Heart beat Heart beat

:heartbeat  :heartbeat

That is what we saw and heard today!

One baby has a heart rate of 134 and is .67 cm and the other has a heart rate of 118 and is .57 cm. They were both just flickering away on the U/S!!!

:)

I'm so happy I can hardly stand it!

It's TWINS!

We went in to the RE's office and immediately saw TWO beautiful sacs. He saw the yolk sac for Baby 1 right away and was concerned about Baby 2. Then he got a slightly different angle and saw the yolk sac for Baby 2 as well!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!

Tomorrow is the first U/S

I feel like a kid at Christmas! I know sleeping is going to be challenging tonight.

I just hope we are able to see something and that all looks well!

Today, I am 5W1D.

Got my 2nd beta... but I don't believe it

Not emotionally anyway. Logically, I can understand that the amount of HcG in my blood shows that yes, I am indeed pregnant. In fact, as the RE's nurse and many people here at FT have said, VERY pregnant.

But knowing that logically, and REALLY grasping that there is a little person (or people!) growing inside me, that yes, I am going to be a mom, that although I am still and will always be infertile, that I am no longer "barren" (I hate that word!)

I wonder when I will become obsessive about whether the pg will stick or not. I am not there yet, because I am not fully believing that I am actually pg. I can't have kids, so it can't be true.

I'll put it this way. Have you ever lost someone you love, either by a break-up or by death, and you wake up and that horrible wave of realization comes over you like a punch in the stomach. They are gone. They're really gone. And you feel dizzy, and sick, and the feeling is just SO SO real and palpable.

Well, this is the same type of feeling, but in an opposite way. I will be going about my business, my daily routine, and suddenly I will think "I am pregnant", and that wave of realization hits for only a moment (of course without the horrible pain of loss associated with it) and then I just don't believe it again. It can't be true. I can't have kids, remember?

I really hope that IF doesn't define me to the point where I am unable to enjoy this, no matter how it ends. Of course I hope it ends with our dream coming true.

Oh by the way, my 2nd beta today was 863.
