The Belly Bean is growing!

We had our second ultra sound today which sadly George missed. He had meetings in the morning and I had our Meet the Teacher night at school this afternoon and since I HAD to be there I had to schedule by which time worked best for me. Luckily a friend volunteered to go so I didn't have to make the 2 hour trek alone. I was very nervous this week because I'm into week 6 and all the books say that if you're going to get morning sickness this would be the week. Well silly me, instead of being grateful that I'm keeping all my meals down, I was worried! Yes me the puke-a-phobe! I was just afraid that something was wrong... I was WRONG! We got to see our one little belly bean growing strong. The second embryo didn't make it, and while we're sad about that we're rejoicing in the fact that we have one baby growing strong and healthy. I was so excited because I knew that we'd get to see the heartbeat and I was totally SHOCKED that we got to HEAR the heartbeat, it was the most amazing sound ever! It was a strong heartbeat at 122 and it was great to hear it, very reassuring! This was our last week with the RE, we've graduated to a regular OB and we'll see him in 2 weeks, 2 weeks of waiting to see the baby again... I'll survive, I think:~) The first picture shows the heartbeat at the bottom, the other 2 are just showing how big the belly bean's getting! Can't believe the change from last week!
