Hey! Two for the price of one!

That is what our doctor announced to Jay and I yesterday during our 6week3day ultrasound (I thought I was at 6w5d so the due date will change). Jay and I are expecting twin babies in July. I cannot even begin to describe the emotions I felt upon learning that I was carrying two healthy babies.

Yesterday was such a crazy day with a huge range of emotions. I burst into tears while sitting in the waiting room. I was so overcome with emotion that I had sat in that waiting room for almost a year trying to get pregnant and here we were about to see our baby for the first time. I was just so thankful, scared, nervous, worried, and blessed (and hormonal!) all at the same time.

At the beginning of the ultrasound the doctor commented that he saw two gestational sacs and that he could definitely see the baby and the heartbeat in the larger/closer sac. We held our breath and waited for what seemed like forever before he located the baby and heart in the smaller sac. He told me both sacs were actually the same size, one was just closer to the ultrasound wand. Their little heartbeats flickered and hearing them beat was the coolest sound! Jay was practically leaning over me to get a closer look at the monitor. On another note, the doctor told me I could stop progesterone shots, begin working out (walking only), and needed to keep a very close eye on my diet.

I was so floored to learn that we were pregnant with twins. I was so overwhelmed. I was tearing up and my chest was tightening with anxiety all at the same time. I kept feeling like I was going to pee on the ultrasound wand! The nurse had to ask me if I was ok. I was so thankful to have two healthy babies but terrified at the same time. Dollar signs flashed through my head! I'm just praying everything will work out from the health of our babies, to our sanity, to raising two babies at once! Without further ado, I present the twins:

Baby A is on the left and measures at .63cm with a heartbeat of 124 bpm. Baby B is on the right and also measures at .63cm with a heartbeat of 127 bpm.
