Here's the boring stuff first. I'll keep it short. I had O/T this morning and it went well. Since I got sick last time (and remained composed this time), we went over my 'home program'. It's so frustrating when you can't do simple tasks (like flip coins) with one hand. Oh well, I guess that's the point of therapy. I hope it works.
And... let's skip ahead to the second boring thing... the Nissan died this afternoon. Jason just got back after buying a battery charger. We hope that's the problem. It's time to trade in the Nissan.
Now here's the fun stuff... I got my fist (6 week ) ultrasound today. We didn't see much. But, everything's where it should be. And... we have a heartbeat! I teared up when we saw it. It was so cool to see a little pulsating light on the screen and know that's a tiny heart beating inside me. It's kind of freaky, too and puts this all in reality.
They said the heart was going sort of slow, but, it's so early that they're surprised to see one at all. I'm supposed to go again in 2 weeks and that should be more telling. The heart should be beating faster next time. I think it was going around 106 bpm and next time it should be closer to 160 (I think).
Well, after two appointments and a dead car, I'm beat. I will try to post an ultrasound picture soon. My scanner is in the attic so it isn't easily accessable.
For now, I need dinner and it's 7:30. I'm hungry!

I am going to bypass all other news and get right to the heart beat....waa hoo!!! I teared up when I read that. I am so happy for you and Jason and cannot wait to see a pic!!!
As far as everything else, get a new car and glad the O/T went good and yes, it will work.
Great news on my arrival home from work. It did bring tears to my eyes. I am sorry you were so anxious about the sonogram. You should have said something at the pumpkin farm. The "adult" females may have been able to give calming stories. Tell my adorable son to call any time of day and night and we will run to the rescue. He can keep you calm and we can help keep him calm. Love to all three of you.
You guys are too sweet. I had tears in my eyes when I saw the heartbeat. It's so cool!
Love the line from candikap...."all three of you", yes indeed, love to all three of you!
I had to tell Erin today to remember she and I have a special bond which will never change, even if there are many more grandchildren. I canot figure out if she is serious about feeling left out when Baby Kaplan is born. Of course, each child has its own special bond with each grandparent. But I did not go there yet. Actually, your baby is bringing back those exciting "first grandchild" feelings. It's great! Now I have a more definite date of retirement.
All three of us. :)
As for Erin... she will always be the first and no one can take that from her. That will always be special. I don't want her to feel bad. She shouldn't.
She will be fine when she sees the baby and falls in love too. Girls love babies. First grandkids are special but they do not really outshine the others. Just like your children, they are all equal. Your baby is special to me because she/he is Jason's and yours. Kim's kids are special because they are Kim's or actually at this age they are themselves, their own personalities now. Wow! This is getting too deep. I am going to bed. Gotta go to work for several more months yet.
