We have a heartbeat!!!!
I've been praying about this u/s nonstop, and kept asking God to calm me down...well, as I pulled into the RE's parking lot, a song came on the radio that has very special meaning in my life and my faith, and I just
knew it was a sign that everything was going to be ok.
As I expected, I'm not as far along as my LMP due date (I know I O'd about cd 16, and I think implantation was about 8-9 dpo, based on some light spotting)...so the RE thinks I'm more like 6-1/2 weeks, instead of 7. I think I'll leave my ticker alone for now, because it is difficult enough to get thru this 1st trimester without LOSING time, KWIM?
The little bean was TINY! But that heartbeat was the best sight/sound EVER! It was around 117 bpm, which sounded low to me, but my RE assured me it was good (I have to remind myself that that tiny little heart probably just started beating a few days ago!).
We have another U/S on March 22...so deep breaths and lots more prayers until then!
THANK YOU, ladies, for being there with me every step of the way!!!!

I thought I'd have 2 children--or 3--or 4...in any case, I thought I'd have more. But the plans that I had didn't match His plans for me. It's all for the best, as I'm starting to see. My one precious child that I hold in my arms, keeps me smiling and laughing with all of her charms. She's smart, and she's sweet, she's my loving "nuggie bug," and whenever I need her, she's there with a hug. So here I am, raising one perfect little girl. To me and her daddy, she means all of the world. I guess I actually did get my way, because I've got 3 other children I'll meet in Heaven one day. So until then, I'll cherish the one here on earth, and know that I'm being watched over by those to whom I never gave birth.
