first ultrasound today...bag of nerves

Well, I didn't want to do it, but the nurse just about twisted my arm until I made the appointment. I agreed to take the appointment, then I was just going to cancel it. But, seeing as that I'm not having as many symptoms as I have had in previous pregnancies, I decided to keep it. It's called a 'viability ultrasound'. Grief, doesn't get more bleak than that. I'm a total nervous wreck today and slept very little last night. Not to mention that Friday would have been the EDD for the pregnancy that I lost in January. Pray for me that everything goes okay today. I have faith that no matter what happens, it's going to be okay. I'm nervous to get excited about this as I saw the heartbeat in the last pregnancy at 9 weeks, then lost the baby 2 weeks later. Such a mixed bag, isn't it?!

I love the saying that folks use on this board, 'faith over fear'. It really rings true, doesn't it.

Thanks,
Karen
