7w3d

Yesterday was the most happiest day of our lives. We got to see and hear the baby's heartbeat. It was so so cool. The baby measured 1.4cm (CRL) and we were amazed that it already had a beating heart. The heartbeat was at 148beats per minute and the doctor told us that it was great. The ultrasound tech was very nice and patient with us, even though she was running late and we were the last couple of the day. She took the time to show us the arm and leg buds and the spine of the baby. She also made sure the corpus luteum looked good and my cervix was closed. Based on the baby's length it was 7w2d and based on that my due date is July4, 2009. Then we met with the doctor who took so much time to explain everything to us. He assured us that occasional spotting is quite common with 40% of the pregnancies and my chance of a miscarriage at this stage is less than 5%. I get to continue my twice a week progesterone shots and go back for an ultrasound in 2 weeks. Yay, now I can rest in peace till Dec 2. Also my husband has named the baby TicTac as he had read online last week that it would be the size of a TicTac at 6 weeks. He also surprised me this morning with 2 DVD's for prenatal and postnatal yoga. Tracey Mallett's 3 in 1 Pregnancy System and Yoga Journal & Lamaze present by Kristen Eykel. I still haven't seen the DVD's yet and am so excited to go home and try them. Thank you all for your lovely comments as it really helped me stay calm to know that so many people out there are thinking and praying for me.
