What a Sweet, Sweet Sound

Tuesday, September 18 was our next ultrasound. I was 6 weeks and 4 days. I was really nervous because starting right around the 6 week mark, I started spotting again, which is never good! I was still pretty confident the baby was fine, but I had seeds of doubt eating at me.

Our appointment was right away at 8:15 in the morning. I was thankful to get it over with so quickly! I didn't sleep very well the night before.

As soon as the ultrasound picture came up on the screen, my first impression was.. WOW the sac is SO much bigger!! Then I saw the little baby in the corner (looked like a little worm!) Then I saw the flash flash flash of the heartbeat. I knew it immediately. We looked at the baby and the heart beat for a while, then she switched it over to sound... I was like, what is she doing?

Then I hear the WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH of the heartbeat! I could not believe it, I wasn't expecting to be able to HEAR it that early. It was so strong and steady! So wonderful! I cried when I heard that!!!

It's 118 bpm. She said that's normal, and that I'm looking absolutely perfect for 6 weeks! They released me from care at the RE, and told me to go ahead and schedule my first OB appointment! Woohoo! I go in next Tuesday, September 25 for my first appointment with Dr. Rovner. He came highly recommended from Dr. Goldstein (My RE.)
