TWINS!!!

Today we found out that we are expecting TWINS! I was extremely surprised and apparently Jason has been expecting it all along ;) At the ultrasound he could not stop laughing and I couldn't even think! The babies heartbeats probably started right on Thanksgiving... a bitter sweet day this year as my grandmother passed on thanksgiving, but I think she gave the twins the gift of life with her passing...She is going to shine on with these little munchkins ;)
Morning sickness hit me pretty bad yesterday.. nothing sounds appetizing except for fruit.  I want fruit and lots of it thank you! I think Im developing an aversion to dairy and chicken as well... this will certainly be an exciting ride!
Here is the ultrasound of the twinnies and a belly pic... I am certainly getting bigger. In full on maternity now as nothing wants to zip or snap up any more! But boy, maternity is COMFY!

my babies, 6 weeks 4 days old

6 weeks 4 days pregnant

5 Weeks!

Tomorrow is my first ultrasound and Im incredibly nervous! All we will be able to see at this point is the gestational sac really, so I'm not getting my hopes up for heartbeats or anything of that nature.  No real symptoms to speak of at this point except extra sensitive sense of smell, some food aversions (eggs and cottage cheese so far) and nausea when I eat pasta... I was super tired last weekend but I seem to have a bit more energy lately.. We will see how long that lasts :)
Below is my 5 week belly shot. Don't let that belly fool you, its ALL pasta from last night and lunch.. .the baby is only the size of a grain of rice.. lol.

FOUR WEEKS!

Four weeks today!

babies when they did transfer. 6 day old blastocysts. The one on the right is hatching!

Today I got the much anticipated call from my nurse... "GOOD NEWS" she said (I could hear another nurse in the background say "YEA! WOO HOO!"). My beta was 196 today which is an excellent and very promising level! I have an extremely good feeling about this pregnancy, unlike my last, short lived chemical pregnancy just a few months ago. Telling Jason was fun.. He kept giggling and saying "buggy!!" we are BEYOND ecstatic for this little one (or these little ones)

This baby is due July 19th, however, if there is more than one in there (a possibility since we transferred two beautiful blasts!) it could be earlier.. .secretly hoping for July 2nd since that is Pasha's birthday :)

Right now I can't think straight.. I'm so happy I think I might just die. I want to run around and scream from the rooftops!
