So things just keep getting better and better. My ultrasound measured me at 7 weeks 4 days today. We heard the heartbeat today, it was music to my ears!!! The u/s tech said the baby looks wonderful. No more high risk ultrasounds, my next appointment is next Tuesday for a prenatal appointment. Unfortunately it's with a midwife and I wanted a doctor, but Adam and I are going to be sure it's a doctor delivering, preferably the doctor I've trusted all along. Don't get me wrong, I have absolutely nothing against midwives, natural childbirth, and soothing noises, but I really just want my doctor who knows me and my needs.
I will blog after next appointment. We got u/s pics today, but they are really crappy and you can't see much, so I'm not going to post them. I will email anyone who wants them!!

The baby is in the correct place!
So our first official ultra sound was yesterday! We saw the sac and the yolk, it measured at about 5 weeks! Not as far along as we thought, but that’s ok, it’s in the correct place, it’s not in my tubes or floating around somewhere, it’s in my uterus. That was our number one fear. They are treating this just like a normal pregnancy now that my betas were good and my first ultra sound was perfect.
My pains have subsided somewhat, other than that, I am having wicked salty cravings. I need pickle juice. I know, I know, it’s really bad for me, but I’m drinking like 12 bottles of water a day. Lots of food is turning me off and my sense of smell is through the roof.
Our next ultra sound is on the 21st. We will be able to see the heartbeat and it will look sort of like a baby by then!
Adam and I consider ourselves so lucky. This is the miracle baby we have wanted. I can’t believe that today I canceled my initial consult with my new fertility specialist. We no longer need him. Wow, what a miracle. We are so grateful for this baby.
Here’s the good stuff!
Doesn't he/she look just like me?
