HEARTBEAT!!!!!!!!!

My appointment was originally at 4:45 p.m. today. At 9:45 a.m., just as I was about to exit the freeway to go to work, I received a phone call from a blocked number. I just KNEW it was my doctor’s office so I fumbled desperately for my headpiece and picked up. It turned out they wanted to see me right THEN so I switched gears and headed for the Westside. After a frantic coordination with my husband, we both made it there.

The ultrasound was completely thrilling – we both saw the heartbeat flickering right away, along with a gestational sac and a yolk sac! My doctor refuses to give me a photo of the ultrasound until 8 weeks because he’s superstitious – that’s fine, I need all the luck and help I can get.

Today is my ultrasound?

My ultrasound is scheduled for today? And so as to torture myself, I decided to start reading about women who had miscarriages late in their pregnancy.

I am determined to come back today with good news.
