2+1=3!!

Well two weeks ago on Saturday, February 20th at 6:15 AM I couldn't wait a minute longer and decided to take a pregnancy test... and it came out incredibly positive! I took one later that afternoon to see if it was still positive, and got the same, very instant, result! aaahhh!

I called my OBGYN's office that following Monday and they scheduled an appointment for two weeks later- today March the 9th. I have to say I was so excited for this appointment that it felt like Christmas Day this morning! All day long I prayed that we would at least be able to see a heartbeat flutter since my estimation only put me at 5 weeks. Dustin met me at the office and as we were waiting, I started sweating a little bit and getting nervous and excited all at the same time. A few of the girls came in from their lunch break and gave me a high five because they were so happy to see me come in for pregnancy this time instead of more blood tests and Clomid checkups. I absolutely love my doctor and his whole staff! Everyone was hugging me and telling me congrats before I even went in to my little room!

Anyways, so Dustin and I were waiting, giving our medical backgrounds again for the nurse, and nervously joking around. We were brought into the ultrasound room to do all the work I needed and the ultrasounds all at once. My OBGYN was the one doing all the work, since he has been working with me for over a year in trying to get pregnant. He started the ultrasounds, and after measuring and looking a few ways I told him I thought I was only about 5 weeks along based on when I took my round of Clomid....He told me there was no way it was only 5 weeks! He measured at 8 weeks 2 days!!! Dustin and I were completely surprised!! We had no idea I was that far along! That means we were actually already pregnant when I took this second round of Clomid! (which is just fine, the dr said so..) I even had a negative pregnancy test before I started! Well, he then turned on the Doppler and a heartbeat came on very clear and strong- I asked, 'Is that my heartbeat?' Dustin and my Dr laughed and said 'No! That's the baby's heartbeat!' I was so nervous, I thought it was MY heart that he said was so strong! I was told right afterwards it was 158 beats a minute! I loved seeing the little flutter of a heart on the screen. It made me tear up and feel so calm and happy inside that everything was okay.

We are both just so thrilled and we are looking forward to my next appointment in 4 weeks! But we are looking forward to October 17, 2010 even more!!

This one has the measurements and due date on the bottom.

He took a 4D picture to check a few things to make sure- the baby looks like something I won't say.. you could probably figure it out for yourself... If you don't know what you are looking at, the baby is the hangy down thing near the top left of the circle. I just thought I would include this for posterity sake. :)
