Alive & Kicking!

Thank you everyone for sending all those lovely thoughts, prayers and well wishes our way.

I am overjoyed to report that this morning's ultrasound went perfectly, and I am quite floppy with relief.

Not only did we see the most beautiful heartbeat in the world, but we got to hear it too. I was so moved by the experience that I wept through the entire appointment. The heartbeat was robust and the doctor said it looked great. The baby was measured at 7w3d - which is exactly what I am today. It could not have gone better.

We were given an ultrasound photo which I was tempted to take a picture of and post (we don't have a working scanner), but the printout is so small and grainy I don't think it would be of any interest to anyone but D and me. But I have to tell you, it is the most gorgeous little baby you've ever seen.

I can honestly say this is the happiest day I can ever remember having in my whole life. This is all starting to feel so real.

I must admit, I am starting to get excited...
