All systems go

Houston, we do not have a problem.

I am ecstatic! My OB/GYN not only found the egg yolk and the fetal pole, she showed us a HEARTBEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

The ER doc is apparently an idiot and should be chastised for scaring poor pregnant ladies with a blighted ovum diagnosis.

I am measuring dead on for 6w2d and I feel like the weight of the world has been lifted off my shoulders.

She said the spotting was implantation -- which normally occurs anywhere from 5-7 weeks. The doc said it just burrowed in deeper and was attached posteriorly, but she had no trouble find the bean with the vaginal ultrasound.

The risk of miscarriage drops to less than 3 percent after you see the heartbeat, so we are breathing a little easier. Obviously something could still go wrong, but at least there is a baby in there right now and it's growing.

Great, great news for a Monday. And yes, it was the longest weekend of my life.
