Both Twins
Baby A - baby is standing on head!
Baby B - the black spot on the right side of baby is where the brain is forming... if you look closely you can see the armbuds forming too.

7w4d

Still really tired. I don't remember being this tired with the other pregnancies. I took a long nap yesterday (hour - hour 1/2) and I'm thinking of doing the same today. Course I make sure they wake me up by 6pm so I can still go to sleep at night. I'm getting up at least twice a night to use the restroom. Last night it was more than that. For some reason my alarms didn't go off on my phone this morning... luckily I woke up at 6am anyways and was able to get David off to work.

I felt quite quesy for a bit today. That doesn't happen every day. I guess I should count myself lucky. I've also been fighting a slight headache (mostly just pressure). It's definitely not as bad as I had the other day.

For the most part I feel better during the day than I do at night. In the evenings i don't even feel like eating... makes it so hard to cook dinner. It's not that I'm nauseous, it's just that nothing sounds good to me.

Oh.. I'm also still spotting off and on but that's to be expected with the SCH.

I guess that's it for now. Just passing the time and making sure I stay positive. :)

So in love already

Ok I've jumped in with both feet. I'm so in love with these babies already! I pray they are healthy and I don't lose them.
I had my 7w2d ultrasound today. They look beautiful. They are so much bigger than last week already! Baby A measures 12.28mm with a HB of 141 bpm and Baby B measures 12.46mm with a HB of 151 bpm.

There is a small SCH (Subchorionic Hematoma - blood clot) that is likely what is causing all my spotting. The Dr says its small enough that she isn't worried about it right now. I am continuing all my meds as usual. I go back in a week for another ultrasound!

Beta #3 19dpo

Beta number 3 is 2544!! Doubling time is 38.86 hours. Woohoo!!!! I also got to schedule my 6w2d ultrasound! It will be in the afternoon of October 12th. I wanted to schedule it in the morning but I think I will have a work meeting that morning.

I am done with the beta's now! I'm very happy about that. I've been ok until several hours after the beta. At that point I start getting nervous as to what the number is going to be. I feel good about this pregnancy right now. But I think about what happened previously and I get a little scared. I don't want to go through that again. I want this to work this time.

As for symptoms, I've had one day of nausea. Other than that I'm still tired! I'm fighting a cold right now (the nurse said to make sure not to run a fever!) I still have some cramping off and on. My bbs have felt kind of sore today. I feel like I'm hungry and thirsty all the time!

TGIF - hopefully I can sleep in this weekend.
