Update from today's appointment...

Nothing is wrong, broken, moved or out of place. No idea where the brown spotting was coming from but everything is fine.

**AHHHH** Big sigh of relief

However, The 45 minutes waiting in the dr. office was agony. I think I almost passed out twice because I kept repeating “it’ll be okay” and I don’t think I was breathing. Plus the fact that they took me 35 mins later than my appt made it feel even longer… dammit, I hate being an add-on.

The nurse technician said everything looked good and she said there is no cause for alarm. She understood my concern and said not to worry as many people would want to come in to make sure everything is okay.

From last week, our little rice-o-roni doubled in size (15 mm as opposed to 7 mm) and has a heartrate of 173. She said everything looks good and I was even able to see more of a head. Rice-o-roni isn't really a grain of rice anymore, but shaping up into the beautiful person it'll be.
I think I teared up more today than last week when she told me that the baby was still there and has a heartbeat. I kept asking so many questions before she had gotten to that spot. Thankfully she was patient with me. And by today's ultrasound, I'm still at 8wks today.

I'm still jittery, but I'm going to try to relax now. Thanks to everyone for the thoughts, they came in handy!
