Congratulations! Isn't it such a relief to say that baby on the screen!? Every time I go to the MD and hear the heartbeat or see the baby, I breathe a sigh of relief! I'm glad to hear everything is going great!

That's just wonderful. :) I'm not sure which made me smile bigger... the heartbeat or you telling your little girl. In my mind being able to tell the other children always made it seem that much more special and real somehow. Telling them and including them in the plans makes it feel like the whole family is finally together somehow, doesn't it? How old is your daughter?
Congratulations to you! Double the pleasure!! take care of yourself! Pam
Thanks for all the good wishes. And yes Tricia it was a relief to see the heartbeat, I could have stared at that screen all day if she let me. I was like you Amanda not "feeling" pregnant and taking yet again another pregnancy test, when it turned out positive AGAIN my husband would just roll his eyes at me. Amanda I think that I can relax a little bit now that I have seen the "proof" of life on that ultra sound screen. Once the tech said those words "everything looks good....." my whole body just seemed to release that tension that I hadn't even realized was there.
SuzM my daughter will be six in June and she has kissed my belly at least 50 times today and wants to go shopping for the baby already. She gets so excited and all giddy and she said to me today "Oh Mommy I love this baby already." I almost broke down in tears. I really feel that everything happens for a reason and NOW is the right time to be pregnant again, my daughter can now really participate in this birth. AND she doesn't want to know the sex of the baby she wants it to be a surprise and says she would be happy if it a girl OR a boy. That is huge for her as she won't even sit beside a boy right now :)
I'm shocked!! I thought for sure with hcg levels like you're it was a twin pregnancy!!!
Normally a good starting hcg level is about 100 at 14DPO!!! And your's was crazy high!! Literally my jaw dropped when you said one!!
Oh well.....one's probably easier on your body in the long run.
