I guess I’ll just have to admit that I don’t have the time I’d like to keep this bad baby up to date!<br />
<br />
Let’s see...last I left I believe I was pregnant with my son. He is now 2! His name is Finnigan Oliver and he’s absolutely hysterical! He’s a little genius, too! Born in December, 7lbs 1oz.<br />
<br />
I had another cesarean because my doctor wouldn’t let me go past 40 weeks and I didn’t go into labor naturally. He had his meconium while being delivered so he had to get his stomach auctioned out immediately, but then daddy got to hold him while I got out back together!<br />
<br />
This time around I hired a birth photographer and I am SO glad I did, easily the best decision ever! She made a spectacular video for us as well.<br />
<br />
So Finn was crawling at 6 months and walking by 10 months, he started talking soooo early, I don’t even remember how old, just after turning 1 maybe? Anyway, now at 2 years and 2 months old, he can have a full on conversation, almost as well as his 4yo sister.<br />
<br />
Here’s some pictures!<br />

Savannah was 10 months old the last time I wrote and she is now TWO!!! Holy hell.<br>
<br>
Well, she is doing great! Running full speed everywhere. One day she saw Dory on TV and had sooooo much to say about it (she had never even seen Finding Nemo). Later we were at Target and she saw a whole Dory display and lost her mind again!<br>
We bought Finding Nemo and then took her to see Finding Dory a few days later. I can't believe it but she sat through the whole movie! She loves fish in general so maybe that's what inspired her love for Dory.<br>
<br>
So, she had a Finding Dory themed birthday party, which she absolutely loved!<br>
<br>
This little girl is so spoiled by her grandparents! She got so many wonderful gifts but her favorite was her baby doll. She does everything with that thing! Feeds her, changes her diaper, puts her in the car. It's the cutest thing ever.<br>
<br>
She started Preschool in June. We had a few rough days in the beginning but now she is so excited to get there and play with her friends and is absolutely in love with her teacher. I couldn't be happier!<br>
<br>
Big News!<br>
<br>
I'm pregnant! With a boy! We did another round of IVF in April and here I am 25 weeks into the pregnancy. It's been a tough go physically and mentally but he is doing great, I'm getting regular doctor visits to keep on top of everything and make sure nothing strange is going on. In 7 weeks (right around the time of Savannah's birth and the loss of her sister) the doc is going to start seeing me twice a week. I am very relieved that he is taking my situation seriously and doesn't make me feel weird for wanting extra visits or any silly concerns. I love my doctor!<br>
<br>
Little boy is due December 19th and I have a c-section scheduled for that date because my doctor doesn't want me going overdue at all. I am, however, hoping for a VBAC which he is okay with as long as nothing comes up that requires emergency c-section or that I don't go overdue because he also won't induce me since I had a c-section previously.<br>
<br>
My hopes are the I go into labor somewhere between December 1 and December 14 so that I can have a VBAC, be fully healed and do a Christmas photoshoot with the little guy before Christmas! But, I will take him when I get him, however he decides to arrive as long as he's alive and healthy (and me too!).<br>
<br>
It did take several months for me to bond during this pregnancy. I think it was due to nerves...but I am hooked now! I cannot wait to meet him and see how Savannah is with him.<br>
<br>
I am going to put a reminder in my phone to do more updates here because 14 months is just too long!<br>
<br>

<br />
Savannah is now 10 months old! I can hardly believe how fast the time has gone. I remember as a child that time was so slow, 1 year felt like forever and now, 1 year has almost passed since Savannah was born and it feels like it's only been 4 months. Slow down!!!<br />

let's see...she's not yet crawling but is sooo close. She's been standing (assisted) for about 6 months now and walks around the furniture a bit and really cruises in her walker! She babbles non-stop and it's the cutest thing! She recently learned to point at things and goes, "ooooh! ooooh!" and that is the cutest thing ever! Basically, everything she does is the cutest.</div>

I have been so lucky to be able to breastfeed her from the beginning without any issues. It wasn't hard, she latched easily and my nipples didn't crack or anything! She does acrobats when she nurses now and just expects my nipples to stretch along with her. OUCH!!! Now, at 10 months my left nipple is pretty sore most of the time, I think I'm going to start weaning her and be totally done nursing by her birthday. I started her on solids around 5 months old but she wasn't super interested until about 7 months. At 8-9 months old she got REALLY into food! She gobbles down any baby food I give her (unless it has meat) and now she wants table foods. I give her small pieces of chicken, mashed potato, fruits (she loves strawberries), noodles, etc. Basically, if it's small and soft and not too salty I will give her little bits. She doesn't have any teeth yet but she mashes with her gums like a champ.<br />

I have finally gotten her to fall asleep on her own. I have been rocking/nursing/cuddling her to sleep since we brought her home from the NICU and I recently decided I needed to stop and let her learn to sleep on her own. I established a routine of bringing her in the nursery, turning the lights out or dim them, turn on her music, rock her for about 2 minutes then I'd tell her goodnight and put her in her crib. The first two days I laid next to her crib and put my hand in there for her to hold. She cried on and off for about 15 minutes before she fell asleep. Then the next few days I said goodnight and put her in the crib and sat in the rocking chair (and never looked at her or said anything to her). She cried about 6 minutes one day and the next day didn't cry at all! Now, I can tell her goodnight and set her in her crib and then I leave the room immediately. She usually gives a few cries to entice me back but as long as she isn't screaming her head off, I never picked her back up or said anything to her. It's so much easier now! She does this for naps and night time.<br />

I find that my social calendar is filling up so fast now that I'm a mother. Baby showers here, birthday parties there, zoo trips, beach trips, family reunions, etc. I recently got this awesome organizer to help me keep track of things. I also have a dry erase board calendar that goes by the desk so we can all see it! So helpful.<br />

