My second appointment for an ultrasound was on February 1, which was Nick's 34th birthday. I was uneasy all day while waiting for the 3:15 appointment. I was just so afraid the sack would be empty today. When I was waiting for her to start, I told Dr. Brown how worried I had been since last week and from my research on the Internet. She told me not to worry and that "that wouldn't be the worse thing." That did't feel very assuring.
Anyway, Nick came in and she started the exam. It just took a second for the image to appear and it was obvious that major changes had taken place in the last week. Our baby was there on the screen, the size of a grain of rice. Oh, I was so relieved! We could
even see a little flicker, which was the heartbeat. Dr. Brown says its at 116 beats/minute, which is perfect. It ended up being a happy birthday for Nick and I finally had the assurance that I desperately wanted. My next visit will be in four weeks. So at this visit, Dr. Brown said I was 6 weeks and 5 days, with a due date of September 21, 2012!
