what i found out today...

is not a whole lot. but since you all have said you're waiting on the update i figured i'd better do that quick!!

i've forgotten to mention that amelya has been going to VBS this week at a local church. she's been LOVING it and comes home teaching me what she's learned. so sweet. we have to go there tonight a bit early so they can perform songs they've learned.

okay. the update.

it really isn't much. but it isn't bad. so that's good.

the ultrasound tech, same one i had last week...and i love her, said she's not sure why the dr. ordered this ultrasound yesterday. ((it was a dr on call..my dr is on vacation...or as they say 'out of the office'...)) the nurse apparently wrote down that my dates and ultrasound 'matched' last week. they didn't. the u/s tech said had the dr known that he wouldn't have ordered the u/s.

so what we did find out.

last week i measured at four weeks. this week i measured at five weeks. so my gestational sac is growing appropriately. it is still too early to see anything. at five weeks sometimes you do. and sometimes you don't see a yolk sack.

last week there were two spots on the ultrasound. i noticed, as did the tech, today there was only one. so the other spot 'absorbed' back into me apparently because i did not, and have not, had any bleeding.

the u/s tech brought up something 'interesting' she said that you can sometimes be pregnant with twins and one doesn't make it. your hcg levels can do 'funny' things. so i asked her if perhaps that other spot 'could have been' another baby. she said it very well could have been.

SO. maybe it was. maybe it wasn't. either way the sac that is still there is growing nicely. and how it 'should' be.

in a way the news is neutral. because your gestational sack can still grow even if a baby is not. but for right now i still remain hopeful that there is in fact a baby growing in there.

so now i wait til next week. still. lol. my ultrasound is scheduled for 2 on wednesday. next week will tell us for sure what is going on.

i did meet with the oncall doctor today. ((he was super nice and informative!!)) he said he could run hcg levels but it really wouldn't tell us too much. so i chose not to. i will continue to wait on my god.

but let me tell you this. i was SO nervous this morning. as we pulled into the parking ramp at the hospital. i felt this crazy overwhelming make you wanna cry peace. i felt it. i'm SO serious. it was amazingly beautiful. i can only describe it, as undescribable. because i should've been nervous and more scared then. but i wasn't. i can only attribute that to your prayers. thanks so much.

i also had a sweet friend call me when i was in the u/s. do you know when it was. at one. do you know when this sweet friend called me at exactally? one. i didn't tell you what time my appt was. so to me friends...that was god. thanks sweet friend. :0) you know who you are...you made me cry. and then laugh out loud hysterically. hope the bee sting is better. ;0)

so with that...i'm off to find some supper.
