My ultrasound was this past Monday. It went very well all in all. Meg came with b/c Josh was still in route to Charlotte after a longggg weekend in Vegas. The very beginning of the ultrasound was a bit disappointing because at first all the tech could see was the yolk sac. She said, "It's too early on and all we can see is the yolk sac, but it's a good sign that it is there, otherwise I'd be suspicious if you were pregnant." Total letdown. But then, low and behold, our little baby showed up, heart pumping away. We couldn't hear it, but we could certainly see it. I thought I was six weeks, but in fact, I was only measuring in at 5 so it threw me back an entire week. All you mom's out there and pregant women know that in the early stages you count every day like it's a special feat so to be thrown back a week was discouraging, but I'm glad now everything is accurate. New due date: March 29th.I have a fibroid outside of my uterus just like Meg did and will probably have to go to a special center for frequent ultrasounds (not that I'm complaining !), but if I'm anything like Meg (and I'm a lot like her ), the fibroid will not present a problem.
I look so forward to what's to come. I just bought Mayo Clinic's Guide To a Healthy Pregnancy. I'm also reading a less serious book called Belly Laughs by Jenny McCarthy. Totally funny and allows for some comic relief right before my nap. :)
