  Julie21613:

  Hi Ladies.. I just wanted to check in and let you know that my 2nd u/s was today.  My little LoneStar looked great.  Measuring right on track with a strong hear rate of 171 bpm.  I know I have a long way to go, but I'm starting to feel like this might actually work for us.  Thank you all for your support.. as I know I have been somewhat "needy".  You can't get rid of me as I want to stay around and support all my IFV ladies.....
  

  Great update!  Especially love Lone Star's measurement and that we are "stuck" with you!  Congratulations.

  Thanks Liz... but I feel like we have such a long way to go.  My previous loss was between 9 & 10 weeks... so I don't think I'll exhale till I get past that point.  Having said that... From the get go last time the go to expression from my RE & nurse was I should be "cautiously optimistic" since my little one measured almost a week behind and never caught up.  This pregnancy started off great with strong beta's and great u/s.  That doesn't mean something still can't happen, as we all know, but I am starting to feel more positive about it.  I have pretty much all the symptoms too, which I never had.  

  Thank you for you kind words.... I am rooting and praying for you and your little one/s.
