Well I have to change my ticker yet again because my Dr was right the first time, I'm measuring exactly 6weeks 3 days and heard and saw a beautiful heartbeat of 126bpm.. RE officially released us and I have an OB appt in two weeks.
We almost walked out of the appt because we had to wait over an hour and I was so nervous and anxious I couldn't deal, but once he found the embryo we could see the heartbeat right away and both DH and I lost it... it seems so surreal right now but my all day sickness is making it feel undeniably real.

Yes! That is so wonderful!
I remember my first ultrasound I was such a ball of nerves also, and the screen was turned away, so I was looking at DH's and the docs faces. They both had an unusual expression on their faces and I kept asking, "Is there anything in there?" I was so scared. Finally they said. Oh yea, you've got two heartbeats. Woah - that was a crazy moment.
Anyhow, enjoy, enjoy, enjoy - you've got yourself a baby!

Congrats on a great ultrasound! I remember the horrible wait beforehand with DD (I suffered a loss about 3 months before I got pregnant with her). I'm sure it will be just as bad this time too. :P Yay for symptoms too! That's always a good sign. H&H 9 months to you!
