getting ready to zoom in on something in the sac, and then I woke up.... I never found out if everything was ok. I woke up a little paniced, because I was so ready to see what was in that sac. Well after using the bathroom (darn pg hormones) I fell back to sleep pretty quick, and the first thing I dreamt about was that beautiful heartbeat. All of that has to be a good sign, right?

I have a really good feeling about tomorrow, last time I was a little excited, and very scared, this time I am very excited and a little nervous. Assuming all goes well tomorrow, I'll post ultrasound pics tomorrow afternoon. If all doesn't go so well.... well I'll deal with that if I need to.

Who knew I could be so in love with a cartoon of what my baby could look like right now? I keep looking at my widget(see sidebar), and that little alien is the most beautiful thing I think I have ever seen. I can't wait to goo and gaa over a beautiful ultrasound picture.

Well if you can, send some prayers our way around 9:15 EST tomrorrow, and maybe some tonight to help us sleep. Although that hasn't been a problem lately, I have been crashing about 8pm, and getting up at 6am, 10 hours. We are very excited, and ready to see this little one.
