1st Ultrasound Pics








Here are their 1st pictures @ 6 weeks. Sorry it has been awhile since posting them. Big difference from these to the 8 weeks. These ones are a bit clearer though. You get the idea.

2nd ultrasound




The scanning of these pics are a little wacky, so I apologize for that! I still need to get their 6 week ultrasound pics on here too. Anyways, I was originally scheduled to go in this Wednesday for an ultrasound, but I had this smidge of spotting this morning, so naturally I freaked, called the Dr's. & went in. She checked me all out, everything was good. Then, it was the ultrasound to check on the babies. They've grown so big in 2 weeks! Once I get their 6 week pics posted you will see for yourself! Both heartbeats are really good. Baby A's (really is Baby B) was 150 & Baby B's ( really baby A) was 161. Right within the normal range. On these new pics of the babies they are reversed. On our previous ultrasound, Baby B is on the left, Baby A is on the right. So, just switch the letters on these new ones & it will be straight. :) I feel relieved that they are still doing great. But I have some sadness since this was our last visit to the fertility clinic. Now I am off to my own obgyn. That is exciting, but the fertility clinic has been a huge part of my life for so long, that I think I am suffering a bit from separation anxiety!! But it is a good thing, right? I am happy, don't get me wrong, but I will miss them. They've been wonderful to Jason & I & they were the ones that got us pregnant after 4 years of trying. I am sure they are a bit relieved that I won't be around to call & pester them with every twinge I have! Now my Dr. gets to deal with that. I am paranoid, what can I do? I need to relax, that much I know. So just wanted to update. I will post their 6 week pics too. Again, sorry for the crooked pics. Oh. And the one pic that is labeled "Baby A" looks like 2 heads, but that is their yolk sac. I asked, cause I thought it had 2 heads too cause I am sorry, that is what it looks like!!

1st Ultrasound

Today was our first ultrasound at 6 weeks 1 day. I've been down in the dumps these last few days. Even though I've felt sick & not that great, I started spotting a bit. I was completely convinced that it didn't work or maybe I was loosing it. I had no cramping at all, so I didn't think that, but the spotting just got to me. Well, we go in, she checks my ovaries (they were fine), my cervix (fine), seemed like she kept stalling, so I started to get upset..... then she says, "You guys are having Twins!!" I couldn't believe what I just heard. I looked over at Jason & his eyes were watery then got VERY LARGE. He looked like a deer in headlights!! :) Poor thing. They measured right where they should. Baby A's heartbeat was 110 & Baby B's was 111. They said that was right where it should be. They each are in their own little sack or "home" And like I said before, are developing right where they should be. I go in 2 weeks for my 8 week ultrasound to make sure they keep growing & then I can start seeing my own dr. after that. I will be sad to leave that place. Our actual dr. came in to tell us congrats.... I was still in such shock still, that I know I kept saying "thank you, thank you, thank you". After years of trying & tests & poking& disappointments, it was all worth it to have this moment right now. We even saw their little hearts beating. Was amazing. I still can't believe this, but so thankful to everyone for their support & their prayers. I will keep you posted.
