It's positive!
This morning when I woke up, my mind was racing with what could happen today. When we arrived at the doctor's office my nerves went crazy! My mind was racing! I just wanted to rush the ultrasound room and get it over with. We met with the prenatal nurse first who was super sweet and very encouraging. She gave us a lot of information and told us our due date, which is September 19. She told me a lot of things that I cannot eat, which wasn't fun, but I will sacrifice those foods for Baby! We finally got into the ultrasound room and my heart was racing! I had my hands over my eyes and just didn't want to look. I still see the image of our baby last year and I did not want to see that again. As soon as she was in, I heard this noise and didn't know what to think. I asked if it was my heartbeat because it sounded so normal and strong. The ultrasound tech said, "Nope. That's your baby's." The tears started streaming as I listened to Baby's heart beating. I then looked on the screen and saw this little heart fluttering. It was truly a blessing to hear and see. She continued to measure just about everything and was taking pictures for the doctor to analyze. She then printed a picture for us to have and I asked if we could hear the heartbeat again. She not only let us hear the heartbeat and watch it flutter, but she took a picture of the heartbeat waves for us. Carey and I are so excited and relieved to have heard the heartbeat. Our doctor wants to see me back in 3 weeks to check Baby again just to make sure he's still growing. It is such a relief to me that they are taking so many precautions this time because of my miscarriage.

Baby's heartbeat
6 1/2 weeks (I know my family wants to see!)
Pardon how rough I look. It has been a long day.
There are a few things I have learned so far:
- being tired is an understatement
- morning sickness is not limited to the morning :/
- the smell of chicken and I do not get along
I know there will be many more, but this is what I remember right now. :)
