Update
I feel like my tummy seems a little bigger today, kind of weird! I ate better today and yesterday it seems like if my stomach doesn't get as empty I get less nauseous. I had my first craving this morning, I wanted a blueberry bagel with blueberry cream cheese. Im ready for tomorrow! I had a half of one after work, it was delish! They are so right when they say when you eat what you crave it is SO good!! I don't think anything has tasted really good for weeks (except oj)
Thankfully I have not had any issues from the separation sac. So far so good, I hope by my next ultrasound its gone.
Blood tomorrow, hopefully everything will be great and I can get off a little more meds!

Weight loss
Im a little concerned because I just realized I've lost 10 pounds! Considering with the pcos I struggle to loose A pound, that is a lot! I've definitely lost my appetite but I am eating as much as I can and healthy foods. My books say I should be able to start wearing my maternity close, instead im in 6's with a belly band. I emailed my nurse we will see what she says...
She said its not abnormal and to try to eat 6 small meals and 80-100 oz of water. Easier said then done! I will do my best! Water is no problem its just so hard to eat when your not hungry and feel like poop!!

7 weeks
Thank gd an other week down!! I had an ultrasound and blood test this morning, numbers and both babies look great measuring perfect. (I've decided its a boy and girl because one heart beat is faster then the other. Not that there is any merit to that at this point but it sounds good :)
The not so good news was, I have a small separation sac which means one of the sacs slightly pulled away. It doesn't effect the baby but best case my body absorbs it and it goes away, worst case I have some spotting. They say the best thing you can do is stay off your feet. Awesome. That's not so easy with my job, I've already cut my hours to 4 five hour days. And I feel like I have done so good about resting a lot. I don't know what too much is now, they just say listen to my body if I get tired and crampy its too much. Im always tired these days and I don't want to do anything to jeopardize this pregnancy. On the other hand its hard enough to pay bills with my hours cut and need to work while I can... my blood lady at ccrm that I love, said to expect the dr's to make me stop working at 20 weeks. (At least when that happens ill have disability insurance this time, thank you Aflac! Although its not much it will help).
Obviously the babies are most important, we will figure the rest out. Its still a little hard to eat, nothing sounds good except pasta with just butter or cheese and fruit. I try to eat as much healthy food as possible at this point its just good to eat anything!! I filled out my transfer papers today so besides blood work this was my last appointment at CCRM. Next Friday I move on to OBX! We are very slowly getting off meds for the next 3 days the only difference is 1 less progesterone. Slow is good id like no more scares, concers or worries for the next 29- ish weeks!!

Twice the blessing
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!!

6 weeks
I am six weeks now and im so thankful, (plus I read in my what to expect book that an ivf pregnancy isn't safe until 6 weeks or something. Yeah I regretted reading that, but here we are. One hurdle down.)
My body is definitely changing, and my tummy popped out a little this week. ( My friend Mandy Henry told me i would show early with a second pregnancy, she was not kidding! Im definitely not big or anything you can just see a difference especially since I lost a little from not being able to eat much)
Pregnancy does funny things to you and your body and its just funny to notice them as they happen. I get really cold all the time, my sweet tooth is gone, im freaking out because every time I was my hair im shedding WAY more then ever. I knew that happened after you have a baby but not before. Im very jumpy in the car all of the sudden, tv makes me cry often (and then I laugh at myself ) quizzyness comes and goes all day and night, and apparently no hamburgers for me! at least right now. We went to dinner with Joel and Lindsay Friday night to a burger place in Castle Rock and as soon as they set it down I wanted to puke, it was not happening! ! Im definitely more thirsty, and when I have to pee, I HAVE to pee! I know things are progressing, because im always noticing changes. (Although last week was so calm I felt the need to take a test just to reassure myself, and even though I knew, I was still nervous while I was waiting. But a positive never gets old! I left it there to look at for days. It was the digital kind that said pregnant, I did not throw it away until the screen went blank).
Im so thankful every minute of everyday. Im looking forward to moving on to OBX, im not positive but I think by 8 weeks ill be there, ill find out on Tuesday....

Update
I had a blood test this morning, and levels look great.
Estrogen is 500 they want it above 300, progesterone is 40 they want it above 20.
They are leaving everything alone until ultrasound.
I feel good! Can't wait for next Tuesday! !