<br />
Things have been so crazy the last 5 months raising this baby girl. Savannah is so sweet and hilarious, I can't imagine not having her around.<br />
<br />
I am so lucky and so happy to be able to say that I am living my life long dream of being a full-time stay at home mom and I am grateful everyday for having such a wonderful husband that wants this dream for me too.<br />
<br />
Savannah is 5 months old tomorrow. She loves to stand and can almost sit up on her own now. She has been a little behind the average baby with her hands, she is only now learning to grab things but holy moly is it amazing. It never gets old to see her learn new things and to be able to gain more control over her body. I am stunned everyday by her beauty and I have no idea how I made her!<br />
<br />
My mother-in-law has been here from Italy since Savannah was 2 1/2 months old and has been a big help and a joy to have around. You know how crazy loud Italians can be...Savannah loves it! hahaha!<br />
<br />
I am so happy to see the people in the blogs I follow all doing so well! Congrats on your babies and soon to arrive bundles of joy!<br />
<br />
I am going to try to get back in the habit of writing in this blog...sooooo talk to you soon!!<br />

A lot has happened.<br />
<br />
The good news first: I have a beautiful daughter named Savannah. She was born August 26 at 6:25pm. She is the most beautiful little thing I've ever seen!<br />
<br />
On August 25 I went in for my regular NST and the nurse was having a hard time separating out the girls heartbeats, I told her that had never happened before and she probably wasn't getting A's because she always difficult to find, but she insisted it was normal for twins to have very similar heart rates. After being there for over an hour and having the beats be the exact same she said she thought it looked okay but would have the doctor look at the graph to make sure he saw what he needed in A's heart rate changes. When my doctor came he said that the monitors were picking up the same heart beat and that he would do an ultrasound to see where baby A was so they could correctly place the monitor and start again. When he did the ultrasound he could not see A's heartbeat on the machine. After continuing to look for a few minutes he called two other doctors who were more educated on the machine for second opinions. Both doctors saw the same thing. We don't know why or how but our twin A had passed away. We had just seen both the girls on the ultrasound the previous Thursday and they were both perfect.<br />
<br />
Since our twins were in separate sacks and didn't share a placenta the doctor said I could still carry twin b for as long as I wanted without risk to her, or I could deliver her early. The choice was mine.<br />
I didn't have to think about it at all, I did not want to be pregnant and longer knowing what I had just found out. So my c-section was scheduled for the next day.<br />
<br />
August 26th was both the happiest and saddest day of my life. I delivered my girls via c-section at 33 weeks and 2 days gestation. If I had thought about it at all I would have requested to go under for the surgery rather than stay awake. First of all it was actually a lot more painful than I was led to believe. I also had a panic attack during the surgery and was lucky my husband is amazing and got me to calm down. I fell asleep after he talked me out of it, but I do remember still hearing what was happening. At one one point the Anesthetist kept telling me to wake up. Apparently when I went to sleep my breathing slowed down too much, so they had to keep waking me up. There was a lot of buzz in the room while they were working but it all went silent when they pulled twin A out, that's how I knew she was out. We decided not to see her body but requested pictures to be taken of her so that we could see her when we decided we could handle it. I still haven't looked. A minute later twin B came out and I heard a tiny little cry, more like an unhappy grunt, and they tried to show her to me over the curtain but all I could see was a tiny foot. After a time they brought Savannah back over to me and put her head next to mine so I could kiss her and then they whisked her to the NICU. I was pretty out of it at this point but I do remember how warm her cheek was next to my lips.<br />
<br />
The hospital gave us a "memory box" of the pictures and other mementos of twin A for us to take home, which I assume includes her birth info but I haven't been able to open it yet. So I only know her birth date.<br />
<br />
Twin A - Scarlett Addison<br />
August 26th, 2014<br />
<br />
Twin B - Savannah Belle<br />
August 26th, 2014<br />
6:15pm<br />
4lbs 1oz.<br />
16 1/4 inches long<br />
<br />
Savannah spent 18 days in the NICU and was a rockstar. She tackled everything and improved so quickly. The only "problems" she had were jaundice and choking on her food and forgetting to resume breathing afterward. She was under the Bili lights for 2 days and never had to go back. Thank God! It was really sad to see her under them.<br />
<br />
Once they started her on bottle feeding she really took off! The nurses and doctors said they had never seen a baby do so well so fast. The first time she ate without a feeding tube she downed the whole bottle in 10 minutes. They standardly give each baby a half hour to eat as much as they can and normally they babies use that full time and only eat a portion of the food. I was quite proud of my little piglet.<br />
<br />
She has been home 11 days now and has been doing great. She gained weight and is nearly 5lbs now! I love her very much and am so happy to have her around.<br />
<br />
I still think about Scarlett everyday. It's a strange feeling to miss someone you've never met, but I really do miss her and I probably always will.<br />
<br />
I am thankful to have Savannah around and I will love her until the end of time!<br />
<br />
I may or may not continue blogging, but I will be checking in on my blogger friends to see how they're doing. I'll leave you with some photos.<br />

It seems it's actually just a <a href="http://www.twinsdays.org/pictures/" target="_blank">festival</a> in Ohio that they do every year for twins, but I like the idea so I'm going to roll with it!<br />
<br />
Happy National Twins Day!!! :D<br />
<br />
The best part of today is that I can now officially say that my twins are due NEXT MONTH!!! Holy crap. It has gone by so fast and to be able to say that is both nerve wracking and beyond exciting!!<br />
<br />
I still have a lot to do to get the house ready and decisions to make, such as will I try a natural birth if they are cooperative? Just go with a c-section? We still don't have a middle name for one of the girls. We know we want it to start with 'A'. Any suggestions?? :)<br />
<br />
Ohhh, I still have to pack my hospital bags. I've started it but I just don't know what the heck to bring. And suggestions on this subject will be super appreciated!<br />
<br />
I would also like to say that I have been so happy with the blog posts from the people I follow, pregnancies everywhere!! Thank God for fertility doctors, we all get to live our dream of being mothers because of them!! Congrats everybody!!!<br />

