Our First Ultrasound

So today's ultrasound went very well!  We got the report back that the baby's heartbeat was 120 bpm and everything looked normal.  Yay!!!!!!!  And B texted me a pic of the gestational sac from the ultrasound!  It brought tears to my eyes!  

I mean...that's our baby right there!!!  I can't even believe it!  I was so excited that I told two co-worker friends.  (I'd previously told myself that I wouldn't tell anyone at work until the first trimester was over, but I couldn't contain myself.  The excitement bubbled over!!)  

Anyways...so great!  B has another ultrasound in two weeks!!  I can't wait for updated pics!  In the meantime, N and I need to go and pack up a care package for her tonight.  We're going to send her some music plus stuff for her kids.  

Oh, and lastly, thanks to everyone for your prayers for B!  She and her husband are working things out.  He's back home as of mid-week last week and things seems back to normal.  Not sure what wild hair went up his a$$....but hopefully he is fully back to his senses.  I'm just hoping he realizes what a good thing he has in her.  She's an amazing woman!!!!  (Her superpower is baking babies in her tummy!!)     

8dpt - HPT results - BFP!!!

There's no denying that both the cheapie strip test and the FRER test are showing pink lines today!  So excited!  And our first beta results test is tomorrow!  I can't wait to update you all!

7dpt - HPT Results - Second line still there!

Well, it's now 7 days post transfer and B (our surrogate) is still showing a second pink line for the 1st Response brand HPT.  Yesterday, B used another brand and didn't get a line (not sure of the brand).  She tried both brands today, and says there is a very faint line on the second brand.  (I can't see it in the pics, but she assures me it's there.)  Meanwhile, the original 1st response brand second pink line seems to be showing a bit stronger than our 5dpt pics.

I'm trying to find out what the second brand of HPT is from the agency.  (They're the ones who sent them to her.)  Once I find out, I'll update the post.  At any rate, I don't like that new version b/c I have no idea what I'm supposed to be looking at.  UPDATE:  The second version is from www.early-pregnancy-tests.com

In the meantime, we have our first beta test on Monday.  It was originally Tuesday, but the RE moved it to Monday.

*Fingers Crossed for good numbers!!*
