Amber's Diary EntriesDiary Navigation: |
April 30, 2002
All I can say is music to my ears. I didn't sleep at all on Sunday. I just tossed and turned. I was so nervous about my apt on Monday. I was just besides myself.
I get up that morning and get going. I get to the office 10 minutes early, and of course it's packed. Any other time, I can get in and out of there in 20 minutes. Ugh.
Anyway, I get called and I go. I couldn't look at the screen, I was terrified after the bleeding incident I had. All I really remember is the tech saying, see this, I was like what. She goes, right here and points to this little flicker on the screen. My little peanuts heart was just a beating. I was in total shock. I couldn't believe it. I asked her if we could hear it, and sure enough, I got to hear it. It was pure music to my ears! My DH didn't get to be there, and I really wish he could have been there.
I was 6 weeks exactly on Monday. It was between 98 and 100. SO they said that was good.
This is one hurdle. We never made it this far with the first one. So I still have a LONG way to go. But its such an awsome sound. I'm still under the care of my RE until further notice. He said that right now, we have to wait for the heatbeat to increase and go from there. So I'm still praying so much that our little one makes it. I'm so hoping that this one is it, and that all the blood stays away!
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. We so appreciate them. I'm still very scared. I have lot of pressure in my lower abdomen, which I'm guess is normal, but I'm not sure. As I said before tho, we still have a long way to go, but with a lot of hope, love and prayers, I think we can do it.
Stacey, I'm praying that your beta comes back positive Thursday! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you! Come on little ones!
On a different note, we wound up telling my parents that I was pg, only in a freak moment of panic. Then come to find out, that my Mom had a mammogram come back bad, and didn't want to tell me to stress me out even more. She had to have another one done, and thank God, that one came back ok. When it rains it pours don't it.
I did get some bad news today. My DH's cousin found out that she has breast cancer. It's in the very early stages, but she is so young. She's only 30. They have 3 littles also, from 3 to 6 months. We are keeping her in our prayers also.
Well I'd better get back to work. I still have a ton to do.
Good luck to all of you wonderful ladies! Lots of positive baby dust to you all !!+++++++++
Love,
Amber
