Ok. I'm trying really hard to be cool about my US tomorrow but it's not working. I don't think I will sleep much today. This may or may not be helpful, but before my appointment this morning I kept telling myself, "if the worst happens, I know I will survive". Knowing that even if this was another loss, I'd carry on helped me. I'm sorry this is so scary. I know. I've done it twice. It's going to be harder with a 3 year old whose favorite episode of Daniel tiger right now is the new baby episode. She sings the song from it all the time. But I can also take comfort in that I have her. And she's pretty awesome. |

Weeks pregnant: 8 weeks even Baby is the size of a: raspberry FTM/STM/TTM/etc: 4th pregnanc, 2nd time mom Team: find out Appointments: 2 weeks from today at 10 weeks I will graduate from the RE if all looks good. Symptoms: nausea, tired, food aversions Milestones: I just had a great ultrasound. I couldn't get a heartbeat number, just because he said he couldn't do that on his machine and didn't want me to have a number to obsess over anyway. But he said "look at this screen, I'm going to use the colorful doppler" and there was a bright red beating blob in the middle of a perfect looking tiny baby shaped mass. He was like, "What part of 'perfect' would you like to discuss first?" He also said that 95% of women with an ultrasound like this go on to have a baby. 👐❤😭😁 Rants/Raves/Vents: see above Ok well this made me cry!❤️❤️ so happy you had such a wonderful scan! |

I have a healthy baby in there!!!! Measuring 9 weeks 2 days. The heart rate was a little high at 184 but the tech said it was probably because I was pretty worked up. I think I might actually have this baby!

Ok, I'm jumping in.
Weeks pregnant: 4+1
Baby is the size of a: not sure, something very small
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: fourth pregnancy, STM
Team: not sure if we will find out
Appointments: US next Thursday
Symptoms: a little tired and nauseous
Milestones: Both of my losses this year were at 18 dpo, so I will feel a sense of relief when I get past that.
Rants/Raves/Vents: I had my second beta draw today and it was 253 at 15 dpo. First one was 64 at 12 dpo, so I'm feeling as optimistic as I can right now.

I had my scan a little bit ago, and I have a healthy baby with a heartbeat of 154 measuring perfectly at 7 weeks and 5 days! I’m so in love with watching that heartbeat!  Edited to change the pic just a bit |

Sorry we traveled 7 hours today to visit with family this weekend. I ended up doing a lot of driving because I was less nauseous while driving. Here's a pic!  |
