Scary Morning, Turned Happy

So today I had my first appointment!  This morning while getting up and getting ready to go to my appointment (prepared to beg for ultrasound) I went to the bathroom and had pink blood when I wiped, so of course I started to freak out!!  I went to the appointment and told them right away while I was checking in, and the nurse practioner that saw me was awsome.  She begged for me and got me an ultrasound right then and there, and you know what everything is okay.  I got to see the baby moving and the got to watch it's heartbeat!  It was the best feeling in the world!  The baby has a heart rate of 174, even the ultrasound tech said that was a very strong heartbeat!  The baby measures at 8 weeks and 5 days, so I was correct and actually the baby is one day ahead of my own calculations!  What a great feeling today.  I did go to work, but started having a small amount of the same kind of spotting as I did this morning, but I'm guessing it's because I was messed with down there all morning and because this is when I would be due for AF to come again.  I'm not freaking out because it's gone again and I am resting today, don't care about work being short, that is too bad!  So I couldn't be happier!  I'm sure everything is fine and just so happy to see the heartbeat!!!!!!

Just wanted to share with everyone!  I do have pics, but I don't have a way yet to scan them on the computer!  I'm gonna work on that though maybe on Friday so I can get them posted, but I got some great looking pics!!
