For me, I think it's a combination of fear, my nature to protect myself from the pain of unexpected bad news and the fact that I have had no m/s or symptoms of any kind (other than being especially weepy, which is very uncharacteristic of me). Now, I have always said, I want NO m/s, please - but, obviously, the flip side of that is it leaves me wondering if the little appleseed decided not to stick around. And, though I don't believe in a supreme being, I do believe that the right things often have a way of unfolding when they don't always seem the best. So I was trying to be ready for a couple of outcomes today.
You were all right! Other than measuring 2 days behind (I was told +/- 3 days is fine), the heartbeat was 123 bmp and everything looked "right on track." I was at my former RE's office in NJ and I was so lucky to get the doctor I most loved there today - he's so tender, gentle and kind. He flipped on the audio switch and I could hear the heartbeat waves. Wow!
Thank you all for the encouragement when I was, clearly, lacking.

Yay! that is great news! I am so happy for you. When is your next scan? Do you get them weekly in the beginning or is it a few weeks?
Very nice! I bet that the sound of the HB was the sweetest sound you've ever heard.
Beautiful, beautiful pictures - look at your little baby!!!! I am so extremely excited for you. I completely understand your fear and trying to protect yourself. I think we've become conditioned to not getting our hopes up too high - which is sad, but this is great news! I hope you can relax a little now and really enjoy the fact that you are going to be a mom!
Congratulations! Glad everything's looking good. Continued Good Luck to you!!
Lovely! And ain't it great when your bloggy friends can believe when you can't? :)
FWIW, I was also about 2 days behind. My OB said up to a week either way was normal. Not sure where I'm at now... will find out soon though.
I think you're on your way, baby!
I could not be more thrilled for you! Try to enjoy it at least for a little while until that old anxiety creeps back in. Remember, you have just reached a HUGE milestone here.
wow, what a wonderful pic! thanks for sharing it- made my day.
YAY!!! Great news. I'm so very happy for you!
Great news! I know the lack of symptoms can start the second-guessing game, but once you have hard evidence things are so much better! Now you can just be happy that you don't have to clutch a sleeve of saltines at all times and keep a bucket handy...
Congrats! All good news here on out!
I have the same m/s fight. It is comforting to notice it, but not so much fun to experience it.
Wooohooo!!!
Hey, Sky, I hope all is still well with you. How are you feeling? Any MS yet?
Post an update soon, please.
So glad for such an amazing appointment!
It has been a bit since your last post. How are you doing now? Any m/s yet?
Hey, just wondering if you are ok; hopefully you are sick as a dog with morning sickness. Thinking of you -
Just stopping in to see what was going on with you and how you were feeling! Its been a while and I thought I'd check in!
Two questions for you:
1) any more updates?
2) how can I get a dynamic blog list on my blog like you have?
Hey Sky... wondering where you are these days... hope all is well and that you're just too sick with m/s to write or update.
