We had our second viability test today. The appointment was at 9:40am with Shelley again. We got there early and so got a tea at Starbucks and waited till time. Then we went up for the ultrasound. HUGE difference from the prior week. We saw a much larger Gestational Sack (the black area in the ultrasound. We also so a fetus and the yolk sac. But most important of all, we saw a little flickering heart beat! The baby is only .73cm and yet inside it there is a tiny heart just beating away.
Shelley said everything looked great, normal growth for a little over a week, everything in the right spot, that I was about 6 weeks and 5 days along. That also put my due date at this point to be around January 17th.
I mentioned to her the brownish, pinkish discharge I had over the weekend and she said that sounded normal but to be sure to call them if it came back or anything else that worried me came up just to be sure. Otherwise we were to make our first 'official' appointment for sometimes between my 8th and 10th week of pregnancy.
We went out, bumped into Dr. Johhansen and told her we got a heartbeat and joked about seeing her on tv (she was in a commercial for Swedish Hospital). She was happy for our progress and we told her we'd see her in a few weeks.
Our next appointment is June 12th at 2pm!
