Heartbeats and throwing up

That's right I said HEARTBEATS! Plural. As in two, dos.

Craziness! We are floored! Thrilled and terrified at the same time.

The ultra sound went great. As soon as she got in there I could see the 2 sac's. Both had yolks, fetal poles, and heartbeats. Baby A's heartbeat was 112 and Baby B's heartbeat was 109.

This picture shows both sac's. You can see Baby A in the right sac, Baby B is hiding in the second.


We are a bit stressed about the whole idea, but thrilled.

I have been feeling very tired and having waves of sickness. Its nothing to terrible and actually makes me feel better about the babies. I am praying for a healthy pregnancy and life for both of them.

Waiting

Well all of the hype is basically over regarding the positive test. Not that we aren't still excited, we are, its just that we are really in another wait. A wait for our 1st Ultra Sound which is scheduled for Monday the 21st. Basically this is another 2 week wait filled with second guesses, long days, and super sleepy nights.

Our families were shocked, excited, thrilled. We had SO much fun telling them. I wish we could do it all over again!

I have been tired, very tired, which I was last time as well. I could seriously take a nap each day and could go to bed each day at 8:00 if I were able. Which I am not able to do either. Yesterday I had my first bout with morning sickness, in the afternoon. I have always been told that morning sickness proves a healthy baby so I was happy.

We are looking forward to the 21st. I am looking forward to the reassurance it will provide me with. I am continually feeling like this is to good to be true. That there is no way this could have worked the 1st time. I feel like the Ultra Sound on Monday will help me stop checking for my period each time I go to the bathroom (although honestly, I doubt it will, I will be nervous about the pregnancy for some time).

Not only will the Ultra Sound offer some reassurance as to what is going on inside me, it will also let us know if we have 1 or 2 babies in there. Our 1st time around I really wanted twins, this time it terrifies me, but the idea is growing on me all the time. It would be a lot, but it would be fun. I guess we shall see what Monday brings.

BFP BFP BFP!

The 2 week wait is over! Whew, and ended in good news!

My first beta was Saturday and resulted in a positive with a 156. That is a great number and Suzie (my doctor's nurse) said that it is borderline multiples (oh my word!). We were thrilled. Of course I knew it would be a positive because I had been taking home pregnancy tests since Wednesday, well Monday, if you count the one I took at my husband's insistence and told me that the Trigger shot of the HCG hormone were out of me. I got a very (when I say very I mean barely there) light positive on Wednesday morning. Thursday it was darker and Friday even darker. It was fun watching the lines change each day.

My second beta was today. The number jumped to 514. I feel good about this. I looked back and Doodle's first number was an 85. I don't remember the second, but not 514 (I will have to look again). My 1st Ultra Sound is on the 21st. We cant wait!

As for telling our family, we are going to do so tonight. We had all these great plans of telling them via t-shirt, ect. but honestly we are entirely to excited and don't want to wait the 2 or 3 weeks it will take to get to everyone in person. Maybe I will just send them here. All the information has been right here under their noses the whole time.
