So we had our ultrasound this morning. Results: Heartbeat 130, fetal pole measuring 6w6d. (That's six weeks, six days for you fertile types.) In other words, good news.
I was shaking so badly through the whole thing that I was afraid the techs were going to yell at me to keep still, and they were so serious and poker-faced that B and I were terrified through the whole thing. But we have our little bean pictures, and with a little luck, we might actually get a baby this time.
Of course, the minute I got home I was bleeding again, but I called the clinic in a panic and they said that's normal after an ultrasound and not to worry, it should stop. We're hardly out of the woods, but after all we've been through, getting to this stage feels like a major triumph.
I am so excited for you guys! I will continue to keep my fingers crossed, though, since I know it's still too early to feel like it's a slam dunk (to quote George Tenet).

HOORAY!!! I am SO HAPPY FOR YOU! Yes, it's still early, etc., but fabulous news on finding a heartbeat and everything appropriately-sized! I had the bleeding-after-ultrasounds thing too. Hopefully it just means that like me you have a cranky cervix that doesn't appreciate being messed with during pregnancy (your cervix gets way pissy and vascular when you're knocked up, which you probably already know). I'm so, so, so relieved--I've been wringing my hands over here on your behalf!

Oh good. I'm so happy for you. Now, maybe you can breathe and relax for a bit and eat a whole bunch of food since your pregnant. It's the perfect excuse.

Sweet.
Don't let Brando buy any explosives until after it is born. You can't teach demo to a fetus, only a toddler.