Yay!<br>
<br>
We went back for our follow up appointment on the Monday after the big ordeal and things were definitely looking up. I was on the machine for about 30 minutes this time and had only a few, very minor contractions. It was pretty uneventful actually. Doc just said to keep on bedrest and continue with the medications until our next appointment in a week. I did just that!<br>
<br>
So, now last Wednesday we had a growth scan, cervical length check and glucose test!<br>
<br>
28w3d Growth Scan - OMG! These girls are just to DIE for!! I am soo excited to meet them it's all I can do to not secretly hope they arrive early. Baby B had flipped so she is now head down, which I had suspected because I seemed to be carrying them much lower and could breathe a lot better! During the scan we got to see her practice her breathing!!!! Such an adorable thing to witness...her little diaphragm moving up and down...so. cute.<br>
<br>
Baby B was measuring 28w5d and 2lbs 8oz! I'm so proud of her. She's the one whose cord is attached at the side of the placenta and there was a slight worry in the beginning that she may have issues getting enough nutrition but she has really proved us wrong!<br>
<br>
Baby A is still head down as she has been all along and continues to try and hide during every ultrasound! The ultrasound tech had to lay me flat on my back for a few minutes while she tried to get a better visual of her head. It worked! And she still has a huge head, measuring 30 weeks! Hahaha!!!<br>
<br>
We got to see that she has hair! It was waving in the amniotic fluid. Who knows it she'll actually keep it once she comes out but it was adorable to see.<br>
<br>
Baby A measured 29w3d and weighs approximately 2lbs 11oz.<br>
<br>
The best thing about this scan was that they were both giving us great profile shots and the tech switched to 3D imaging. Ho-ly crap! it's so amazing!! I had never really been into the 3D images, I felt it was overkill and didn't really understand why someone would do it. But the tech didn't ask us, she just switched over and it was amazing. My babies are the cutest babies ever! One of the girls (A) was squished a bit cause she is so far down in my pelvis so she kinda looks like Sylvester Stallone in her picture, but she is still amazingly cute!<br>
<br>
After our awesome scan she checked my cervix which grew slightly! So after meeting with my doctor he determined that I should keep doing what I've been doing, I don't need to take the meds unless I feel the contractions coming back (I have since started them again :/ ) and we will see how things are going next week.<br>
<br>
Glucose - I passed!! It was quite a relief because that's the last thing I want to have to worry about with all the other stuff going on. They did see that my hemoglobin levels were at 11.7 and they should be at 12 or above so he has me taking an over the counter iron supplement every other day. Easy peasy.<br>
<br>
So here are a few photos to end this post with! I'll do my best to keep a better log of things. :)<br>

And I can now tell you with certaintity that I know what belly tightening feels like.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>The Bad:</b> I went in for my regular checkup yesterday (26w4d) and my usually long and strong cervix had shortened by half in just two weeks. They didn't tell me the exact measurements this time but when I looked on the screen it really looked like it's at 1.4 but if I shortened by half, it would be about a 2. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
They put me on the monitor for an NST for about an hour and I had several contractions. The problem is, that I just thought I was having Braxton Hicks. My belly had been getting hard and with that was like a tiny bit of pressure, not a lot, and it didn't hurt so I wasn't too concerned. Though, on the Fourth of July I did have quite a few and thought about going in but I thought I was just being dramatic so nixed the idea :(</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>The Bedrest: </b>So, I am on medication to slow/stop the contractions and they gave me a shot of <a href="http://www.m.webmd.com/baby/antenatal-corticosteroids-for-fetal-lung-development" target="_blank">betamehasone</a>, a steroid to help develop the fetus' lungs in case of early delivery. I have to go back to the office this afternoon for a second shot and then remain on Bedrest until Monday, at which point we will do another NST and cervical length check to see how things are going. If things have gotten worse, I will be admitted to the hospital and put on a magnesium drip and stay there until the babies are born. Needless to say, I really really do. not want him to the hospital. Your prayers and well wishes are very much appreciated at this time! </div>

Mentally, I am doing pretty good. It's hard to not feel like maybe there was something I could have done to prevent it or if I had come in earlier it wouldn't be such a big deal. But, that won't get me anywhere good so I try not to think about it that way and just focus on the things I can do now to try to keep it at bay. My whole goal is to get these girls to stay in as long as possible and deliver them healthy and safely and of course I come out of it all safely and healthy too!</div>

Oh, and did I mention that my baby shower is tomorrow? Ugh, bedrest just in time for the baby shower… Dammit!</div>

