It’s been snowing, raining, and slushing, and the sky has been mostly gray all day. But it’s a beautiful day in this neighborhood. That’s the song that’s spinning through my mind today (good old Mister Rogers).
Because…
Houston, we have a H E A R T B E A T !!!!
158 beautiful beats per minute!
7 weeks 4 days (I was spot on in my estimation).
Due date: September 11, 2008 (but my OB is still basing it on LMP, so it’s officially September 9, 2008)
Praise the holy heavens!! The only other time I made it this far with a heartbeat, I was blessed with my beautiful boy. So. Things are looking very promising and I’m full of hope. I have an ultrasound scan, but it’s just a little white blob with no recognizable parts — not nearly as impressive as Blue Moon Girl’s little spudster, in which you can clearly see the head and body — so I won’t bother posting mine.
I’ve been cleared to travel, so the Australia trip is still a GO! I just have a non-invasive screening right before, and a follow-up ob appointment directly after. And I’ve purchased compression hose to help thwart deep vein thrombosis. Shudder. I’m going to request an aisle seat so that I can easily stand, stretch, and make my way to the bathroom. I’ll pull the middle-aged pregnant lady card if need be.
