Ultrasound #2
The ultrasound looked perfect this morning. A perfect yolk sac and bouncing baby bean with a heart rate of 153 bpm.
To say that we are thrilled is an understatement of gigantic proportions. Doc Wonder reports that the spotting is nothing and there was none visible today. I am officially being released to an OB this week. We also discussed my mounting levels of anxiety and my options at this point for handling it. I am going to try and call upon my skills of meditation and regular sleep and exercises and eating. I have been lacking in all three as of the last week and have been paying dearly with rolling anxiety/panic attacks. If I still don't have it under control at 13, 14 weeks we will talk about other options.
All in all I feel like a woman who has been pardoned. Today is a good day.
WOOHOO!

Oh happy day! I made it through my pregnancies with positive thought meditation.... daily or even hourly if I needed it. Think happy. Think happy. Think happy.

Woot! Very good news!
I just found out today by complete accident that listening to Mozart relieves anxiety. I was having an anxiety attack earlier because of my nausea being so out of control and I turn on my iPod and within 15 minutes of listening to it, I was calm. Bonus is that it's supposedly supposed to make the baby smart, too.

Man, I feel like there's something in the air this week. I, too, have been having the rolling panic/anxiety attack thing recently. Nothing saying other than I've been there, I *am* there, and I feel for you, and I'm sorry you have to deal with this.
But, otherwise, I'm thrilled for you and the tiny bean! I'm so happy that your ultrasound went well.

Wonderful news! I'm so glad that bit of worry is over for you.

No advice on the panic attacks/anxiety. We all know saying "just relax" doesn't do jack.
But that's great news about the heartbeat!
