I had my first ultrasound on Monday, March 10th. Jeff got to come into the room too, which was great! We got to see the heartbeat and the tech said everything looked great. She also gave us a picture, which just looks like a few small blobs inside of another larger blob.
After the ultrasound we met with the nurse practicioner. She said that as of Monday I was 5 weeks, 5 days along. However the embryo was measuring at 5 weeks, 6 days and the heartbeat was 90 bpm. So that was very good news. Although Jeff and I thought I was a few more days along than I really was. So as of today I am officially 6 weeks. She also told us that the due date looks like it will be November 5, 2008. Wow, quite a long time from now.
We go back on March 19th for the second ultrasound. Then we get to meet with our doctor. If everything looks normal he will release us to the regular ob/gyn at that point.
We haven't met with the doctor since early January I think. We've only seen nurses, techs, phlebotomists, secretaries and other doctors for the last 2 months. Jeff says he is a robot and has clearly been in the shop for repairs. I equate him to the Wizard of Oz...he is the man behind the curtain. It will be nice to finally meet with him again.
We'll have another update late next week.
