Today could have been the best or worst Valentine's: this morning we had our ultrasound. Originally it was supposed to be on Saturday, but we realized that there was a miscommunication and that they don't do non-required-cycle ultrasounds on Saturday. That's a story in itself that at this point bores even me, so I will spare you the details.
I think I may have held my breath as the ultrasound began. My husband has never seen an ultrasound, which seems incredulous now that I think about it, so it was a completely new experience for him. (I've lost count on how many I've had in the last year alone!) After what seemed like forever (really just a few seconds), the big black circle came into focus. With a little white circle (yolk sack) inside. And a blinky heartbeat that measured at 129 beats per second. The doctor said it was perfect.
And then she showed us #2... Equally perfect.
U/s #2 as in twins? Sorry I am a little slower today. Congrats on seeing a heartbeat/beats... So excited for you guys!
ReplyDeleteYep! Sac #2: twins. I'm excited and terrified. Lol
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh that is amazing!! I knew the hcg numbers were pretty amazing so it was in my mind :)
DeleteWhaaaatttt????!!!!! OMG, this is amazing!!!! What a huge blessing!! Did you ever imagine?
DeleteI had a feeling after the 3rd hCG because of the big jump, but I didn't want to drive myself crazy thinking about it. My hubby thought it was from the beginning.
DeleteHoping it lasts and that everyone (including surrogate) is ok.
TWINS!!!! Congrats! So glad the u/s went well.
