10 Weeks and Going Strong!



Today was our 10 week appointment and everything looked great.  Both babies are now positioned with their heads close together and were VERY active!  We have some nice printed photos of them (at least their heads, arms, and legs together), but they didn't scan well at all so I didn't include them. It's impossible to get a shot of both babies together, as they are in different planes and wiggly.  We were able to see so much more today than 2 weeks ago, including hands, heads, tummies, legs, and even the spinal column of each baby.  While most women talk about their strong emotions when seeing a heartbeat...I had MUCH more emotion today seeing the babies moving!  It was amazing and almost unbelievable that Adam and I could be parents of these little miracles!  We did forget our nice camera today, so the video was taken with a cell phone...held sideways.  I think it still gets the point across though!  On other news, last night was my official last hip/butt injection!  I'm now being transitioned to skin patches and pills...which is so nice compared to the shots!  My hips are thanking me already!  As always, our doc was very happy with everything and has decided to keep us a minimum of 12 weeks and probably more like 16.  After our journey, I find this comforting!
Our next visit is August 20.  I don't expect much in the interim...but will post with any news that may arise.  These babies are the answer to many, many prayers and we feel super blessed to have made it this far with little ones who seem to be thriving!

Congratulations!! I've been wondering how your baby odyssey has been going and it is finally a wonderful success! I'm so happy for you. I just caught up on your posts. It seems you were getting implanted right about the time my baby was due! We are so blessed to have a healthy boy and of course, sleep drived. You know you're delirious when are holding a baby in one arm and can't find what you're looking for in the other! I wish you a healthy pregnancy and look forward to seeing your baby pictures next year!

Jessica, I would have taken a photo if I had known it was my last! To be honest though, being on the Prometrium/Endometrin together isn't exactly any better though!

Thanks everyone for your well-wishes!
