1st ultrasound

Tomorrow at 8:40 I have my first ultrasound. I'm nervous about it, but keep trying to tell myself that worrying won't change whatever is going on in my body. If there's a healthy little heartbeat, it will be there tomorrow. If there's an empty sac, it will be there tomorrow. I hope everything is just as it should be, but I know people who have gotten terrible news at ultrasounds. It's hard to be too optimistic when you know something could easily go wrong, especially this early on. I am so impatient to be out of the first trimester, when the chance of miscarriage goes down quite a bit. I want to feel it kick, and buy maternity clothes, know if it's a boy or a girl, and knit cute things for him or her. But before any of that can happen, we have to get through tomorrow and many other tomorrows after that.