I don't know why I wasn't doing this all along...derp! Okay, so here are all of the question I have asked so far. These are my interpretations of what my doctor said, do not take them as fact or in lieu of asking your own doctor!<br />
<br />
1. Why is it that sometimes my belly is hard and other times it's softer?<br />
This was asked very early on, maybe around 12 or 14 weeks. His answer was just that they are still so small that when they shift around my body will change. Also he did tell me that if it happens a lot throughout the day and is accompanied by a tightening of the stomach, to keep an eye on it as that can happen as a sign of early labor also. I'm still not clear on what people mean by "tightening" of the stomach. I hear that it happens when you're in labor but it doesn't seem like an easy think to diagnose when your belly is already rock hard from growing babies. I will let you know once I've experienced it!<br />
<br />
2. The age old question about the hazard of laying on my back.<br />
He explained the different veins that are in the back and how when you lay on your back some of them get constricted and has LESS blood flow, it's not like it stops blood flow to your body. He said that early on it won't matter that much but as I continue to grow it will become more and more uncomfortable and I likely won't even want to lie on my back. Basically it doesn't seem as scary as I've heard on other boards.<br />
<br />
3. Can I lay on my stomach?<br />
<br />
I kept waking up finding myself on my stomach pretty early on and I was concerned about squishing the babies.<br />
<br />
Doc says not to worry about it. They are protected with plenty of layers and fluids, lay however I want to get comfortable.<br />
<br />
4. There was a period of about a week where I was getting horrible, awful headaches. I asked him if this was normal.<br />
<br />
He says yes. It's all the hormone changes in your body, it can take it's toll. He recommended drinking more water and even more if I do any kind of exercise. I also went to see a Chiro for this which helped so much and I have only had one or two really bad headaches since the beginning of the pregnancy!<br />
<br />
5. Why are my hips so achy when I sleep?<br />
<br />
Again, things are moving and changing to make room for the babies and he said it's totally normal. He thinks that the body starts presenting with uncomfortable aches and pains to prepare you for not being able to sleep when the babies are born! haha :)<br />
<br />
6. Are lemons okay to eat?<br />
<br />
He says yes. I have eaten so many in this pregnancy and have not had anything weird happen.<br />
<br />
7. In case I deliver early, should I go to Huntington (my hospital) which is about 45 minutes away or go to the nearest hospital?<br />
<br />
He was very happy I asked this question. He said that the important thing would be to get to my hospital simply because it's the closest one around that is equipped with a top of the line NICU that can actually handle babies born 24 weeks and later. He said that if we went elsewhere the babies would just be air-lifted to Huntington anyway. Obviously this wouldn't apply if I was dying or something, but if I went into a normal but early labor, head to my hospital. I then asked what I should do if it's fast and the babies are coming out before I can get to the hospital. He said to rub their back and try to get them breathing and immediately do skin to skin also covered with a blanket and just get the eff to the hospital. If I remember correctly he said not to clamp or cut the cord if that happened. It was a scary conversation but a very important one.<br />
<br />
8. My brother, and later verified by hubby, informed me that I have bad breath. Awesome. Since it's never been a problem I've had before, I asked the doc.<br />
<br />
While talking to him I brought up that I also have a small amount of blood in my spit after I vomit (which is almost never now) and have since as far back as I can remember. Taking both things into account he said he would like me to see an Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) specialist. I haven't done that yet though. I had an appt but when I showed up the said, "oops...we actually do NOT take your insurance...". Dummies.<br />
<br />
9. At my last appt it was discovered that I had lost 2lbs since last visit and I wanted to make sure that was okay.<br />
<br />
He said, based on the weight I started the pregnancy, I should only expect to gain 15lbs or so the whole pregnancy and that he wasn't worried in the slightest. He kindly said, "You have plenty of nutrition to give them". Hahaha!<br />
<br />
<br />
And there you have it! Those are the questions I've asked so far (at least that I had written down!) I will update with each appt's new questions :)<br />

The girls look good, we got to hear their heartbeats again, I don't think we've heard them since seeing this new doc! We didn't get to find out their estimated weights at this appt but should next week! They are growing so fast now! So I guess it's been about 4 weeks since their last weigh in so they are probably well over a pound now. Last time A was 15oz. and B was 12oz. Holy smokes!<br />
<br />
I am seriously in love with feeling these girls moving around. I mean, it's just the coolest thing to ever happen!!! As my sister put it, it's magical. Truly. Last night were the best kicks yet - I was laying in bed and they started going crazy! I think they were kicking each other. I had to wake up my husband so he could feel. I can't say enough how happy it makes me when they wiggle around. :D After all that wiggling I got the worst round ligament pains! I woke up in the middle of the night thinking something was wrong. I almost woke my husband up cause I could hardly move, but then I realized what the pain was and it went away in a minute or so. I hate ligament pain!<br />
<br />
I'm having a problem with wanting to go out and see my friends. Most of them do not have kids and like to start their hang outs at 7pm and I just can't do it. There are days where I have the energy for sure but I just really don't want to drag my butt out of the house and drive 35 minutes to only stay for an hour or so. Plus, sitting is just plain hard for me now. I can't get comfortable easily and when I do, it's only comfortable for about 10 minutes and then I have to move again! Sigh. Hopefully they can understand.<br />
<br />
Anyhoo, there's my brief update! :)<br />

Hey y'all!!</div>
<br />
Well, things have been going great! I currently 22w3d in and so far it's been pretty smooth. My main "complaint" is that with my growing belly, movement is much more difficult. Sometimes I will sit down too fast and squish the belly or squatting to get laundry out of the washer really squishes it! But I'm getting used to it and learning to modify my moves.<br />
<br />
Since my last post I have started feeling movement fairly consistent and on Sunday their kicks were SO strong! We were able to feel them on the outside of my belly <3<br />
<br />
We got this pack "In the Womb" dvds by National Geographic and in one scene they showed the husband pressing his ear to the mother's belly and said that you can hear the baby's heartbeat that way (after a certain amount of weeks, I don't remember how many) so we tried that and it works!! At first my husband said it was really faint but about a week, maybe 2 later, it was really obvious. I'm a little jealous that he can hear them and I can't! But I get to carry them and feel all their movements so I guess it's only fair that he has something I don't. :)<br />
<br />
We are getting really excited, it's really only a few months away now! We finished the nursery and it's just such a peaceful room to be in. All of our animals love to hang out in there!<br />
<br />
We also went to Utah for a small baby shower with my family and we got SPOILED!! We got both infant car seats, a double stroller, so many adorable outfits, blankets, bath stuff (my grandma got us the cutest bathtub, it has a little whirlpool "jet" in it! haha). It was such a blast, though I wasn't prepared for how much walking around and visiting there would be! I was way pooped by the end of the day.<br />
<br />
This past week I finally did some things for myself that I've been neglecting. I painted my nails (hubby did my toes!) and plucked my eyebrows and shaved my legs! Whoo!! I'm a woman again! Working from home I pretty much stay in my pajamas all day long and I began feeling a little bad for my husband. Haha! We went on a date Saturday to the Long Beach Aquarium, it was really nice! I hadn't been there since I was on a field trip in high school. The weather was perfect!<br />
<br />
Our next doc appointment is on Friday afternoon so I will do my best to update in the next few days instead of weeks!<br />
<br />
Oh! Advice needed: I need new bras so bad! Should I get nursing bras now? Should I just stick with a regular bra? Basically, I want something comfy, with great support cause these puppies are out of control huge now. :/ And I don't want to spend a fortune, especially if I'm going to have to buy more later....<br />

