Our first ultrasound was great!

I was a little nervous, but not too bad. 

We measure one sac at .95 cm which is considered 7 weeks. I was very confused because I thought I was at 4 weeks, but then I got the whole pregnancy math explanation and we are 7 weeks today!

She said that heartbeat was great and that lowered the chance of miscarriage, but I am not really sure by how much.  I feel like I have so many questions that I can’t even articulate when I am in the office my brain just starts swimming.

There was another implantation site with a sac, but no heartbeat.  When she mentioned that she could see another site that had implanted I was immediately filled with terror.  I was so relieved when she said there was no heartbeat.  I guess I wasn’t ready for twins!

I was given permission to stop the progesterone, estrogen and baby aspirin which thrilled me!  While it was better than shots, it wasn’t much fun.  It certainly put a damper on me feeling sexy.

So that makes out magical 12 week date on December 9th and due date on June 22nd which happens to be the day of an event I am responsible for.  Bummer! 

My boss is anxious for me to meet with HR, but I need to wait until that magical 12 week date.
