Jim and I went to the doctor for our first ultrasound and visit today. In just a few minutes, we saw a blob on the screen and tiny heartbeat. Upon seeing the heartbeat, the list of all the concerns started:

1. The heartbeat was a little slow for a 7-week baby. (91 beats per minute)
2. The baby was measuring 6 weeks 3 days instead of 7 weeks 2 days.
3. I was experiencing sac separation.
4. I had two cysts on my ovaries.

We talked to the doctor and she expressed her concerns and we expressed ours since we had already lost one baby and I felt that this would end in the same way. We made an appointment to have a repeat ultrasound in one week. This is a picture of the sonogram picture of the sweet little munchkin.
