Trying to remain positive :/

So, I saw Renee today. She did an abdominal u/s in which she couldn't find the heartbeat. Luckily, the high risk OB was there and she called him in. He found the heartbeat rather quickly but was still concerned because it's what they consider to be low. It seems that there is a rather wide range span for early heartbeat from the quick research I did. The American Pregnancy Association says that 90-110 is normal for the 7 week mark. My OB wanted it to measure 120 or above. So, basically I'm in limbo until next Thursday when we try again. I'm trying to remain positive and optimistic, but it's so difficult. It's a lot easier said than done. Renee said that right now there are no special restrictions for me to follow. Basically, whatever will be, will be and there's nothing I can do either way....nothing to help, nothing to hurt. So, luckily I have plans or something to do everyday up until my next appt. My mom is going to come with me to the appt since Vince can't really take too many days off work and one or another, he's going to need them. I'm going to need support, or someone to celebrate with, and my mom is perfect either way if Vince can't be there. Renee isn't in the office next week so I'll be seeing the high risk doc, which is fine with me. So, please send any positive thoughts my way that you can and please say prayers. My symptoms are still kicking my butt, so hopefully that's a good sign!

  5. I have all the confidence in the world that your little one is just chillin' in there. He's going to be quite the laid back little guy and that's why his h/r isn't racing just yet! I know this is going to be a tough week. Let me know if i can do ANYTHING at all to help you get through it.