<br>
I had my anatomy scan on Wednesday and the girls look great! All body parts and organs are in their correct places and appear to be functioning just as they should be. It was really cool to be able to see all the organs doing their thing! There was a big screen TV where we got to watch the ultrasound being done and it was like we were spending some time with the babies! They were moving all around and have gotten quite big. They are about 10oz each!<br>
<br>
I would occasionally ask a question about what I was seeing or make a comment and the ultrasound tech told me I had a really good eye for it. Score!<br>
<br>
One thing that came up was the Baby B's cord is attached near the edge of her placenta and I guess that can result in slower growth and less blood flow, but for now she looks totally fine and it isn't really a problem. They just want to monitor her, even though there isn't anything that can be done anyway. I have faith she'll be just fine!<br>
<br>
Oh! My cervix length increased! My last visit was at 3.7cm and it's now 4.65. These babies aren't going anywhere anytime soon! :)<br>
<br>
I found some really cool twin life hacks or whatever you want to call them! I guess they aren't life hacks because someone actually makes and sells these products but I think they are brilliant! Check these things out:<br>

This Thursday I fly to Utah for a small family baby shower. I am very excited to see my family, and I wish that I was just a little further along so I had a bigger belly for them to love on but it's safer to fly earlier in the pregnancy and that obviously trumps everything else! </div>

This weekend was SOOOO productive for my hubby and I. We have <i>nearly </i>finished the girls' nursery and I can't stand how cute it is! It's definitely my favorite room in the house and I go in there just to hang out at least once a day. I want to post pictures so badly but I am going to wait until my next post in hopes that the finishing touches are done by then! But, I will show you this one picture because it's too cute. </div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I just entered my 16th week and everything is still going smoothly. I feel so lucky to have had very little "symptoms" and no problems at all. I know it's not always so easy!</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I had another checkup yesterday and things are well. I had my first cervical check and they said they were looking for a 3 or above and mine was 3.7 and looks nice and strong. The girls are measuring 1 and 3 days ahead. They have skeletons now! It was so weird to see on the screen, they look like little dragons!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Only 3 weeks until I head to Utah for a small family baby shower and get-together. I am very excited to see my family!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The nursery is coming along, it's almost emptied of all our stuff, next up is cleaning the carpets and then we can move the furniture in!!! This is very exciting for me :)</span><br />
<br />
<strong style="color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Nobile; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">How far along?</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Nobile; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> 16 weeks 2 days</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Nobile; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><b>Maternity clothes?</b> Yep! I bought a bunch more shirts at Target over the weekend. Now I just need more bottoms. I wish other clothes were as comfy as stretchy pants! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Nobile; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><b>Stretch marks?</b> The ones I already had are getting longer, so, yes. :/</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Nobile; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><strong>Sleep: </strong>It's been mediocre, my upper legs and hips have been hurting so I am constantly flipping sides in the night which makes it hard to get decent sleep. My doctor said it's just my body preparing me for the lots of restless nights to come!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Nobile; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><b>Best moment this week:</b> Going to the doc and seeing that everything is going okay! I start to get paranoid after 2 weeks of not knowing what's going on so the last week I was constantly concerned something was wrong. There was...my crazy paranoia! Everything is fine with the babies and with me! Now all my appointments are 2 weeks apart so I think I will be okay from here on out...I make no promises though!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Nobile; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><strong>Miss Anything? </strong>Sleeping soundly, but that's about it.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Nobile; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><b>Movement:</b> Yes! I am SURE I felt them move twice. Once at night and once the next morning. It was a completely different feeling than anything before. It felt like a giant flop, like a fish inside of me! Just one little flop each time. Nothing since then though. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Nobile; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><strong>Food cravings: </strong>I wouldn't say I'm really craving anything but eating has become much easier for the most part. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Nobile; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><strong>Gender: Baby girls x 2!!</strong> </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Nobile; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><strong>Labor Signs:</strong> Nope.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Nobile; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><b>Symptoms:</b> Headaches, round ligament pain, hard to sleep, it's starting to get hard to bend over or be in certain positions. Still have some food aversions but it's getting better and better. If I let myself get too hungry I feel nauseous. I have been having interesting things happening when I pee. It doesn't hurt or anything but I will have a stretch of a few days where it feel like I have to pee badly but only a little comes out at a time, and then it will randomly go away! I have been eating a lot of yogurt and cranberry juice to fend off any possible infections.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Nobile; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><b>Belly Button in or out?</b> In<br /><b>Wedding rings on or off?</b> Off :( I feel naked.</span><br />
<b style="color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Nobile; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Happy or Moody most of the time:</b><span style="color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Nobile; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><b> </b><span style="background-color: white;">Happy and excited...mostly!! Sometimes I get nervous and wonder how we're going to pull this off!</span></span><br />
<b style="color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Nobile; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Looking forward to: </b><span style="color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Nobile; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Decorating their room, feeling them move more often, getting a bigger belly.</span><br />
<span style="color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Nobile; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Nobile; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">And here are some pictures from this week!</span></span><br />

