5w 2d and doing just fine!

We had our first ultrasound today. There is a small black blob in the middle of my uterus representing the place where the next generation of our family is growing. <3 The gestational sac is 6mm across and while they did not see the yolk sac, that is A: normal and B: possibly the result of the doctor performing the world's fastest ultrasound on me without adjusting, zooming in or really moving the wand. Plus it was one of the older ultrasound machines; at the clinic I go to they just bought several new ones but it's the luck of the draw which ones you get.

My hCG level is still right on that average curve, right where it should be. Doubling time has dropped to about 41 hours, slightly faster than the standard 48. These are all good signs.

I am pretty pleased right now. Monday's level should be 5,580 or better, which is quite good enough to see a yolk sac and probably close to heartbeat time. :)
