7 Weeks - Ultrasound Day!

There's only one! What a relief! Baby's heartbeat was 141 BPM and he/she measured at 7 weeks 0 days. That makes my due date November 28th. We were so relieved to see it on screen. Of course, I haven't gotten the official report from my doctor yet - that probably won't happen until Monday.

I almost didn't get to have the test today. My OB's office called to say that they were closing early due to weather and that my appointment would have to be rescheduled to next week. However, I used to work in another area of the building that does ultrasounds and so I took my order there and got in right away. They had some cancellations so that worked out great!

I have been feeling about the same. Tired, going to the bathroom a lot, and now my face is breaking out. Fun stuff. At least I'm not vomiting or anything. I'm over halfway through the first trimester, and only five weeks away from the end of the major miscarriage threat, so that's exciting. It won't be long for that milestone to come. Of all the pregnancy milestones, that one comes the slowest and relieves the most worries.

Katie,
Great news about only one! Wouldn't it be weird if you delivered on Hadley's birthday??? I passed my glucose test yesterday, so I am relieved about that.
I am breaking out too...mine didn't start until just a month or so ago though. It is worse than before I was pregnant and there's nothing I could do about it... Oh well! I am glad that things seem to be going well.
Well, hopefully I will talk to you soon! Take care!

I'm so glad you got to see that wonderful heartbeat! You know your chances of carrying to term now are over 90%, right? The reason why the first trimester is such a big deal is because that's the soonest they used to be able to hear the heartbeat. So just enjoy all this worrying you'll be doing for this baby for a long time to come! Congrats, Mommy!