This place was a MUCH better experience than the last place we went. I feel so much less stressed out now that we have a doctor whom I am comfortable with. I didn't even realize I <i>was</i> stressed about it! The place was SO clean and they had cups with lids and a little cubby to leave it in the bathroom so I didn't have to traipse around with a cup of pee! And the nurses were incredibly nice. One had never seen twins so she asked if she could stay for the ultrasound so she could see them, haha! She was totally adorable!<br />
<br />
The girls are still doing great, the are growing and truly look like babies now with long legs and their bodies are starting to catch up to their giant heads now! I love seeing them wiggle around on the ultrasounds :D It seems like I can only manage to get one good shot of one baby each time we go. They never hold still for a double shot and I can almost never get a clear shot of both of them separately either! Here they are:<br />

My belly has finally popped. My hubby and my mom say it's been noticeable for a while but I still think I just look fat. Hahaha! But non of my regular clothes fit any longer, except for some stretch dresses or overly large shirts.<br />

<br />
I have also started going into the office twice a week now. It's always nice to get out of the house for a few hours but I do like working from home, it's just much easier to eat and rest when needed. When I'm at work I tend to forget I'm pregnant and walk too fast and yesterday I noticed I almost hit my belly a few times on things while walking around (I guess it really is growing!)<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>How far along? </b>14w5d</span><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Maternity clothes? </b>Yep! I suppose I don't HAVE to be but they are the most comfortable!!</span><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Stretch marks? </b>No new ones.</span><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Sleep? </b>Horrible! This week has been just awful for sleep, I wake up several times and cannot fall back to sleep to save my life. So I'm usually up for some time in the night and then sleep from early morning until about 10am. </span><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Best moments of the week? </b>We picked their first names and are still deciding on their middle names! Oh and I found this App called Blinkbuggy (not currently available on Android I hear). It's a cool, free app that let's you kind of journal about your pregnancy and whenever you decide you can print it all out in a book (for a fee). I think it's brilliant! check it out. Finding playlists on Spotify for the "top 100 of ..." for all kinds of decades. Haha, I love it. </span><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Miss anything? </b>Being able to eat anything. Not like I don't like the restrictions during pregnancy but I still have a hard time eating food willingly. Sleeping well! I miss seeing my little girls. Only 10 days until my next appointment!</span><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Movement? </b>I want to say yes. I have some little jiggles going on and it's so hard for me to describe what it feels like. It's just a different feeling and it's infrequent and barely noticeable. So I might be crazy. But I can't wait until I KNOW they are moving!</span><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Food cravings? </b>No. I hate food. </span><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Genders? </b>Two sweet little girls!! </span><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Labor signs? </b>No way!</span><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Symptoms? </b>Lack of appetite, or starving, feeling like I need tons and tons of water, headaches, stiff neck, nausea, occasional vomiting, difficulty sleeping, round ligament pain, mood swings, peeing a lot still, boob changes, belly popping out, fatigue, shortness of breath when doing simple tasks, my sense of smell is intense. I think that's all! Lol</span><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Belly button: in or out? </b>Way in.</span><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Wedding rings: on or off? </b>They still fit but are pretty snug so I don't wear them very often. </span><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Happy or moody most of the time? </b>I would say happy most of the time.</span><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Looking forward to? </b>My family baby shower in Utah! We are going that over Memorial weekend! And looking forward to my shower here in LA in July! I'm also super excited to have the nursery done though it's taking FOREVER! We have our "big" ultrasound in May and I'm pretty excited about that too. It's 1.5 hours just for the ultrasound! I hope everything goes perfectly :)</span><br />

<br />
Well, I have been trying to find a new OB since graduating from the Fertility Clinic. I can't believe I didn't start this so much earlier, I like to have things planned out, it's just unlike me to have something as massive as finding an OB left to the last minute. Silly me.<br />
<br />
I scheduled at appointment with one doctor and saw him on Monday. I HATED him. I don't say that lightly. They place was more like a free clinic than an Obstetrician's office. It was dirty, they had me pee in a dixie cup. No lid, no place to set it once done, nothing. I had to walk through the office carrying my uncovered cup of pee so they could do a pregnancy test...um hello...I have my records and told you I'm at the very end of my first trimester with twins. Dumb. Asses. They also didn't take my blood or run any tests on me, the doctor just asked me questions about my family and the age old "Who has twins in your family???" even though we told him THREE TIMES that we did IVF.<br />
<br />
He only had one room with an ultrasound machine that was probably as old as I am. And it was at least 4 feet away from me, so I couldn't see anything very clearly. They only reason I know the girls are still alive is because for the 15 seconds he did the ultrasound, I saw them both move. He didn't check their heartbeats or measure them. The one thing he did say was that "this one's more active." We didn't even get a picture printed out. OMG, I wanted to punch him. I was so hoping for a good experience, I just want a doctor already. Waaaaaaah!!!<br />
<br />
So, obviously I won't be seeing him again. I have an appointment with another guy next week. He sounds pretty promising so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!<br />
<br />
On the other hand, we have already started in the nursery! We are cleaning it out and are going to replace the carpet with hardwood floors so that'll take a few weeks. We have 2 cribs! We bought one on Craigslist for $80 and got the other and a dresser free from a friend! Score. My hubby is busy painting them on the weekends and they should be ready in 2 weeks. Though I doubt the floors will ready in the room so I won't get to start decorating for another month probably.<br />
<br />
Of course, anytime we go shopping I have to buy something for the babies. I got these seriously ADORABLE onesies at Target last weekend. <br />

