5 week 2 day ultrasound

Today as I went in with Isaac to the fertility specialist it was such a different visit than I normally feel walking into that office.  In the past it was full of dread, anticipation and sadness.  Today's was just straight joy and excitement; mixed with the tiniest bit of nervousness.  That seemed to go away though as soon as we got there. 

Everything was beautiful!  And baby is growing right on schedule.  She said as of now it only looks like 1 but she can not say with absolute certainty so we will be able to tell for sure at our appointment next week(on Halloween) when we go in for the next and hopefully last ultrasound with the fertility specialist.  Because if everything is good I'll be released to a regular Dr.  I also already set up my first prenatal appointment.  I decided to go with a nursing midwife instead of straight obgyn.  I like the homey feel they give and how involved they let you be in what is going on in your pregnancy.  Along with some other things that helped me make my decision.  So on November 5th I'll have my first appointment with them.

So below are the pictures of our first ultrasound.  Our beautiful baby bean.  So exciting!

Today we also had our third beta done as well which turned out excellent.  My numbers doubled again and today's beta was: 7016.  I have to say though a case of the pregnancy brain had hit already.  I heard the number and immediately questioned if that's actually a good number since the beta didn't double.  Then someone did the math and said it did double, it more than doubled I was at 3306 last time.  Yeah, its already happening.  Dun Dun Duh.......

I also decided to get my first ever flue shot.  With working with the public I really don't want to run the risk of getting sick.
