Question about my 8wk ultrasound

[Ashelen]

So I had my 8wk ultrasound...baby has a nice healthy heartbeat, measuring 8wks, looks great.

BUT...the ultrasound tech said there was a shadow she couldn't get a good zoom on, and she couldn't guarantee that there was only one. I don't want to bias anyone by saying where she thought she saw another baby, so I want to just put the pic up and see if any of you ladies see it or not. honestly I don't care either way.

Sorry about the quality of the pic...my scanner is MIA since we moved and my camera is being wonky.

Obviously the thing circled in bright yellow and labeled "baby' is the one that we saw clearly and got a good heartbeat measurement on....but do YOU see another baby, and where?

thanks ladies :-D

I agree with the first poster. As soon as I clicked on the pic to enlarge it, I saw that shadow above the yellow circle. I'm not an U/S tech either but that is def there....Ooooh how exciting if it is another bundle of joy!!! Can't wait until your next update:)

LOL Sabrina I'm excited for you....I hope it all goes smoothly, and quickly for you!

Nicole - this is pretty much it. we aren't doing anything permanent, because we don't know what the future will hold, but we always wanted 3 to begin with...so for at least the next 5-10 years, we're done. Probably DONE done....but never say never, right? But I am considering this my "last one" since we have no immediate plans for more.

It does seem to be that everyone who plans on "just one more" ends up with 2 though....LOL, like Terri!

And I can totally understand..before we bought this house we could NOT have had another baby in the house we were renting....just no way. But we bought a foreclosed house for super cheap and now we pay less on mortgage than we did on rent ANYWHERE. So we got really lucky...and that's what gave us the opportunity for baby #3, or we would've been stalled at 2.

If I had twins, I would be excited, but nervoud as all get out. Lexi has recently started screaming for no reason after a few hours I get frustrated. She has an ear infection right now, so that could be the reason behind her screaming, but this Mommy can only take so many hours of it before her loony button gets activated. lol. I can't imagine two at once!

I would love to ttc again when Lexi is one, but we just can't. We need to either get a bigger apartment or find a house that we can afford on a single income. We already have a car payment and all of that, but we'd rather put money into a house instead of renting. DH says he doesn't want anymore, but....he promised me when we got married we could have two. Lol, Maybe he'll change his mind.

Is this your last time with pregnancy, or are you going to try for another?

Of course you're allowed!!! I would be too, and I'm not planning on baby #3 arriving until after Aubryana's 18 months...I'm not even trying again until she's at least a year old...HOPEFULLY soon after *fingers crossed*...just got my financial aid approved today, and I'll be starting classes about mid-Sept for Med transcriptionist...six month course, so I'm hoping and praying I get hired on fast after I'm done, and from there all I have to wait on is JOSH *imagines kicking him* decides he's ready...otherwise I'd just wait til she's weaned, lol.

Yeah I'm getting another ultrasound next wednesday....

and I am trying so hard not to think about it. Twins would be wonderful and all, but seriously...after today the thought terrifies me, lol. I thought she was just SAYING it until I took a good long look at the ultrasound and I was like "oh....uh-oh..."

Guess I'll be able to update next week....O.O! lol..seriously, I'll take whatever blessing comes my way..but I'm allowed to be afraid, right?

[smjmekg]

LOL. I hear ya there. To me it looks, and not to scare you, almost like you took a pic of the baby only, flipped it upside down, and lightened it and stuck it right above him/her...so are you getting another U/S next week? OMG how scary that would be to wait and find out that there's twins, and be wondering all that time...lol sorry, not sure if you were thinking that but I probably just put it in your head...
