Setbacks and Scares

So, today was our first visit with the Doctor. The first half of the visit was just what I would expect it to be.....us sitting in her office discussing the "do's and don'ts" on being pregnant. Very informative.

The second half of the visit was initially disappointing, but made sense the more I thought about it. Lea is happy with the news.

Apparently, she is barely 5 weeks pregnant and not the 7 like we thought! I did get to see the baby. It was a way to early to make anything out, but I did see a little black dot that will eventually be my child.

How is this good news? Well, it makes sense because last Sunday when we took the pregnancy test, it was negative and on Wednesday it was positive. If she 6 weeks pregnant at the time, it would have been a little strange for the test to be negative when the tests are supposed to detect pregnancies at 4 weeks.

So what does this mean? An April 15th baby.

Now, we did have a scare tonight. Lea called me around 9:30 saying that she was bleeding. For 10 minutes, I was in a panic while she waited for the Doctor to call her back. When the Doctor finally called, it turned out it was probably implantation bleeding or bleeding from the ultra-sound.

All is well for week 5.
