Yes, I was in and out of the OB visit today in 10 minutes. Fetal heartbeat strong at 156 bpm.
This pregnancy is different this time around. Well, I'm different, I guess. Hearing the heartbeat was a relief instead of an expectation. I know now I was very lucky to have had a pregnancy in the past where I did not worry about miscarriage or other problems. When we saw the two pink lines for the first time, we called all our family and let them know. This time? We planned on telling friends/ family via birth announcement in the fall;-)
I hope that as the pregnancy progresses, I can get genuinely excited about it and that the fears will eventually subside. I am beginning to learn that no matter the outcome of an infertile woman's journey, infertility will always be a part of her story.

Oh so glad to hear about a boring OB visit. That's excellent news. Hey 14 weeks! It's time to start thinking about maternity clothes fairly soon, eh? Maybe treat yourself to a cute new top! After all this struggle, you deserve a little retail therapy!
I agree. Naivety was bliss. So glad that the baby's heart beat is strong.
I agree with your friend........it's time to go shopping!! :) I'm so happy that the heartbeat is strong. Hmmmm.....156 bpm.......maybe a girl? :)
I totally can relate. No real worries with my first. Even with all the difficulties.
After two m/c I am afraid to hope. We talked about keeping the pregnancy to ourselves and I even tried. But I have to tell people. make it more real. If I say it out loud, then it has to be real and nothing bad can happen...
Right.
I hope we can get excited together.
