I've been having a nice time at work playing the pregnant girl. I haven't been lifting too much and so in turn I haven't been breaking my back! :-) although I come home from work and plop on the couch which doesn't help either. 

I have been trying to figure out information about the genetic testing I have scheduled at South Shore Hospital on 9/16. I have an ultrasound and blood test (Harmony test) scheduled. It doesn't appear the Harmony test will be covered without a purpose so I need to look into this. It's all very confusing! And the insurance company can't give me an answer of course. 

In other news, we've come to the realization that our house isn't big enough for a baby, nevermind two babies! Not many options for that one but we're working on it. 

So there's some other information other than cute ultrasound pictures! And I've finally come around to being excited rather than in disbelief!! Bring on the babies!

9 weeks - green olives

I had to go to the doctors this afternoon. I had some minor bleeding and called the  nurse at my doctors office freaking out. All I had been doing is washing my friends dog. She had me come in for an ultrasound just to check. Everything was normal and doing fine. The twins are still there. Part of me was really wondering were they both still there all this time? But they are doing well. I go back on 9/20. Until then I'm on "pelvic rest" and no lifting over 15lbs. The good part of all of this was that I was getting anxious having to wait over a month for my appointment and now I got to see the babies sooner. Not like I wanted it this way! Here's some new pictures!

My mother in law was thinking of me and bought me all these healthy goods! She wanted to make sure I was eating well. I will be now :-) 




By the way, I fixed the blog so that anyone can post a comment!

8

I'm 8 weeks pregnant today! 

According to my pregnancy phone app, the babies are the size of raspberries! 

I have an appointment today at my ob/gyn to register with a maternity specialist type person to discuss pregnancy, nutrition, etc. I tried to get out of it but its required. My next doctors appointment isn't until September 20. It seems so far away but she said they want to see me at 13 weeks. 

I feel ok but have waves of nausea and a lot of times while I'm eating something, I have to stop. Last night we had salad and soup and I could only eat half of each before I felt ill. 

I'm not "showing" yet but I feel like some of my clothes are tighter overall even though I haven't really gone up in weight on the scale.

Twins!


It's official. We are having TWINS!

 As we started the ultrasound, my doctor said with concern, "how many did we put IN?!?" And I said two.. She didn't respond for what seemed like hours, leaving me to see all sorts of black blogs on the screen. She finally said that there were two. I was so nervous there were three or more!! 

The babies are measuring on schedule, with heart rates on 140 and 133 in which 120-160 is normal and measuring at 7 weeks old, which I am technically 7 weeks and 1 day. My due date is March 26 but twins can come 3-4 weeks early. She believes they are not identical and they have their own amniotic sacs which is good. 

I have been officially released from the fertility office and have to find a ob/gyn. I have one but I don't know if I should get a different one or not. 



BABY A


BABY B
 
           
     
BOTH BABIES 

                                 


I have my first ultrasound today! I'm so excited and nervous at the same time. I hope we get to see what we've been waiting for so that it will all finally feel real. The only part that feels real right now is me being nauseous all day long. :-)
