Scare yesterday

And it had nothing to do with Halloween! At 9w0d I had some pink/light red spotting. It was just on the TP... and only the one bathroom trip. thankfully it was gone by the next trip (which probably 20 minutes later if that since I was freaking out so bad). I started crying... I couldn't help it. All of the bad memories came flooding back. David kept saying everything is ok, the babies are ok. I actually yelled at him cause how in the world would he know?!

Thankfully I started feeling better when it didn't happen again. I was all prepared to wait until my Tuesday ultrasound. I called the Dr office this morning to let them know about it and to ask them if I needed a rogham shot since it was light red. They told me to come in for my ultrasound today instead of tomorrow.

Babies are measuring 9w1d (both of them) which is exactly where I'm at today. Baby A HB was 183 I think.... I kind of forgot the number because Baby A was wiggling around!! First time I have seen a baby move on u/s since I was pregnant with Brianna 12 years ago!! Baby B HB was 174.

Dr says they both look great. She also says that Baby A's placenta is really close to my cervix so that is what she thinks is causing my spotting.

I go back next Monday for my 10wk ultrasound and then I have an OB appt scheduled the following monday.

Stick babies stick! Please be healthy and strong!

8w2d

8W2D went great. Babies looked beautiful. Baby A is measuring bigger than Baby B now. Here are their stats.
Baby A - 20.49mm - measuring 8w4d, HB 174bpm
Baby B - 19.08mm - measuirng 8w3d, HB 163 bpm

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!

Here is a picture of the babies. Baby A on the left and Baby B on the right :)

6W2D ultrasound

Thank goodness I had an ultrasound today too... I started spotting brown last night. I have been trying my best not to freak out.

Doctor says that is normal for.......


TWINS!!!

Yup we have 2 sacs and 2 heartbeats!! Both heartbeats were 119 bpm. I'll have pictures up as soon as I scan them!

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.
