Almost pregnant.

Last week Marci had an ultrasound which revealed a perfect looking egg and yolk sac for someone 5 weeks and 5 days pregnant. This would be perfect news except that we thought (by our calculation) we were about 7 and a half weeks pregnant. At 7 and a half weeks, we should have been able to see a "fetal pole" and "see" a heartbeat, which we didn't. The only part that gives us pause is that the 5 week calculation doesn't track back to a time when we think we could have conceived. Our records on that, however, might be imperfect.

Tomorrow at 11:00 we will have a repeat US, which should reveal if everything is fine. The nurse practitioner (who was great, by the way--super informative and took a lot of time with us) did say that the implantation looked great (in the uterus and not ectopic, for example) and confirmed that it looked like a solo baby-to-be and not multiples.

So, basically everything is fine, other than this slightly disquieting date discrepancy. If there is no heartbeat tomorrow, that news becomes a bit more ominous.

Marci feels great so we're being optimistic. I have to say all of this does not feel quite as fraught this time around since we have the Little Man keeping us so busy.
