Houston...we have a heartbeat!

I was so incredibly scared going into todays appointment. I was trying to mentally prepare myself for the bad news I was surely going to get, and trying to figure out how I would make it to my dentist appt and dog's vet appt later today without being a basket case. As I sat on the table waiting for the doctor to come in, I could feel my heart beating out of my chest. I felt like I was going to puke. When they finally started the scan, I heard three words I didn't think I would ever hear, "there's the heartbeat." I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes, and my voice was a little shakey as I asked, "can I see it?" As soon as they turned the screen, I could see the little flickering of Patches' heart. It was beating at 113 bpm, which is right in the normal range right now. Everything is measuring right at 6w5 d. I have one more u/s with my RE next Friday, and then I'm released to my OB! I already have an appt set up with them for January 26th. I am so happy, and really feel more at ease now.
