I have to include the craziness of my week with this post because it makes it that much sweeter.
DS's horrible week
Monday and Tuesday DS came to work with me because he was running a fever. Wednesday DH and I split the day and DS stayed home. Thursday he managed to go to school all day but we found a rash on his belly and back after dinner. His fever spiked Thursday night and he barely slept all night. I called the pediatrician (I need to change) and they wanted to see Thomas. DH took him in and said he had Roseola and that the rash meant that it was on it's last legs. We took DS back to school and headed off to the u/s.
My lack of attention at work
I know I accomplished things this week. But I could have accomplished so much more if I had stayed on track. I found a pretty important formula error in a report I had handed out yesterday morning. I'm so glad I have two days of to focus on my family.
Needless to say, even though I had little time to worry about finding the heartbeat. I made plenty of time to worry and think about the ways things could go wrong. DS's pediatrician had to adjust their schedule so that we wouldn't miss the u/s.

So we heard the heartbeat. :thumb The yolksack is bigger than the baby. When the RE put the pointer on the baby's chest to show me the heartbeat he covered the chest. It was so awesome. A huge weight has been lifted off of my shoulders.
We are to continue the (wonderful) progesterone until the OB says to stop. They are happy that there will be a follow up u/s to make sure the baby is developing on schedule. They want to stay in the loop on the outcome of the pregnancy.
I told the nurse that, even though it sounded mean, I hoped to never set foot in their office again. Unless I am there to show off this baby.
