Houston, we have a heartbeat!

I had my 2nd of I'm sure many u/s's this morning at the EFW Clinic. I'll admit that I did not really like this tech as much as I did the one last time, but unfortunately I can't pick them sooo... She was nice enough, just a bit of a no-personality and a bit rough with the "magic wand" which I had the pleasure of using again because I fell under the 8w mark. /grumble She also seemed a bit bothered that I came in so "early" 2w ago, and said it in a way to underly that no wonder we did not see the fetal pole. I nicely explained that I have a weakened cervix and my doctor wanted to be 100% sure on dating for the cerclage surgery. I did not get into the fact that I don't plan to have it done now. She has no clue what IC is (and I don't expect her to) so she just sort of shrugged me off and started checking out baby.

Anywho, all went well, baby is measuring right at 7w as my charting has indicated and I saw a wee wee flicker of the heartbeat, beating at a lovely 131 bpm. Baby is about the size of a lentil right now, but it was neat to see more then just a dot on the screen like I did last time I was there 2w ago.