<br />
I have had a few dreams about them recently. The first one was really bizarre and surreal, the second one was more realistic. I am growing more and more attached to them and I can't wait until I can feel them dancing around!<br />
<br />
<strong style="color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Nobile; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">How far along?</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Nobile; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> 12 weeks 4 days</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Nobile; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><b>Maternity clothes?</b> Not totally. I've bought a few shirts and a dress. Mostly I just wear stretch pants and a t-shirt since I am still working from home.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Nobile; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><b>Stretch marks?</b> Nope</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Nobile; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><strong>Sleep: </strong>This changes a lot. Recently I've been sleeping pretty good, with the exception of having to get up to pee a minimum of 3 times a night. Since I've been working at home I can sleep until I'm fully rested, which is usually 9:30-10am. I'm spoiled, I know. <b> </b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Nobile; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><b>Best moment this week:</b> See the girls on the ultrasound, as crappy as it was, I LOVE seeing them :D</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Nobile; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><strong>Miss Anything? </strong>Doctor Kumar! haha. I really miss not being picky about food. It's getting really old by now! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Nobile; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><b>Movement:</b> Nothing yet, though sometimes I can trick myself into thinking I felt something.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Nobile; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><strong>Food cravings: </strong>Haha! I wish!!! I mean, I guess occasionally I will have a random craving. Dairy seems to make me feel the best in the morning. I hate meat. Loathe is probably a better word for it, but I think that's starting to wane now. Oh, and I love eating lemons! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Nobile; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><strong>Gender: Baby girls x 2!!</strong> Still a shocker to the both of us. I can't wait for frills and bows! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Nobile; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><strong>Labor Signs:</strong> Nope.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Nobile; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><b>Symptoms:</b> Headaches, dizziness, and random bouts of nausea here and there. Most of the time if I talk about food, I feel like I'm going to hurl. I've had cramping off and on the whole pregnancy, but particularly the last week. Which is partially why I'm dying to see this new doc! I want to make sure everything is looking okay! I get tired if I walk around a lot. I can go from happy to bitch in half a second with no warning. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Nobile; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><b>Belly Button in or out?</b> In<br /><b>Wedding rings on or off?</b> On</span><br />
<b style="color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Nobile; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Happy or Moody most of the time:</b><b style="color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Nobile; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> </b><span style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Nobile; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">I'd say happy most of the time though my husband might disagree! I have been buying things everywhere we go. I'm so happy it's 2 girls, they're closets will be full before they even arrive!</span><br />
<b style="color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Nobile; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Looking forward to: </b><span style="color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Nobile; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Decorating their room, buying clothes and fun things for them. And of course, I'm excited to meet them but I can wait until they're ready!</span><br />

Everything is still looking great, the girls are super healthy and measuring big! One of them is measuring nearly a week ahead and the other is only 2 days behind her sister. I am quite pleased :)<br />
<br />
I am going to miss Dr. Kumar and all his staff so much but I am happy to have graduated, that means good things! Dr. K made us promise to stay in touch and to bring the babies in before they turn 6 months so he can meet them. While we were in the waiting room for our appointment, 3 people graduated! My fertility office is the BOMB!!!<br />
<br />
Tomorrow I'm 11 weeks and I think I will begin the week by filling out one of those pregnancy surveys! Stay tuned... :D<br />

We had another ultrasound yesterday and the girls are so big now!! They have arms and legs and we could see their toes. The best thing ever: they were dancing around! I can't believe how effing cute it is to see those tiny little babies wiggling around. HOLY CRAP IT'S SO CUTE!!!! I've seriously watched the video like 10 times and it hasn't even been 24 hours. Love :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Oh, and I spoke way too soon about hoping the morning sickness would remain at the "only puked once" stage. I puked 3 times just yesterday. :/</div>

I'm so excited and grateful to be on this journey and can't wait for the days to come!</div>

<br />
Today I am 9 weeks and couldn't be happier. I am doing great and even on not-so-good days I am just so happy to be pregnant and that these babies are continuing to grow!<br />
<br />
<b>Symptoms:</b><br />
<br />
Tiredness has finally kicked in. I'm not exhausted all of the time but if I go out even for just an hour or two, I am ready for a nap by the time I get back home.<br />
<br />
<b>Queasiness - </b>I was doing soooooo good, only occasionally feeling gross, never puking and usually eating something would handle it immediately. The last 3 days my stomach has been a mess, I puked once, with such force that I also peed my pants. Sooooo attractive. Luckily I was at home. Alone. I start to get really queasy if I talk about food, like discussing what I want to eat or not eat will just make my stomach pinch up. Hopefully I will continue with the one vomit record!<br />
<br />
<b>Food Aversions -</b> This has been in full force pretty much since the beginning. Mexican food seems to sit the best with me. I hate chicken. Dairy is the best thing ever. I can pretty much only eat yogurt and granola or waffles and cottage cheese for breakfast. The hardest thing has been eating dinner. For some reason, maybe the time of day, I just hate eating dinner. Almost nothing sounds or tastes good and I can only eat a few bites. I am also having a difficult time getting vegetables down. I hate them all! I do my best to start with the veggies and then eat the rest of the meal and I have a veggie juice (think V8) that I drink to help.<br />
<br />
<b>Hunger - </b>This goes back and forth. Some days I am starving every moment and others, I feel like I could eat twice and be fine. But, when I start to get hungry, I'm instantly starving!<br />
<br />
<b>Sense of Smell -</b> This seems to have kicked in fairly recently (though my mother will argue that it was one of my first symptoms). In fact, the smell of the trash can is what actually prompted my first and only vomit session.<br />
<br />
<b>Sore Boobs - </b>Luckily, this has been one of the least symptoms for me. I hear it can be agony but I only have sometimes-tender nipples. My boobs are getting bigger already though....yikes.<br />
<br />
<b>Peeing -</b> I pee like it's my job. At least twice an hour, I swear. It's the least obnoxious of my symptoms though!<br />
<br />
I have had a few headaches the last 3-4 days and my cramping is very minimal, if at all these days. Thank God!<br />
<br />
<b>Doctor Update:</b><br />
<br />
Our appointment last week was awesome. Both girls are doing extremely well with a heart rate of 180bpm and they are both big! I was 8w1d and one girl measured 8w5d and the other 8w3d!<br />
<br />
Our next appointment this week will be our last with Dr. Kumar. We are officially graduating the Fertility Clinic. It's a bittersweet milestone. I truly wish Dr. K could deliver my babies, I feel very comfortable with him and he knows us so well. Not to mention I have no idea where to go from here! What hospital has the best NICU? What doctor will let me try to deliver vaginally and not default to a c-section? Will I have my own recovery room? Can my husband stay the night? Ahhhh!! So many scary decisions to make. We do have a tour for a hospital near us on Thursday...<br />
<br />
I met a woman at Ikea yesterday who had identical twins and she recommended a doctor for me and even gave us a number for her daughters' acting agency. She said people go crazy for twins and she has been able to pay for so much (Daycare, Preschool, etc) with the work they get. She was super nice and I wanted to be friends.<br />
<br />
I will update again soon, but for now, feast your eyes on these girls!<br />

