I just dared to go on a baby site to figure out my due date. What pops up is "what my 10 month old is doing/learning now". I have told myself I need to stay away from these sites, but it's very tempting to see what my little 7 week rainbow is doing. Ultrasound tomorrow, should hear heartbeat. I heard James' at 6 weeks, 5 days and tomorrow I will be one day past this. I am not scared though, which is totally not me. I have been nauseous, hungry and extremely tired, so I am hoping these symptoms mean everything is OK. If not, it's better to hear that there's no heartbeat now than one day before delivery. I think I will be much worse as this pregnancy progresses, as now there's nothing anybody can do. Trying not to get my hopes up, taking this really day by day.

I am excited for you to hear your lil rainbow\'s heartbeat. I am sure James is keeping a close eye on this one for you. I hear ya on those websites. I still get emails on what my 10 month old should be doing. It is such a slap in the face. I finally signed up on the weekly updates when I got out of the first trimester. It is scary but there is nothing we can do except try to stay positive and do everything right that we are suppose. I am praying for you that you have a strong hb tomorrow. (((Hugs))) Andrea
All of those sound extremely normal!!! I am so excited for you and all of the other rainbow makers here. I pray that you will have a healthy screaming baby around May or June!!!
Hugs!!!

Hope that everything is great tomorrow! Taking one day at a time is probably best but try to enjoy your rainbow as much as you can.

Keeping you in my thoughts and hoping all is well tomorrow! Hugs, Corrine
Hope all goes well today; speaking only for myself, but the anxiety is up and down during a rainbow pregnancy. For me, the reality of it all hit at 20 weeks. And although that was a good milestone to get through, the fear ramped up. Thinking of you, Kelsey
I\'m sorry about the website thing. I know how tempting it to look at these kinds of things and see what James would be doing. I don\'t allow myself to do it because everytime I get really upset and then dwell for a few days after on what Lauren would have been doing. I am excited to hear about your ultrasound. I didn\'t hear Lauren\'s heartbeat until 9 weeks but that is because they used a doppler not ultrasound. It is so exciting hearing the heartbeat. I know you are trying to hold your hope back a bit and you have every right. I keep praying for you though and have a good feeling. Hope everything went well and cant wait to hear. Hugs, Lindsay
