The Beast is cooking away...using his/her hands to wipe his/her face...or maybe trying to suck his/her thumb. Heartbeat somewhere around 140. I gained ZERO POUNDS! Woohoo!
The Doppler didn't work (thanks for the warning, Kathi), so he told me not to despair, he would get the ultrasound machine and we'd take a quick peek. I did not throw up...nor did I freak out completely. I just stared at the mobile of blue and purple fish hanging from the ceiling (Steve...now I know why that's there).
I cried when I saw the Beast appear on the screen. No longer a blob, the Beast now has arms and legs and fingers and toes. The stakes seem so much higher now.

I think this is going to be one in a long line of hard days for your mom. I rejoice you are okay. Your mom
Yay beast!
Arms and legs, fingers and toes -- all great things! So happy the Beast is thriving so far. And you're going to have to give up on the dream of a zero weight gain pregnancy, I fear, but it's impressive that you've held your ground until now. Now treat yourself to some Hagen-Daaz, or something, lol!
I'm happy and scared for you, and really excited too. Hang in there Beast and parents!
Oh, I'm so glad for you. Hooray! Keep cooking, Beast!
