  Julie - i know it is easier said than done but don't stress out over the measurements. At my first appointment with the MFM they measured me and the dr said a measurement that would have put me about 10 days behind. He did the measurement again and said sorry sometimes a slight adjustment to the angle can change things a lot. He said he didn't mean to scare me. Of course I said hey don't worry, I just crapped on your table ... lol

  Congrats and H & H 9 months ahead!

  Thanks Rachel.   Your comment on crapping on the table literally made me lol! Thanks for that.  The fact that my doctor shoots from the hip and doesn't sugar coat things does make me feel better.  She said everything looked great.  Why can't I just go with that instead of stressing over 2 days????? Which she actually said I wasn't behind.    So, for today, quoting Gregemis, "Thank you God for letting me be pregnant one more day, now I am praying for another"

  Just able to get on here and so glad you have a update.  YAY!!!  Congrats, mama!  Yes, definitely try to put that 2 days behind thought out.of.your.head (easier said than done and said by the woman who was stressing because her 3,000-something second beta hadn't doubled faster than 72 hours).  Take a big sigh of relief that this milestone has passed...and try to enjoy it for a while before the next one is on your radar.  I think Gregermis' mantra/prayer is wonderful and I need to start repeating that to myself.

  So happy for you -- sending big hugs to both you and LS!
