Greetings,

YAHHHH!!!! I feel so much better. I think I might be able to relax just a bit and enjoy everything now instead of worrying the worst was happening.

The U/S when GREAT!!!! The doc determined I am 7W0D today....so he bumped up everything by a couple of days. No biggy....guess the little bean just wanted to get in all nice and cozy early to make sure it would be secure.

But there is with out question only one little bean in there. I am very happy and go from kind of relieved to a bit sad but in the end HAPPY....kind of hard to explain I guess. I think one to start will be a bit easier they two.

The yoke sac is great and on track to sustain the baby till the placenta can take over. The heart is beating at 133 bpm

AND AND AND we actually got to hear it today.....EEEEE....that was the best part. What a sweet sweet sound. My DH was completely blown away when he heard that. I think he was very surprised, he even sat up in the chair and took a closer look on the monitor it was so cute....the best reaction from him yet. (He does not overly show excitement).

This appointment made it all real. I mean I know it was real before but seeing and hearing my little baby....MAN....it just makes it all the more real. If that makes sense. I have such a feeling of relief that all is going along as it should....it’s like this weight I did not realize was so heavy has been lifted.

We go for my first OB appointment next week on Wed. I am very much looking forward to that. We need to get some blood work out of them way and make sure my levels are all normal....this is the next hurdle. BUT if they are not we will just have to make the adjustments to get them there. We also found out the my DH has A+ blood and I know I have AB- so I am thinking we will have the RH negative factor in play too. BUT it’s not a big deal these days.

OK....drum roll........

.......

.......

HERE IS THE PIC....sorry you can not see to much but I have to say I am very fawned of it....LOL....maybe I am just bias.

That's quite the nice bean in there! So glad everything is going well. I remember how amazing it was to hear the heartbeat the first time with my dd! It only gets better!

Congrats on the wonderful appointment. Sorry to be late in my post. I didn't have computer access for about 3 days. DH had to take his laptop to work and hadn't set up the desk computer for me when I got there.

I know you were glad to hear that little

as well as seeing it beating away. 133 hmmmmm could be a little boy in there. My boys'

stayed below 140. Ava's was at 160+ the whole time. However, that isn't a hard and fast rule - my cousin-in-law's new granddaughter never had a

above 145 and she's definitely a girl. Only time will tell. Speaking of, will you two be finding out or letting the little one's "identity" be a surprise?

Thanks

We are going to find out as soon as we can. Both DH and I want to know. We just hope our little bean co-operates....LOL.

I have always wanted a boy so I am hoping but truly it does not matter. We are just so excited that I am PG.

The only thing we ALL want is for us to be living in ONE location as a happy family.....hopefully by Christmas but for sure before the baby is born. Please keep your fingers crossed for us

We have our first OB appointment on Wednesday this week. My DH has to go back soon so it will be nice to have it while he is still hear and can come with me

I will keep everyone updated. I wish you all the best and everyone is in my thoughts and prayers.
