Eight weeks, two days

my little amoebaOkay, today part 1: There is a heartbeat! I was really holding my breath too. I saw th esac with the “contents” pretty well but didn’t see the heartbeat at first. THen there it was. A little fluttering, barely perceptible, but there. You could almost tell the individual chambers. It was amazing and a great relief. We even got pictures of the little amoeba. Then K got the van registered. All before 10am!

So huge weights off our shoulders. I go back to Dr. Foulk in two weeks for another ultrasound. So I have to reschedule with Dr. Brown.

Well, I finished my update at last. I didn’t even start it until after 3:00! Better late than never. And I got it published already, so I don’t have to do it in the morning. ;)

K brought home soup and sandwiches for dinner, which was nice. I even have 1/2 of mine left for lunch tomorrow. Afterward, we went over to Rite Aid and got some ice cream cones. H wanted chocolate chip cookie dough and I got mint chocolate chip. Well, when he saw his he didn’t want it so I had to trade with him. And you all said I was a horrible mother. ;)

Right now I’m trying to decide what to watch tonight. There is *nothing* on. We could always order pay per view but I can’t get excited about that. Maybe something we have? Or maybe we could do something enriching instead. Hmm… We’ll have to see after the Boy goes to bed, which will be soon. I’m just so happy there was a heartbeat!
