We went for our first ultrasound yesterday, and I had forgotten how awful it is to have to fill your bladder for it. I actually drank *too* much water, and even after I let a bit out, I still had the fullest bladder they had seen all day. Fortunately my tech had mercy on me and sent me to pee pretty much immediately, opting to do an endovaginal instead. That was new (and weird) but soooooooo much better than having my painfully full bladder pushed on. So as I suspected, Godzilla is NOT 8 weeks. The tech said it's measuring closer to 6w3d. So even earlier than *I* calculated. Which is fine, because who knows when I even ovulated. 6ish weeks along puts my new due date in mid-July, around the 15th. Leif accompanied me and was very kind and supportive (he helped me onto and off of the table when I feared I was going to pee myself). We didn't get to hear a heartbeat but we have to go back in 2 weeks anyway for the actual "8 week scan" so we should be able to hear it then. I have an appointment with my doctor on Thursday so it will be good to find out how my hCG levels are looking and see if she has any concerns. Last night when Leif's mom got back to her house, she face-timed us and then gave Leif's dad the egg I made for him. Being a man of little emotions, we weren't expecting much. It was also very late there and he looked quite tired. Regardless he seemed genuinely pleased and congratulated us a number of times. We swore them both to secrecy because we aren't telling anyone else until Christmas (except maybe my parents, but we will see when that happens). I know they will keep it quiet for us :) Now the house feels empty. Leif asked me what I am up to today and I actually don't really know, LOL. I spent 2 weeks preparing for mom to visit and now that she's gone I don't have anything else immediate to focus on. Probably I will putter around the house, maybe do some businessing, probably get groceries too. I suppose it's time to look toward Christmas and continue buying gifts for that. I get tired just thinking about it, LOL.
