It went great! I am so happy!!!
I am measuring 6 weeks 1 day so I am further behind than I thought I was. My due date is pretty much pushed back to Sept 29th instead of the 24th.
The very first thing I was able to see was the heartbeat!!! Jeremy saw it right off too. The doctor said it was about 160 bpm (I thought that was pretty high for 6 weeks? not complaining though!).
She is also re-checking my progesterone, another quantitive hcg, and also checking thyroid levels. The only bad news is, because my weight has gone up since I had Ethan...I am going to have to do the diabetes test 3 times. Once the weather gets warmer I HAVE TO start walking. I have already cut my soda down to 1 a day and trying to eat more fruit.
Anyway, here is the photo we got (there's more on my FB):
I love how the baby looks like he/she is on a bouncy ball hahaha! <3

Awh Melissa, that pic is adorable. S/he does look like s/he's bouncing on a big ball  I'm excited you got to hear the heartbeat, I didn't realize that happened so early! We didn't have our early ultrasound until a couple days after our first appointment, which was 9 weeks. I'm really, really thrilled this went so well for you

YAY for heartbeat....
My DR would not do the thing that counts the beats 
I am about 15 pounds heavier starting with this one than I did m daughter. I think after the 1srt trimester I am going to do Zumba for Wii.
