Here it is: Ultrasound update! :D

Hey girls, you cannot know how awesome it feels to know you are all here rooting for me and the little bean!  YOU ALL ROCK!

My appointment went really well this morning... the little bean is doing great and is even a day ahead of schedule, so my official due date is now May 28, 2011!

A bittersweet moment occurred when my doctor told (and showed) DH and I that there were actually two sacs present, but the second showed only a yoke, and apparently never developed.  Shocked to hear that there might have been two beans in there, and a little sad.  But the strong little bean shouldn't be affected by the empty sac, and the OB said it the second sac will probably be reabsorbed. :( There's no history of twins in my family... must just be my over-anxious eggs wanting to make sure something stuck!

My OB doesn't measure the heart rate, but we saw it flickering away on the screen!  We'll go see a geneticist next Monday to talk about testing and schedule the NT Scan.  Crazy, wonderful day!

Here's a pic (it's a straight on shot, big head to the left, little arm and leg stubbies sticking out on each side, and I think you can even see the belly button and maybe the umbilical cord swinging below):

So there ya go, Aunties!  Enjoy!!!

  • Wow, reading all these replies is making me tear up -- you are all too sweet! 

    GeorgeAnne (and anyone who's interested) ~ I'm definitely feeling morning sickness... it actually lasts pretty much all day (and started about two weeks ago).  I don't get sick, luckily, but I feel queasy most of the time, and I get headaches.  Food seems to set it off or make it worse, even though I still enjoy eating! Though last night I tried to cut up some broccoli and had to stop because I couldn't stand the smell of it... and normally I LOVE broccoli!

    I've also got a "bloat bump" though I can pass it off as normal weight gain so far.  Many of my pants don't button though, so I just bought some maternity jeans, and am hoping they will fit me this early and grow with me!

    May 28, May 29, either way this little Gummy Bear (as DH calls it) will be in excellent birthday company!
