To just find out you're pregnant, it's odd to say "I'm 4 weeks pregnant!" But such is the way the medical community needs to number pregnancy weeks. Did you know that numbering this way means there are actually 40 weeks of pregnancy? That's ten months instead of nine! Actually I've only technically been preganant for only 2 weeks, so it's really not ten months of pregnancy. It's just how "they" have to number it. They mark gestational age the same way, even though Special K is only 2 weeks old right now. If you really are interested to know the full explanation on this numbering scheme, let me know.
Whew.
On to the news. One can often see a heartbeat on an ultrasound at 6w 3d. Ours is scheduled for May 18. Oh God please let there be a strong heartbeat! (Our first baby died at 6 weeks and we never saw a heartbeat.) I'll have to remember, though, that it's possible we won't see a heartbeat and all might still be OK.
