YOLK SAC

I had a 6 weeks ultrasound yesterday, at which the technician informed me that, in fact, I was only 5 weeks pregnant. Sigh. At least there was something in there. At the ultrasound in the emergency room 10 days ago, there was nothing visible. Today, we saw...THE YOLK SAC! So I had no idea there even WAS a yolk sac. In fact, it was a little freaky, but pretty cool. I am scheduled to go in next week to see if the yolk sac is actually attached to a baby. We should then be able to see a heartbeat.

My husband was kind of disappointed that there was nothing more to see. At this point, my hormones raged out of control and I decided I was furious that he was so pessimistic. For crying out loud...he said "lots of pregnancies never see it through the first trimester." I am thinking to myself, "What the hell? Are we ever going to be happy about this? So many people have such a hard time concieving, we didn't even have to try!"

HRMPH. Boys. They need schooling in how NOT to upset the pregnant wife.
