The most beautiful sight....

My DH & I saw the most beautiful sight this morning when we got to see our little bean and his/her heartbeat! It was incredible and amazing. I could not stop smiling = ) I was so nervous at first as my RE (who is a teaching RE) showed the resident around my uterus/ovary area and I did not see anything. Then, he said "I bet you want to get to the good part" and he brought our little bean up within seconds. We could see the heartbeat immediately.

I am 6w6d today and my little bean is measuring right at 6w6d today. My due date is 10/19/10. It is still very early and I am still nervous of course but we decided to tell my parents tonight. We actually just texted my mom and are going to see if she calls in the next 10-15 minutes. If not, we will call my mom & dad to tell them. We have decided not to go public otherwise until we have reached the 2nd trimester. My parents know about our treatments and have been a great support so we thought it was OK to tell them a little earlier.

Unfortunately, I have to wait three whole weeks until my next ultrasound. I was hoping it would just be two but my RE wanted to wait three. I figure if I get really nervous, I can always call and ask for an extra one (I will have to pay for it out of pocket but that would be OK to me.) I will be making an appt soon with an OB, hopefully to occur very shortly after my next RE appt!

I know we still have a long ways to go and I will probably forever be nervous -- but I wanted to share the good news and say thank y'all for your wonderful support. I could not have made it through the last few weeks with you!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!
