One beautiful heartbeat! The baby is measuring right on track at 6wks 4 days and had a heartbeat of 120bpm. It was the most beautiful sound I've ever heard. R was beside himself with excitement - which made me really happy to see. He kept saying "good job" to me which I thought was really funny. As if I just magically grew this baby with soil and water. Ha!
CCRM hasn't called yet with all of my hormone levels but I will update as soon as I get them. This is all starting to feel more real now. I am still very nervous, but feel very grateful that we have made it this far.
The symptoms have started to kick in. I pretty much constantly feel nauseous - although I've only thrown up twice. The first time was because of a cheeseburger and now I can't even think about looking at a cheeseburger - which really kind of breaks my heart because that's one of my favorite foods. The other time was after trying to swallow my prenatal vitamin - my gag reflex just isn't what it used to be! My face is still very broken out and I look hideous! And my boobs don't even look like they belong to me anymore! I continue to have these crampy twinges which freak me out every time, but I keep hearing it's normal so I'm trying to keep that in mind. It's all pretty uncomfortable and annoying - but it is FABULOUS! It is all well worth it and I just hope and pray that it continues as long as it needs to for this to be a successful pregnancy!

Today's beta
My beta today was 336 so it has more than doubled since last Friday!! Woohoo! The next step is I'll go in for blood work next Tuesday to check my estroiol and progesterone, and then I'll schedule my first ultra sound for two weeks from today, or as close to it as they can get it. I'm feeling a little more relief, but I'll probably continue to be super nervous until I hear that heartbeat. After that I'm sure I'll still be nervous all the time, but it will feel more real at that point. It's still just so early that it terrifies me! But at least i know something is happening right in there so that's a good sign!!
