Pregnant after a Loss

AW: Best birthday present EVER!!

AW b/c I am announcing it's my birthday. 

The best birthday present ever part was my first OB appointment today!!  I think I am finally a little excited and not completely worried Smile!!

My appointment was at 4.  Routine first appointment, with a second ultrasound (I had an early ultrasound last week).  Based on my last period, I should have been due August 2nd. Based on the day I ovulated, I should have been due July 31st.  And... the baby is measuring 4 days ahead, so my due date is now July 27th.  DH was there today, too!  

I am so relieved (so far).   With my first pregnancy, I was measuring 4-5 days behind at the first ultrasound.  And I wasn't anywhere near as nauseated (and barely vomited) as I am this time around.   All good things, right?  What I am worried about is that we saw the heartbeat around 8 wks last time.  And it stopped a few days later. So I am sure I will be somewhat worried still for the next few weeks.

It's amazing how much it grew in the past 7 days!  I mean, I know how fast it grows intellectually (I've taken and taught embryology)... but it's totally different to see your own!

DH and I are headed out to dinner & a movie (technically dinner during the movie)...  for a low key birthday tonight!
