First Ultrasound!!!!

Hi Ladies- Happy Friday! Today we had our first ultrasound- we have one little bean measuring right at 6 weeks 3 days, and the RE was very pleased with the way everything looked. Heartbeat was a little low for me, 114, but he said he's happy with anything over 100. I think I'm just looking for something to worry about, and I need to trust him that all is well. He said if I didn't have DOR he would have gone ahead and released me to OB care today, but because of my diagnosis he wants to take one more look next Friday- I would happily go every Friday! I cried a LOT, and so did DH, who unfortunately has the flu so we couldn't hug or kiss at all 
The RE and all the nurses hugged me though! I got my flu shot way back in October, and I've been washing hands and disinfecting/washing sheets and surfaces like crazy, but I am terrified I'll get sick anyway. He started Tamiflu yesterday, is wearing a mask, sleeping/using the bathroom upstairs, and staying on the other side of the living room. Last night his temp was up to 103.3 but I finally got it down with fluids, ibuprofen and a cold shower- please keep us in your prayers that he doesn't get worse and I don't get sick at all.
