round two!

I had my first appointment on Thursday. I'm not sure why but I had these underlying feelings this time around... like something would be wrong. I never made these feelings known because I didn't want them to be at the front of my mind. Maybe it's because I already had one completely healthy, normal pregnancy that surely something wouldn't go right this time. Well, actually everything looked just fine! The only thing is that I was measuring five days earlier than what I had predicted based on my Fertility Friend chart.

The ultrasound was measuring the fetus at 6 weeks and 5 days. Therefore, I had to have ovulated on June 25 or cycle day 26 (the last temperature dip) instead of on June 21 or cycle day 22, as FF thought. That matches up with exactly where the ultrasound was measuring. So since I ended up in there so early, my midwife gave me the option of returning next week to have my betas drawn (they should double every 48 hours) so I'm going to go in on Monday and Wednesday to have that checked just to ensure that everything is progressing normally.

So there's the itty bitty bean!

In other news, Noah has graduated to the Infant II classroom at Childtime! Yay for Noah! He will be happy to crawl around with the other "big kids" now.

And happy 27th birthday to Matt today. :) I bought his favorite Starbucks coffee and had it ready for him this morning (even though he admitted to breaking into it last night). I also got him a book, "The Road to Serfdom", and some cologne and a graphic tee from Express. One of his favorite meals is in the slow cooker right now (homemade spaghetti sauce) and I'll make strawberry angel food cake (per his request of course) for him later. I'm really excited for that part because I found a recipe that looks amazing from Allrecipes.com.
