12 weeks

Yesterday was my appointment to determine if everything is still okay before I can come off the progesterone. They didn't put me in the room that I normally go in to get ultrasounds. When the doctor came in he said that if they can hear the baby's heartbeat through the abdomen then our chance of miscarriage is 2%. Once we heard the heartbeat it was 5% but I have been in that 5% before. It's not very comforting for me.
I was very nervous but the doctor found the heartbeat within a few seconds. It seemed very long. Great news. We still have a baby. I wasn't that worried this time like I was at earlier appointments because I have been very sick. Throwing up and being very weak. This feels like a normal pregnancy for me. This is what I usually do. I got some Zofran because I would like to complete the basketball season and I don't want to barf on the court.
Good news for us. My daughter really wanted to announce my pregnancy so I posted it on facebook. I hope that I am not premature but you've got to live a little and I wanted to show her that I have hope.
