7 week ultrasound of the Twins

Well today I had a bit of anxiety about going in for ultrasound. All kinds of thoughts were running through my head such as Do we still have two babies in there?, Are we going to recieve bad news today? and ect.
Low and behold everything went great and they are both measuring right on target. By measurements Baby A is 7w4d old with a heartbeat of 145, and Baby B is 6w6d old with a 125 heartbeat. I am so happy that the lil guys/girls are doing well! I LOVE to see the heartbeats and thats always my favorite part of the u/s. My official due date is Feb 8 and the 12th but she thinks I more than likely will have them towards the end of January. That's all of the news that I recieved today besides that I already gained 2 pounds in 1 week. Wow i'm gonna be the size of a whale but I know it will all be worth it.

Doc wants to contact a High Risk facility and find out of we should be concerned at all about one baby being a week behind (but is still growing each week). They said it is nothing to worry about but this is very rare and they want to make sure they are taking appropriate care of me. Did I ever mention how much I love this new office I am going to? Anyways, they want to see if they should be good monitoring me less or if we should keep the weekly appointments. I am kind of liking the weekly appointments but its kind of taking time away from my job and im thinking it wont be much longer until people start to catch on. Thanks so much for all of the prayers as we are all doing good so far. I'm not out of the woods yet but I am feeling very positive about this one.

Dear God, your amazing power has given us this double blessing and I cannot thank you enough. The journey that we have been on has been long and painful but I know in the end it will be for a purpose. I thank you for everything in my life and for the amazing family and friends that I have. I want to pray for every person that I care about and also the woman who are currently ttc. They need some positive in their lives because many are feeling very down lately. If you could help them out it would be much appreciated. Thank you for all that you do. Amen.

6 week ultrasound and a surprise

So this afternoon I went in for my second u/s and was told I would see the babies heartbeat. Well much to my surprise I actually saw and heard TWO!! I was thinking a week ago I might be pregnant with twins because of my high HCG levels and I thought I saw two sacs last time I had a u/s. Well they confirmed today that indeed I am! They each have there own sacs and are fraternal twins. One baby was conceived a week after I conceived the first. So baby #1 is 6 weeks along and baby #2 is 5 weeks. It was so amazing to see and hear their heartbeats and I love my beans so much already. I hope and pray that these guys stay strong as they would make me the happiest woman in the world. DF is in shock still but is super excited. We are sticking to our plans and not telling family/friends until after the first trimester. This is going to make it so much harder!!! Please babies stick as I would love to meet you in February. I love you both so much already.

Dear God, wow what a double blessing that You have given us. I cannot thank You enough for what You have done for our growing family. You are amazing as is the work that you do. I want to pray for the people in my life that I love so dearly. Please keep them safe and happy. My friends and my family are my life. I also want to pray for the other wonderful woman who are trying to conceive. I know the journey can be so hopeless and depressing but these woman continue to keep their faith which is admirable. Thank you again for everything you do. Amen.

245 days to go

I went to my first ultrasound Thursday and everything looked good and was right on track. I was a little concerned though because when she was looking around there were 2 sacs that I saw at some angles. I asked her what the second one was (twins?) and she said that it may just be some blood and if I start spotting in the next few days to not worry about it. I thought it was weird because she didn't even mention the second "sac" until I brought it up. I almost asked if I could get a picture of it but I don't want to be that crazy lady that demands stuff and doesn't trust her opinion. I'm not sure but I think she is the only u/s tech at my office. I honestly hope there are others and I can get someone different next week that knows more about what they are doing. Sorry I know that's kind of rude, but when I asked what the second blob was she said "Hmmm....I don't know". That just worries me a little bit. But they confirmed that everything was right on schedule so I really have no right to complain. The well being of my baby is priority number 1.

Of course we have talked baby names in the prior pregnancies. If we have a boy we want to name him Brayden Michael Vesey. I think it is soooo cute and he loves it too. We really haven't talked much about girl names yet. But we have lots of time to figure that out in that case. I did tell my boss that I was preggers. I pretty much had to because I now have weekly appointments and I just didn't want her thinking I was some slacker or something. She was really excited for me and promised to keep it under wraps. I hope I can trust her! Well everything is going good so far. I hope it continues to stay like this.

