Well I made a promise to my husband to stay off the forum and internet in general regarding this pregnancy until after my U/S. I'm just getting too stressed out and don't know how to interpret anything. I need to relax and stop thinking about this constantly and how it could go bad. So I'm taking a small leave of absence and will be back to check in with all of you in 2 weeks. I hope everyone's bean counts are what they want and the wait is stressfree!!

Lyn- Best of luck with your US. You will be missed but we will all keep you in our thoughts until you come back.

I am leaving for Southern California and won't be back until next Wednesday night. I hope this trip will keep my mind off my US that is scheduled for next friday the 15th.

Has anyone heard from TamTam today? I am worried about her?

Hi ladies,
Lyn- My husband is saying the same thing. I just love reading the posts and keeping busy. ood luck w/your u/s!
Crazy question I had 2 betas and no more to go. My u/s isn't until 8/26! (I had to wait to get an afternoon appt.)
Does this sound right? Should I ask for another beta?
Cupcake- I am obsessed w/cupcakes! I just got cupcake tattoos and found cute baby outfits with em!
for everyone!

Smile 1st U/S Today!!!

Well, I had my 1st U/S today. Saw one sac with a little heart beating away. The RE thought there might be another smaller sac also but he couldn't see anything inside. I have another U/S scheduled in 2 weeks so we'll know for sure then if there are 2 babies but the RE seemed pretty confident that there is only one. What a wonderful experience to see the heartbeat!!! Good luck to rest of you!!!

Well everyone, I had my bean count today and we saw 1 perfect bean with a heart beat! The heart rate was 116 bpm. Thank GOD! My RE wants 2 more good ultrasounds before I graduate to OB because I live 1 hour away and my OB/GYN is part of a different hospital system.
