What a relief! We had good news today. I measured at exactly 6 weeks (so in addition to ovulating a couple of days later than average, I had a late implanter or something...) and its little heartbeat pulsed along at 95. It was a strange and wonderful feeling to have the tech actually talk to us about what she was looking at, and she let me put my pants back on without checking with the doctor first. All firsts for us!
In other news, everything makes me gag right now. It doesn't even require a smell or taste... just looking at or thinking about something can make me gag. A sampling from the last two days that made me gag repeatedly: noticing my bra was dirty, seeing a homeless man's long fingernails, seeing or smelling french fries, car exhaust, just being in the grocery store, thinking about the cat's litterbox, hummus, thinking about swallowing vitamins. It's pretty funny actually. I wonder what I look like walking down the street gagging - I'm sure it's attractive!!
I owe you all a blog about "coming out" on Facebook for National Pregnancy & Infant Loss Remembrance Day last week (which went well), but it will have to wait. Carlos and I need some sleep.
