The first due date they gave you is only based on your lmp.... So pretty much an educated guess.
The second from the ultrasound is your due date based on fetal growth (babies all kinda grow the same at the beginning). So this is the more accurate due date :-)
Trust me you might go in at twenty weeks for an u/s and they could change it again! (happened my first pregnancy lol)
So right now go by the June 5th date :-)  (I'm june first btw :-) )
