Re: Kirsten - ultrasound results

Jo-Ann,

You're so sweet to think of me and worry. Before I go on, I'll just say,

everything is AOK from what they could see. Whew! I am so relieved. The

reason I didn't get back on just had more to do with our starting to get

ready to move to our new house. I have felt so stressed with my pregnancy

and our impending move coming together.

Anyway, they made me wait in the office like 30 minutes for my ultrasound. I

was walking around the whole time, nervous as a cat. Finally, she starts

looking and says nothing. After about 10 seconds which seemed like an hour,

I said, " Do you see anything? " She says " uh hm " . So she turns it around and

I get to look at the little sac RIGHT IN MY UTERUS. I was so relieved. She

sad the sac looks like a good size, but she couldn't really measure the fetus

since it was so small - normal for my dates. My HCG levels taken on Friday

were 3384 (21 days after ovulation) and they drew blood again yesterday. I

should get those results back this afternoon. I am a little nervous about

that because the doctor seemed so tentative in telling me that everything

looked OK. She kept saying that we'll know more after we get the blood tests

back. I wish I had asked her if she saw any reason to think things are not

OK. Maybe she's just being very cautious or something. Anyway, I certainly

feel heathily pregnant and am pooching out more every day.

I am SOOOO glad I can start ignoring all these post-surgical twinges I still

get with regularity. Even if something did happen, and I miscarried, I think

I could take that with grace. Just to know that I'm not facing surgery again

is wonderful.

Thanks for listening!

That's wonderful news. I'm so happy for you. I have my second u/s tomorrow in

search of a heartbeat. I'll be praying for you.

PS. Maybe I'm just clueless on internet abbreviations in general, but what does

JMJ+ mean?
