I got to hear the heartbeat :)

I am so thrilled,

I not only saw the heartbeat, but I actually heard it as well....the nurse gave me a DVD of it and everything, and now I can listen to the heartbeat 24/7 (I know, I sound a bit like a maniac). The heartrate appears to be strong...158 beats per minute. Everything appears to be normal so far (well, for a moment the nurse thought that I was measuring 2 days smaller, and of course I freaked out, but then she said that she just measured it wrong and after measuring it again, she said that it was right on target.....7 weeks and 5 days), and I have one more appointment left at the fertility clinic and then I will transfer over to my new OBGYN....I wonder how that will be like? I feel spoiled at this clinic, but you know in a way I am kind of glad that I won't be getting so many ultrasounds....that way I could just relax and enjoy the pregnancy. It will still take me awhile to think about getting the baby things, I'm still superstitious and worry about jinxing it. But here is a picture of the little bean as well as the heartrate graph. And thank you girls for understanding all about my anxiety levels!!!
