Well, as always for me it is the worst-best case scenario. Always enough to make it one more step but not enough to leave us feeling relieved. There IS a heartbeat. If we could just leave it at that we would be fine. Then the measuring started. When I miscarried last year the baby was measuring 2 days behind at this point. So today we were saying that would be the worst (while still getting a heartbeat of course.) We were shocked when the doctor told us the baby is measuring 5 weeks 6 days--we are 6 weeks 6 days!!! That is a full week behind. According to the dr. it is still ok (but he said that last time--so it is hard.)
There were two sacs-meaning we did start off with twins and lost one early on. That made me sad. Having one not implant seems easier than having it implant and not survive for some reason. Since the numbers were so low to begin with we know it didn't hang on for very long at all.
So, once again, we move forward--still hanging on. We have another ultrasound next Tues.
We don't really know how to feel about all of this. Having been through all this before and losing the baby at 8 1/2 weeks. We just can't handle that possibility right now.

Oh Lord. Why does this have to be so difficult?
I'm very happy that there was a heartbeat. I'm sending up a quick prayer right now that everything looks great next week. Try to hang in there sweetie.
Thanks for updating. I was thinking of you this morning.
I'm so sorry Kim, I don't know what else to tell you. I'm thinking about you and hoping next week's u/s in better.
Love ya,
Kim
There's a heart beat - concentrate on that Kim, hold onto it for all you're worth. I'm praying so hard that the u/s next week is better. With all these prayers heading your way, the baby has to be fine. Thanks for posting - we've been waiting for it.
