8 weeks

8 weeks 1 day ultrasound

I had my first official 8 week appointment this week! everything went really well! one baby is messuring at 8 weeks 3 days and one baby is messuring at 8 weeks 2 days. So both were ahead of schedule! I have felt a little sick at times, which is weird for me because with my last two preganancys I wasnt sick at all. Im hoping it doesnt get any worse! but maybe the old wives true that you get more sick with girls? two girls?.... one girl? whatever! we are excited no matter what! my next appt. is 4 weeks from now, so I just wait. easy.

6 weeks 4 days

TWO HEARTBEATS!!!

I cant even belive it! two babies! Baby A is messuring at 6 weeks 4 days and Baby B is just a little behind at 6 weeks 2 days! and we were able to see their perfect little fluttering hearts! AMAZING! more good to come!

5 weeks 4 days

Sooo..... I got really sick this week, like REALLY sick! I got the stomach flu, followed by a nasty sinus infection, and a bladder infection all within like 3 days! it has been a ruff week!

well..... my mom happens to work at my OB's office and thanks to my fabulous Dr. I was able to go in today and take a "peek" at what is going on in there....


and....









well....









TWO!

Now I know it is still really early and who knows what could happen from here? But for now we have TWO little growing babies! we are so excited and haven't even begun to think of all the work that comes along with this! But for now, we are happy.

(looks like you were right Stephanie!)

5 weeks 1 day

I feel like I am lying when I tell people that I am pregnant! it still is not real to me and it is driving Russ CRAZY that I cant just admit it and be happy. dont get me wrong, I am Happy! It just seems to good to be true! ya' know? well I went in this morning and had my second blood test to make sure my HCG levels were rising appropriately. the levels are suppose to double every 48 to 72 hours. So my first level of 271 should have been at LEAST 2100 right? well, I got the call from the nurse who told me that my levels were "ok" so automatically I got a little nervous. "ok" what does "ok" mean? so I asked what was the number and she said 6853..... um? I think that's a little more than "ok" that means that it is doubling every 30 hours! So to make a long story short... I'm pregnant. 5 weeks 1 day to be exact. now if I could only convince myself of that. I go in next Wednesday to get an ultrasound to see how many of these little guys stayed around!? maybe then it will feel more real?

total shock.
Beta 271





POSITIVE!





I cant even believe it! I had absolutely no symptoms or indications that i could even be pregnant! I was SURE that this was a bust! I was calculating how many more semesters of student loans I would have to get before I could try next time! I had researched all over the Internet to try and find someone who had no symptoms and still came out with a positive beta... let me tell ya, there were slim pickins' so this post will be for those who googled "no symptoms BFP" or "no symptoms positive beta" because that's me! OK. now I'm just rambling, I am so excited and shocked! really.

Beta Eve

twas the night before beta

and all through my body,

not a creature was stirring,

not even the three potential babies in my belly.

OK, you get where I'm going with this....

Tomorrow is the big day! I have not taken a home test yet, out of pure fear that once I see a negative it is over! so I am going to leave my fate to the nurse who dares call me tomorrow to give me my results. I really don't "feel" anything! i have a backache, but I am sure that is due to all the packing I have been doing for our move this Saturday. so now I will just try to be calm, think positive thoughts, remain hopeful and try not to freak out too much!

here we go!

if you pray... now is the time to do it!

So I'm a little down today, in more ways than one. I have been felling pretty large in the belly with hyperstimulation which on one hand was a bummer because it was very uncomfortable but I was told by the nurses, that that could be a good sign because hyperstimulation symptoms worsen with pregnancy, and my last successful in-vitro I had it and, well, it worked! so although the hyperstimulaton wasn't something I would wish on anyone, it gave me a little hope that this was going to work this time. Well, ANYWAY, I woke up this morning and my stomach size and dramatically decreased!? like really! by like 4 inches! so now although I am not one to complain about a shrinking waistline... I am complaining!!! I feel like all hope is lost right now because wouldn't it get worse if my body was putting out pregnancy hormones right now? maybe I am just over analyzing the whole thing. Russ told me today as I was venting to him about this "it's ok. you still look pregnant to me." thanks?
