So today after spending 5 hours in the ER room, I was able to find out I have a healthy baby that is one day short of 8 weeks (I seriously was hoping to find out I was further along) with a strong heart beat of 162. This brings the due date to September 5 even though the doctor told me that the ultra sound isn't always correct. I was having some issues last night so after calling the RN, I decided to go in the morning to see the doctor just in case, although I knew I was going to be ok since Hannah was fine and the same thing happened when I was pregnant with her. But like Dan says, it's my job to worry. We went to Lakenheath, the other military hospital, and waited FOREVER and then when I got in to see the doctor I found out it was going to be my first experience with a British doctor. He was super nice, cracked some jokes I was like thinking, oh man, this guy is nuts! The exam is so different from an American doctor exam. They don't use stirrups, you lay down on your side and curl up like a ball, that's all I'm going to say. The nurse who was American was funny and asked me how it was since she never had experienced that. I said it was defiantly different. Then I went to the stirrups and he did an ultra sound and I was in a panic because he couldn't find the baby. He had already told me he wasn't an ultra sound machine expert so I was calmed just a little and he said he would call in an OB. So after waiting a few more minutes a very pregnant OB came in and found the peanut right away (I could breathe again.) I got to take home some snazzy pictures and when I went out to show the girls, they were super excited first off that the baby was still there (they were very worried it had died since they know those things can happen) and then to see the baby's picture. As Hannah was looking at and it her words were pretty much, "I see a sea-horse in a hole. Is that the baby? It looks more like a sea-horse then a baby mom."
Now that I know there is only one baby (I knew there was only one but it's nice to know for sure), the baby is healthy, and roughly when it's coming out, I feel so relieved.

Scary! Your body obviously can't do pregnancy the "normal" way. But it is exciting to know your due date. That seems so far away. But maybe you can have him (I will refer tithe baby as a him unless you find out otherwise) on shannons birthday LOL. Glad everythings ok.
