we had another u/s today -- was supposed to be last thursday at exactly 8 weeks, but had to move it due to a conflict with a dr. appt for my husband. anyway, we went back in today at 8w5d and got to see the bean again. growing well. measured at 8w2d just under where we should be, but dr wasn't worried -- one reason is that i have a couple of large fibroids which cast some big shadows, so the measurements aren't easy to do. heartbeat is at 176. on thursday i start with only one progesterone suppository per day (instad of two) yay! then at 10 weeks, i stop completely. everything seems to be progressing nicely!

and with that i'm released to my OB!!
