So we have made it to 8 weeks, and as of Friday still have a heartbeat. The heart rate was 164. Everything looked as the Dr said "absolutely perfect". Size is measuring right on target. I have been getting nauseous almost daily, which is a good sign per the Dr. I didn't know it was possible to be happy about feeling pukey, but I am grateful. I have one more ultrasound scheduled with the RE on Friday and then if everything still looks good she is transferring me back to my regular OB. This makes me kind of nervous but then again everything makes me a little nervous.
Although everything seems to be going well, I still have periods on extreme anxiety. I am so grateful for the weekly ultrasounds, since they have taken the edge off this very fragile time. But it is still so hard to be positive or optimistic. My mom asked me when I thought it would be okay to start feeling hopeful, and I just didn't have an answer.
I am hoping to buy a doppler in the next week or so I can use it to reassure myself when I get anxious. I had rented one when I was pregnant with my son and it really helped alot. I am still in a state of disbelief, it doesn't quite seem real.
I am not sure when it will seem real but I will keep you posted.
Surprising no one

Yay for feeling pukey and mostly yay for it meaning that you're still pregnant!
You give me a little hope. :)
I, too, am getting a doppler on friday. I just couldn't handle the stress and anxiety. Its hard...
and, yay for pukies!
I cant live w/o my doppler. It is wonderful.
I still dont have an answer to that "is it okay yet???" question. After loss, it's just not that easy...
I'm so glad to hear it. One day at a time...that's how babies are made!