Dear God, I can not thank you enough for the blessing that you gave me. Please help this little bean stay strong so his/her mommy can hold them in her arms in 9 months. You have taught me many lessons and the latest has been patience. I have been so patient and couldn't be happier that I am again pregnant. I want to shout it from the rooftops but we have decided not to tell anyone this time to protect ourselves. Please help protect us from getting hurt again. Tell my angel babies that I love and miss them dearly. Amen

Nervous excitement

Well today marks me at 4w4d along. I had a few more Beta tests done since my last post and I wanted to post them. The nurse said my numbers look great right now!

Friday 06/04: HCG 1052
Monday 06/07: HCG 4273

I cannot believe how smoothly everything is going so far. But I am not naive enough to think that something could not go wrong at the drop of a dime. But I have to stay positive because that is what I owe my baby. They at least deserve a chance. I go in to the OB on Thursday for my 5 week ultrasound. I will be going in sooner and more frequent because I am a High Risk pregnancy due to my 2 m/c's. I am relieved at the frequent visits because it will keep me from losing my mind in between visits. I am pretty excited about the ultrasound and DF will be going with me. I have heard because it is so soon I may not see alot except for a gestational sac and a fetal pole. I'm hoping that I get lucky and get to see my little bean swimming around in there. And maybe even see a heartbeat! I will let you know how it goes. Keep me in your prayers.

Dear God, I cannot thank you enough for what you have given me. There were many times that I was selfish and only wanted but never gave. Those days are over and I put you first before everything in my life. You have given me my dear angel babies and I have been lucky enough to get pregnant again and fairly easy. Please if you could just keep an eye on my little bean swimming around in there I would love to meet them in 8 months. I love him/her so much already. Thank you for blessing me with a wonderful family and friends. Without their support I wouldn't be the strong woman that I am today. Please look after them as well. Amen

So far so Good!!

Just wanted to keep you updated as I promised :)

Called the OB today and they said my Beta HCG levels look great. My HCG is already at 474!! I couldnt be happier. I also uploaded a pic of the HPT I took Tuesday. At first I didnt believe my eyes but sure enough it was a BFP! I cant wait until my first u/s. So far so good. Let's hope my numbers keep doubling.

Dear God, I cannot thank You enough for what you have given me. This miracle was truly a Godsend and I dont know how to properly thank You. I am much closer to you now and I hope that helps with this 8 months long journey. I am forever grateful. Amen

A drumroll please.....

What a fun weekend we had up North at the lake. The weather seriously couldn't have been better and the wedding was just beautiful. It was very relaxing. After such a wonderful trip I received some good news....I'm pregnant again!!

We got home on Monday and I went back to work Tuesday. I felt "off" and knew something was up that morning. He was joking around saying that maybe I was pregnant. I honestly thought there was no way since I didn't feel pregnant and we didn't try that hard this month. So on my lunch break I broke down and bought a HPT and to my surprise I got my BFP!! I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me and couldn't even believe that there were two pink lines on the stick. I am over the moon happy. I truly think that this one is my "sticky bean". I really do hope so as it would make me so very happy. We have decided not to tell anyone this time around and want to hear the baby's heartbeat first. Better be safe than sorry because if anyone knows - anything could happen. I called the OB today to find out what to do from here and they want me to come in every other day to get my Beta HCG read. When it gets up to 3000 they will do a ultrasound. That is sounding really good right now! I just pray that I am not getting my hopes up to only be let down again. I will keep you updated regardless.

Dear God, I just want to thank you for all of the wonderful things you have brought to my life. Between having my partner, family and wonderful friends you would assume things couldn't be better. Well they are because you blessed us with a little miracle. Please help this bean stay strong so that in 8 months I can meet them and bring him/her home. I cannot thank you enough for your blessings. I also want to pray for my ttc friends. I know many of them have had such a bumpy road. Can you help them in any way? Thank you thank you thank you. I love you and your amazing power. I cannot thank you enough.
