Well there we have it. Friday Jason and I spent HOURS at the doctors office. As always waiting for an appointment, then waiting in a room for another room. Then waiting for the dr, then waiting for the transvaginal machine to appear in the room.. you get the point. Then, finally the moment of truth, waiting to see a baby's heart flickering on the screen. The Dr. could not confirm a heartbeat, and I felt my heart crumble, as I squeezed Jason's hand off. They asked if I wanted to go to radiology to confirm the "no heartbeat" today, I of course said yes.
So the nurse comes back with several cups of water, of which I must start pounding immediately for the ultrasound in about 30 minutes. (I think you usually have about an hour or more to do so normally!) I finish my water and we head to radiology. They take us back and instruct me to change, in the stinkiest room ever. They are ready for me right away, but Jas was not allowed to come back with me at that point. It felt like an eternity of silence, and finally after 30 minutes or so, she sends me to the bathroom so they can do ANOTHER transvaginal ultrsound. I ask if I can grab my husband and she simply says no, I want to get all the pictures I need first... at some point so the tech tells me there's a baby and a heart beat. She gets Jason, and shows us the most beautiful little flickering heartbeat (since Owen of course). Yet again I squeeze Jason's hand off. She also mentions something about 6 weeks and a couple days for measurements (when I thought it should be 8 weeks to date). ANYWAYS, after all the ups and downs, there is officially a little George growing with a wonderful flickering heartbeat. Jason confesses afterwards that he wasn't buying the dr's no heartbeat, which makes me feel like I was too willing to give up. But I am glad he was right. Went back up to see the dr, and he changes the due date to March 18th. I am CONVINCED, I will have another small baby closer to the beginning of March. Time will tell :)
