5 weeks 3 days

We had the first ultrasound this morning. I am delighted to report that we currently have twins!!! The doctor noted that 25% of twin pregnancies go on to deliver only one baby, so we are obviously not banking on this actually happening. My husband and I are in shock & can't believe there are 2 little ones in there! We are so jadded from our past miscarriages that we can't even fathom having one healthy baby, so having two is almost laughable & very far fetched.

The doctor said that she saw everything that she wanted to see at this point. They both had yolk sacs & a "good" shape. My numbers were also very good....they went from 481, eight days ago, to 14,427!!!!!! I have NEVER had such high hcg numbers....even when I was over 9 weeks pregnant! (Obviously this is because of the dynamic duo!) I have to go back next Monday (11/29) for another ultrasound....this one to detect fetal poles & heartbeats! I can guarantee this will be the longest Thanksgiving break I have ever had!

I have been totally exhausted the past week. All I do is go to work, come home & take a nap, wake up to eat & do a butt shot, and then go back to bed for the night....in between all this, I pee about 1,000 times! I will gladly continue with this glamorous life if it means having a healthy baby...or two!!

Well, thanks for the prayers & positive thoughts! They are working wonders.....and we wouldn't mind a few more!!! Take care & Best wishes to all!!!!
