Heart Beat!!

The ultrasound today dated the baby at 6w3d. We saw a very clear yolk sac, fetal pole, little arm and leg buds beginning to poke out, and a strong fluttering where my baby's little heart was just chugging away!! Had a heart rate of 125bpm, which is completely normal and healthy for this stage of the game and a VERY good sign. Some studies show 70-90% of pregnancies will produce a healthy living baby after a strong heartbeat is seen and heard on ultrasound, and others show more than 95% will come to term! So things are looking good. Still a bit concerned about the slow-rising hcg levels, and still have a full 6 weeks more before I can start breathing easily, but after seeing and hearing my little one's heart beating, I'm feeling a lot more confident.

And I finally believe that I'm pregnant. :o)
