Twice the blessing

Yesterday we had our first ultrasound appointment. I met Jason there and the ultrasound tech came out to get us right away. As we were walking back she said I need to talk to you first, I just looked at Jas. I was so glad I hadn't had blood work or anything yet so I knew nothing was wrong! She began to tell us we were there too early, my calendar got messed up and I was only 5 weeks (which I knew was wrong) and If we couldnt see anything then it would either be because it was too early or something was wrong. So we went around and around for about 15 minutes talking about when to reschedule and If Jason has to go out of town next week it would postpone it an other week etc... Thankfully we talked long enough we finally figured out Dr. Schoolcraft put the wrong transfer date in the computer, and surprise surprise I am 6 weeks and 2 days (just what I said)! So she frantically got the room ready and we did the ultrasound. Immediately she said "oh I see 2 babies and 2 heartbeats!! "Ill let that soak in for a minute while I measure the other stuff"
We were both so happy and excited, its the best thing in the world to see the little heartbeats! I think most people probably freak out at multiples but when you think you have one and find out you have 3, nothing is shocking! Especially since we chose two this time and assumed it most likely was. My body is so all or nothing and numbers were kind of a give away!! It  was fun to see everything and she gave us 8 pictures. Each by themselves, each heart beat and together. Baby A measured at 6 weeks and 2 days, .42cm, heart rate was 127 beats per minute. Baby B measured at 6 weeks and 3 days, .50cm, heart rate was 119 per minute. Everything is perfect!
I feel good, Im tired and nauseous all the time but I know its a good sign. Sometimes if I force myself to eat it helps the nausea go away. Im still on all the meds, my estrogen is 825 and they want it greater then than 300 and my progesterone is 26.4 and they want it greater than 20, so everything is great but they want to  leave it an other week. I have an other ultrasound and  blood test Monday and my first appointment at OBX on the 27th. Its a 2 hour appointment! But im ready to go to them, talk about all the important things and get my questions answered! What a great day yesterday was! I am so so happy, excited and thankful! My favorite comments of the day were Emma said " Im going to be a double cousin!!" and my Grandma said "thats the best thing that happened to me all year" Everyone was so excited and happy and said such sweet things! I am so grateful to be loved and surrounded by such amazing family and friends!!
