8 Weeks pregnant and feeling it...

I am 8 weeks pregnant. Phew!!
(Im making it sound like Im 38 weeks pregnant..lol..)

The past week has been just insanely crazy and busy.
A reCap:

Monday night I went to bed and got up an hour later to go pee and discovered that I was bleeding. Not just spotting...but bleeding. I though to myself ... "Hmm..was I just imagining I was pregnant??"

It continued on until about 4:00am when it seemed to stop.
I didn't sleep a wink all night.
I got up early and called my mom and she took us down to the clinic where I waited what seemed like hours to see my Doc.
He pushed around on my tummy and said, "Emergency ultrasound" and a bunch of other stuff that didn't register at the time.

Launi came home from work and took me to the hospital for the ultrasound!! (After I drank about 800 gallons of water and my bladder was near exploding.)

The lady doing the ultrasound was all business, got me up on the table, squished some warm goo on my tummy..and away we went.

She took about 15 minutes and didn't say a word the entire time.
She got up to leave and said she was going to go and find a doctor to confirm her findings. And she left.
I was pretty sure we were going to recieve bad news because she didn't show me a heartbeat or anything. And from what Ive always heard from other friends and relatives...they almost always show you SOMETHING.

She came back about 20 minutes later and said
"Okay so, the pregnancy is viable. We seen a heartbeat."

Relief.
I got dressed, finally, blessedly got to pee, and went to find Launi who had been waiting patiently for over an hour. I was remembering the last time we were at the hospital, and I had to tell him that I had had a miscarriage. This time, I was going to be able to tell him good news. I found him, told him, we hugged...all was well.

I was sent back to my Dr's office and waited there for 2 hours.
When I got to talk to him, he said that the ultrasound looked good, and that I was to do nothing but rest for 10 days.

Which brings us to Friday.
I would not have been able to get through any of this without my family. They have been just great!!! Moms been taking care of Lijie, taking him to school , picking him up, keeping him busy doing things and keeping him at her house so I can rest. She's cooked us a weeks worth of meals so that I don't have to cook. Dennise and her kids have come over to do laundry and clean for me!! I haven't had to do much at all and its just been an amazing blessing to have my family help me like this. Im in awe of everyone and Im so proud to be apart of a family that is so giving.
Thank you everyone!!!

There is a beating heart inside of me! :)
What a comforting thought.......
