Good news

Saw the baby's heartbeat on the ultrasound and it didn't seem like anything was wrong, although the technician is not supposed to tell you. My doctor hasn't called yet; probably she doesn't have all the results yet.

But she didn't seem reluctant to show us or anything, although a bit reserved, after I told her about the spotting. Well, and Emily. Second pregnancy, etc. etc. I keep having to answer that question.

It was really just a blur mostly though, this dark roundness that is my uterus, a gestational sac, a highly magnified blur with a moving heartbeat-blur. Hard to believe that becomes a person, even a small person like my Emily.

However she (she's a she right now, although that may change) is only 6 weeks 1 day old, from the length of her vestigial tail. So clearly I ovulate on some very strange schedule, but that's okay. However it does make me a bit nervous because it puts the statistics back on the bad side for the possibility of a miscarriage and I don't feel ready to go through more loss right now.

The house did close today, so that's one loss, but also a relief.
