Second question first - it's normal.
With respect to the sono, IF you had a 26 day cycle this time, it should
have been further than 4.5 weeks but prior to seeing the fetus, dating
the pregnancy is not very accurate so don't give up hope. The betas
look fine.
Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.
