We had our first ultrasound yesterday morning. We were so nerve wracked, expecting the worst but hoping for the best..I remember going into the room and lying down and my heart was just pounding out of my chest. The technician was so silent you could hear a pin drop until she said..."go empty your bladder and then I'll do some measurements and then you can see the baby". Those were the greatest words I've ever heard! "The baby"...so instead of getting up I said "baby? there's a baby??" she smiled and said "of course". Whatever, lol...I've been thinking there's an empty sack in there this whole time so she probably just thought I was crazy for thinking there isn't a baby in there.
Plus my symptoms have been pretty much under control so of course I didn't feel like there was a baby in there. But there is!! "She?" is measuring 6 weeks 4 days but according to when I ovulate I was supposed to be 6 weeks 6 days that day. Oh well doctor says it's fine. Her heartbeat is 122bpm and she was .67 centimeters.
Our next ultrasound is in 4 weeks and then again 2 weeks after that for the IPS testing. I look forward to the IPS ultrasound because last time I was able to tell that we were having a boy and I was only 13 weeks along!
I know there are still chances of this not working out but I feel a bit more relieved now knowing they found the heartbeat. I'll post the scan of it soon, just trying to get the scanner to cooperate :)
Congrats on the successful first ultrasound. I was so excited to click on here and see your little baby countdown on the side! It's really happening for you (keeping fingers crossed and knocking on wood of COURSE!) and I'm soooo thrilled!!!!
