We have a Heartbeat AND a certified pea in a pod!!

We have a pea in a pod!!! We went to the doctor for our first ultrasound on Wednesday and after waiting for what seemed like FOREVER to get back in the exam room, we finally made it in the room and were shown a picture of the most amazing thing ever!
There the pea was, just a small little blip in a jalapeno shaped orb (aka the uterus!) My MIL said she thinks it looks more like a heart shape which makes it a little more romantic I suppose. The best part of the visit? We SAW THE HEARTBEAT! It was fluttering away like little wings-amazing. I was given a double dose RX of iron pills, and a B-12 shot in my bum and pretty much sent on my way. I am to go back in two weeks for more pictures, I think the doctor was a little surprised I was there at six weeks and three whole days. So he said we would take a lot more pictures at eight weeks. Naturally the one US pic that looks like SOMETHING he kept for his file! At least we know its there-and at least we saw the HB...now only a few more weeks of worrying to get past the 12 week mark. Man. So much happening my head is spinning!

I went in early too and made them give me an early ultrasound! Isn't that the most amazing thing in the world. Daren thought our first ultrasound looked like a squashed milkdud, but I think a heart is much more romantic. HA!
