Like a virgin

I can see your heart beat! For the very first time!

Yup, Madonna knows all. My heartbeat virginity was burst this morning when Mr. P and I saw the critter's tiny little heart beat, for the very first time.

It was pretty cool.

I've seen my ute so many times on an u/s machine, and when she put the wand in, I immediately said, "Well, I've never seen that before!" It was the sac (just one, as it should be, given we only transferred one) and a little critter, with a flickering heart. The critter was measuring a day ahead, at 6w5d, but honestly, I don't think u/s measurements are all that precise. So, in my mind, the critter's measuring on track. And with a lovely h/b of about 125 bpm.

Perfect.

I said to Mr. P afterward that I guess this means I now have a reason for feeling so tired and queasy. This is not a hysterical pregnancy. He looked at me, like I might just be that crazy for even thinking these thoughts, and said, "Yeah, cause that would be a whole 'nother can of worms. I'd be taking you to the inpatient unit instead of the OB." This is what years of training in psychology will do to you.

Anyway - YAY! I'm clinically pregnant! Woot!
