Second ultrasound

DRB7586 · May 2013

My body wanted me to know beforehand that everything was going to be ok so it woke me up at 1:30 am to remove the contents of my stomach. First real bout of morning sickness. Anyway, measuring 7w5d which means progression of 2 weeks from the last ultrasound which was....2 weeks ago! Haha. So this is 2 days behind what period math would say for a conventional cycle but mine are super long and I think I ovulate around day 17 so, right on time. Heartbeat 154 bpm and you could see the teeny arm and leg buds! I got a huge kick out of that. Looks like a little frog in there. It's officially time to start breathing and I will probably start telling more people. I know the risks are there but, the risks are always there. And if you're not going to treat a heartbeat as a happy developmental milestone, what am I waiting for?
