After last year's emotionally devastating death of our son (he was stillborn), my wife is expecting again. How could that be, and so soon after we were told we could start again? To have her inform me earlier this month on the basis of a cheap-y home pregnancy kit... it just didn't seem possible. I was a little skeptical, but hoped that it was true. I'd expected it to take a couple more months (at least), but within a week or two, it happened. (I've still got it!)
We had our first doctor visit today (well, yesterday if you want to be picky about it), which included an ultrasound. They've installed new color monitors at the hospital since we were there for the last ultrasound, and you can see the heartbeat in vivid red and blues, which helped us visualize what we were seeing. We are only 8 weeks along, so we have a LONG way to go, but we've got our fingers crossed and are hoping for a better outcome this time around.
Wish us luck.
