I went to the doctor today and got my ultrasound. I have good news and bad news, I'll start with the good... the baby is growing and has a heartbeat, it was 125 beats per minute. The baby is measuring just over 6 weeks, so June 2nd is still the due date. Now the bad news, there was blood around the baby. Because of that, its possible this pregnancy will end in a miscarriage. My doctor really could not tell me too much because most people do not have ultrasounds this early. The blood was there during my last ultrasound but I was never told anything. I go back next week for another ultrasound to see how much blood is there, if there is less thats a good thing, and if there is more... well then I'll probably miscarry. So right now we are just praying that everything goes ok and this baby is healthy. The fact that the baby has grown since last time, and the heart is now beating gives me hope that he or she will be ok.
Charlie Update: The roster for his school was put up today and he was not on it!! He went and talked to the people in charge and was told there was something wrong with his clearance. But, when he went and checked the lady said she was looking right at it and everything was ok. So he was told to show up at class on Tuesday. If he is in the class that starts Tuesday he will graduate on December 19th. But then he still has the second class, and for the job he wants, the training will be an extra 2 months. He has moved rooms, by choice, and is now next to someone he has recently met. He chose to be neighbors with him because he trusts him, and since they share a common area (bathroom and kitchen) its better to be sharing it with someone you like.

Our little baby
6 weeks & 2 days
Even though this looks similar to the one from last week,
the circle in this picture is the acutal baby... not the yolk sac.
