tiny heartbeat :)

Well, it was the longest week of my life waiting for those lab results, and waiting to check on the baby with another ultrasound, but the day finally arrived. Tuesday I saw Dr. Park again, and we not only could see the baby, but we could see the tiny heart beating! I will never get used to how amazing it is!

I am 6 weeks pregnant. The baby looks good. My due date is May 30, 2009. My progesterone did end up being a little low, so he put me on progesterone suppositories, and he still has me on "light duty" ... no cooking and cleaning, he says. Yeah, right... and no picking up my 2 1/2 year old kid who can't walk? sure... but I have been trying to take it easy. Our schedule has slowed down a lot. My mom has started taking James to therapy on Tuesdays, so I only have to take him on Thursdays. He hasn't had an excessive amount of doctor's appointments latley (for once)... and I am not watching baby Joel anymore. So, we've been able to be home and resting... It is beautiful outside. Perfect fall weather.. and I do wish that I had the energy to drag James all around the park or the pumpkin patch or something like that... but I don't.

I am thankful for the heartbeat. I am sure that I will continue to have a little bit of anxiety until I have my little one in my arms, and I can see for myself that nothing is wrong. As they say, it's not over till the fat lady sings.. but we are SO looking forward to our day in the hospital when we can all be together - our whole family of 4 - and that there would be nothing but joy. Ahhh, I can hardly wait.
