Ok! We didn't expect to hear the heart tones today, BUT WE DID!!! Like my husband said, "it's a sound that reverberates through the soul!" I've been tired and a little nauseated, but no vomiting. The blood clot is still there, but it is in a good place. (It has a front row seat next to the exit sign.) I have been upgraded to modified bed rest. Yay!!! The baby is tucked away safe and sound at the very top of the uterus in the fundus. Dr. C said I have to come back in 2 weeks for one more ultrasound before he realeases me. I am so so sad. I have had the best doctor and nurses ever at this clinic and I hate to leave them. Dr. C has seen me on Christmas Eve, countless Sundays and during Mardi Gras parades. Hopefully the OB I wind up seeing is just as attentative and available as Dr. C has been. Good news is that he has 4 more of our embryos on ice and I suppose we will be returning for those sometime in the future. Meanwhile, here's a picture of our sea monkey!

Awesome news!!! Congratulations again!
I thought that I had responded to this already, but apparently the little intelligence I had remaining has be sucked right out of my brain.
At any rate, I am glad that you had a great appointment! I kept checking your blog for updates and was relieved to see that your good vibes were really inidicative of everything going well with the babe. :)
Congratulations on a great appointment, and thank you for your comments in my blog! I didn't get to hear the heartbeat - can hardly wait until I do. I was 7w2d on March 4 - we're due pretty much on the same day!
I read your post from Feb 22. I had some of the same concerns before going the IVF route since I also believe that life begins at conception and did not want to do anything that would destroy a life I created.
How are you doing, Susan? :)
Hey Everybody! I just wanted to let you all know that I'm still feeling pregnant. Yep, nausea, but no vomiting. Thank GOD! I'm terrified of vomiting. The queasiness is the worst in the evenings so that makes it hard to sleep at night. I'll be blogging again soon. My next and last check up with my RE is on Wednesday 3/19.
Thanks for checking in. Love to all!
