Just one ultrasound picture to post from yesterday, the rest aren't the greatest views! 

Enjoy!

We had the NT scan this morning. We opted for just the ultrasound at this time as we need preapproval for the Harmony test, it is tentatively scheduled on next Monday. All the measurements were great. The  babies are measuring at 13 weeks and 5 days and 13 weeks and 1 day. Today I'm 12 weeks and 5 days. The heart rates were 161 and 153. The nuchal fold thickness was normal. All is well and I was happy to see them jiggling around inside. I have an anatomy scan scheduled on 10/28 at the hospital as well. They were super friendly today. My next appointment is on Friday with my OB. 

I guess this is REAL. 

We were able to have fun with my Doppler yesterday and Bill was able to add it to YouTube. I'm not 100% sure if the heartbeats are the two babies or the same baby and they're definitely NOT named Jethro and Tull.

12 weeks!

Today marks the beginning of the 12th week! Wow. I'm still counting down the days until my appointments!! I'm trying to decide on what we will do for the gender reveal. Ooh lala. I can't wait to find out! :-)

In good news, I'm a lot less nauseous these days and less tired which is awesome! I still have waves of both but overall, I feel much better! 

By the way, the babies are the size of plums. :-)

I bought a fetal doppler online, the Sonoline B. I was warned its not easy to use before 12 weeks and sometimes overweight women  have issues with it. For the first few days, I couldn't get it to work, I was so frustrated! Then yesterday morning, I looked up some tips on YouTube and was able to find it within 5 minutes. Amazing! Someone described it as sounding like a dog panting and about 140-160 beats per minute. It definitely sounds like a dog panting! I was able to do it again and show Bill. Very cool to be able to use in between appointments! 

My fans have been awaiting an update! Sorry! Last week, the little babies were the size or prunes and today mark the eleventh week which means they are the size of limes!! 

Things have been going pretty well. I'm getting anxious awaiting my appointment which isn't for another 12 days for the genetic testing but 16 days until my first ob appointment. It seems so far away. 

I'm starting to feel less tired and less nauseous which is nice. I'm still having a hard time eating healthier foods, especially salad. 

That's about it! No news is good news, I suppose!
