March 27th we went to Omaha to see Dr. Maud for another ultrasound and labs. Thankfully the bleeding stopped after only 10 hours. On ultrasound we saw the most amazing sight, not only our little baby (fetal pole CRL: 0.20cm at 5 weeks 5 days), but we saw the first flickers of the heart beat. What a sight...
Hcg was at 8,900, Progesterone 39, Estrogen 439, life was good. The were able to see the bleed on the ultrasound and confirmed that it had clotted off and would absorb into my body. Thankfully that scary part was over, so I prayed.

Two weeks later we went back to Dr. Maud in Omaha for another growth ultrasound and labwork. Baby had grown right on track with CRL at 1.40cm and Hcg 73,474. We were able to hear baby's heart beat for the first time and fell even more in love with the baby. Gosh was this baby really going to stick and stay. The thoughts of our last miscarriage still too fresh, I tried to keep myself from that dark hole of what-if's but sometimes it got the best of me.

Our final ultrasound in Omaha occurred two weeks later on April 24th, praise the Lord the baby looked great again. Baby's length was 3.06cm CRL baby's heart rate was beating nice and strong at 171. My labs still looked great so they took us off the progesterone shots and released us to Dr. Friesen in Lincoln. We now wait for our next appointment with Friesen on May 22nd. It will seem like forever away.
