Happy Halloween! We got the best Halloween treat today and got to see and HEAR our baby's heart beat! It was a strong 110bpm and we're measuring exactly on track at 6w2d. I'm so elated, I can't stop crying (at work)! As soon as I saw the flicker I started crying and the doctor and DH had to yell at me because if I cried we wouldn't be able to hear it lol. I was so scared after what happened last week and because of my fading and lack of symptoms, I was almost convincing myself that today's results wouldn't be good. I'm so thankful and feeling blessed that everything is looking awesome! I was told to make my first OB appointment, so sh*t just got real! Best Halloween EVER!!

Oh, and as scared as I was, when we walked into the RE's office our wedding song was playing! I knew it had to be a sign from baby that everything was OK and I was worried sick for nothing :-)

RosyGlow Yes, I get two more actually :-) The next two Thursdays they'll do repeat bloodwork and u/s to make sure things are looking good before I'm off to my OB. Though, I was told to make and I have made my first OB appointment....that was fun! I was actually surprised that they were able to get me in so quickly.
