Week 6.6 Scan

HB 128 bpm

Today was a very important day for us. It was the scan of all scans. Seven long days after my last ultrasound, I saw the most beautiful image that will forever be engraved in my mind. The flicker of my little bean's heartbeat on the monitor was singlehandedly the most important moment of my life, to date.

I saw my baby's fetal pole and strong heartbeat. It moved me to tears, overwhelming tears of utter relief and joy that the little one had developed so much in one week. I became emotional as I cried into my husband's shoulder after we were alone in the room. "Why are you crying? I told you there was nothing to worry about!"

I never felt so happy as I did at that moment after seeing life confirmed inside me. I know I'm not out of the woods yet. The doctor measured me at 6 weeks and 6 days...three days behind my LMP based gestational age. I still have one more month to go to complete my first trimester. My next scan is scheduled in two weeks. I'll probably be a nervous wreck as I get closer to the date!

For now, I'm just going to enjoy this beautiful moment for as long as I can.
