Oh yeah, on December 7th

Oh yeah, on December 7th we went to have our first ultrasound, the dr was concerned that all of my cramps and loss of weight meant miscarriage. So, we went expecting bad news but really got no news, it was too soon to tell if the baby was okay or not. But all of the blood tests they were doing kept reporting that my hcg level was rising consistently so the need to worry just diminished. The cramps came and went with little to no relief when I had them, but there was relief that I never had any bleeding. So apparently the baby was just growing fast.
