9 weeks 5 days today! Starting to feel a bit more confident. Baby girl was just the right size and HB 160. Graduated from the RE and have an appointment in about two weeks with the OB. I've been feeling like crap the past week or so hence being offline more. I'm trying to attach the u/s picture but it's not working...maybe because I'm trying to pull it out of the pdf file I got (my clinic emailed me the records). I'll try again later and update this but I'm starting to feel a nap coming on haha

Baby looks great and growing! Measuring at 8w6d, hb 169. Ultrasound tech said baby was already moving around like crazy. Sch is smaller but not yet resolved. Overall I am feeling much more confident, especially as my nausea is ramping up and bizarre pregnancy dreams continue.
Had my second ultrasound today. Tried last week at 6+3 but it was too small (measuring 5w5d) but were able to see the gestational sack and yolk. Saw the bean today! HR was 124. Still measuring a few days behind, but I measured small with my first one (currently 7+2 but measuring 6+4). Don't have to go back for a scan until 12 weeks (high risk so I get growth scans once a month). Still looking for the very end of December for this one (EDD 12/29).
This was my second ultrasound! Baby was measuring ahead. I was 9 weeks 5 days at the time of the ultrasound, measuring 10 weeks 3 days. I’m 11 weeks 4 days now and looking forward to my next ultrasound in a week
I just had a scan today at 11+1, since they couldn’t find the heartbeat on the Doppler (which I was expecting). No pic, but great to see baby gitl moving around and the heartbeat!

Super grateful that baby is looking good! Jumping and squirming around so much they were barely able to get the pics they needed! Hr was 174. Measuring on track.
It was exciting to see all the movement, the heartbeat, and different angles, including one incredibly detailed image of the foot, with 5 perfect tiny toes! My mom started calling our baby “Flipper” after I told her about this visit.
Like so many people said on here -so much fun to watch the little one move around. Was so lucky, with a negative covid test, my husband was able to come to this scan (literally had to wait outside until I was setup and then they let him come in for this part and then kick him out again - such times we live in but was grateful he could experience it... he is talkin more about it - especially the movements). Must be hard for our husbands sometimes because it just seems like wife got lazy and picky lol cause dont feel or see changes yet. Anyways... my little one was sleeping at first and she (dr) is like common wakey wakey...and then he/she started stretching and moving around I really needed this... especially as more and more people were finding out... and just for another realization for myself. Also found out...due date moved up....to dec 24 (oh noo! Where I live the main xmas event is dec 24.... we are hoping not dec 24 or 25... but of course at end of day.. date doesnt matter and just want a healthy baby (ok...and easy labour...askin for too much? Hehe).
@j-to-the-amie aw how cool! Glad your husband was able to be there. I love your ultrasound pic because your uterus is shaped like a heart surrounding your baby and I just think that's so perfect Also, my daughter was due Dec. 24th and was born on Dec 8th, so maybe you'll be early too. I am expecting with a due date of 12/8 this time, baby will come Dec 1st or maybe even Nov.
@scaredunprepared thank you! It really does look like a heart. I was happy with such the clear picture. Glad to hear your babies came early. That is what we also think... on due date is still such a slim chance.
This was my first ultrasound at 8w +5, just a little bean and a heartbeat. I was very entertained that they labelled the image with "baby". Really looking forward to my next one which should be in the next week or 2 (currently at 17+4).
Question for everyone: did your sonographers comment on baby's hair at the anatomy scan? I recall them commenting about how much hair my daughter had already by this point last pr, but this time no comment. Wondering if this boy is going to be a bald little dude.
@scaredunprepared They never mentioned hair for any of our ultrasounds but my daughter was definitely born with so much hair - it looked like a wig LOL. It may depend on the sonographer!
