Update

I went to the doctor. It was the first time Mike has been in the room while I have my feet in the stirrups. I was so nervous but my midwife made me feel so relaxed. She asked me lots of questions and told me I could be cramping because I'm not getting enough water. I'm supposed to be drinking 2 liters of water a day now. That's a lot!

And then she got the vagisound. Awesome. She said that I may be able to hear a heart beat, but not to be worried if it is too early for that. She got busy looking around in there for a long time and was very quiet. She just kept looking at the screen and moving it around. I started to wonder why it was taking so long to find the baby. After what seemed like forever she said that she wasn't seeing anything so she wanted to get another doctor to take a look. I waited for another eternity until a male doctor came in and probed me. He found a tiny little blob on the screen. It was so small that they couldn't even tell where it was or what it was. They are assuming that the blob was the baby and that I'm just not as far along as they originally thought so there isn't much to see yet. They are also hoping that it is not ectopic. They took my blood and they are going to check my HCG levels and call me back tonight. I am scheduled to have it tested again on Thursday to make sure the levels are going up like they are supposed to, and then I should have another ultrasound in a week. For now it's just a waiting game.

I'm still feeling really nervous. I feel like everything is up in the air now. Please keep praying that my body takes care of that tiny little blob.