Let me catch you up! I won't make you read everything to know that the ultrasound is good news! Now for story time...<br />
<br />
First, the two weeks I waited for my ultrasound was the slowest two weeks of my life. It literally feels like it must have been at least a month! I started to get nauseous when I would get hungry, but nothing too bad. Then, a few days in it started getting worse (still nothing compared to some women!) I had to make sure to eat some crackers before getting out of bed and I also had apple juice packs by my bed to have in the morning as well. Doing this seemed to help a lot.<br />
<br />
On a Wednesday night I went for a very short walk with my husband and started getting cramps, I thought I might just have to go to the bathroom so I went to do that and the cramping felt worse. More like a burning and I had some brown spotting. It was hardly any blood, but of course I got totally freaked out. I was dizzy and pale and had a good amount of sweat on my brow. I thought for sure I must be miscarrying again. I had some sharp cramps throughout the night but no more bleeding and I felt okay the next day. I pretty much laid on the couch for the next 3 days to make sure I was doing everything I could to keep the baby there! A week passed and everything seemed normal, still queasy, still peeing a lot and no more bleeding.<br />
<br />
About a week later I went out to lunch with a friend who was in town from Italy and about an hour into the meeting I started getting some sharp cramps. These felt totally different and I really thought something was wrong so I told my hubby we had to leave. It was about a 30 minute drive home, at which point I ran to the bathroom and there was bright pink blood. And a little stringy tissue looking thing. I really started freaking out, this was it for sure. But it was never a flow, it was just there when I wiped and only lasted maybe half an hour. I decided not to go into the doctor's office since my ultrasound was only a few days away and even if there was something wrong, they wouldn't be able to do anything for me.<br />
<br />
The next few days went by without any bleeding and everything seemed normal but I was still very, very nervous for my ultrasound.<br />
<br />
I had my ultrasound yesterday. I had been announcing that it was on Friday so that I could surprise my mom since there is so little opportunity to do this when going through IVF! See the video at the end for her reaction :)<br />

<br />
Things seem to still be going good with the babe(s), our ultrasound is now only 11 days away, I can hardly wait.<br />
<br />
I haven't had a whole lot of symptoms, but here are the few that have occurred:<br />
<br />
Still some light cramping here and there. But I have been taking these Chinese pills that my sister recommended (Bao Chan Wu You Fang), right after I started taking them I noticed that the cramping seriously eased up. I wasn't even having bad cramps, occasionally one would be pretty painful, but they were few and far between. Now, I have almost no cramps nearly 100% of the time. Also, I seem to have a lot more energy than last pregnancy. I definitely get tired if I walk around for an extended time and I'm usually ready for bed around 8pm, but I'm not exhausted and I haven't had to take a nap but once this time.<br />
<br />
Still hungry about every 4 hours.<br />
<br />
I am usually a little bit nauseous in the morning, and when I get hungry. I haven't puked yet though!<br />
<br />
Still gassy.<br />
<br />
I read on one of my boards that a girl POAS everyday to make sure the line gets darker and stays dark. I thought that was an interesting idea so I did that this morning and my line is definitely darker than last week's and it showed up immediately. It's now darker than the "not pregnant" line (if only one line was there...)<br />
<br />
I'm definitely starting to get more excited and less nervous and I'm dying to tell everybody I know that I am pregnant but we are still going to wait until mid-March. Though, maybe I will tell some family before then!<br />
<br />

It more than doubled! My nurse says I'm an over-achiever, haha! All the nurses and my doctor are betting it's twins! Our first ultrasound is on the 21st of February, it feels soooo very far away!<br />

A test magically appeared right in the front of the cabinet!!!! Seriously, I had looked through everything like 3 times and now one peaks out from behind my hairspray bottle...<br>
<br>
I look over the package and see that the expiration date is January 2014, I decide to use it anyway, after all it was the last day in January so it was still good...right? With my heart pumping I do the pee on a stick dance and wait about two minutes. No second line. In the trash goes the test, along with my optimism. I was definitely bummed (obviously) but I kept telling myself it was because the test expired so it wasn't working properly. So I hopped on Google to see what people are saying about expired tests and I find that really, mine should have been good still. Next, I go to the website where I bought the <a href="http://www.early-pregnancy-tests.com/pregnancytests.html?gclid=CK_I6pySsbwCFU5cfgod2y4AKA" target="_blank">tests</a> and after reading a bit I see that it says that you will see results in 5 minutes!! 5!!! Well, I only waited maybe 2 minutes....back to the trash I go! I dig out the test strip and there's a second line!! I am pregnant!!!! Then I got a new test that night and it also came out positive!!<br>
<br>
Today was my blood test and the doc's office, which also came back positive.<br>
<br>
BETA #1 - 467<br>
<br>
BETA #2 will be done on Wednesday!<br>
<br>
So I remain cautiously optimistic that this pregnancy will stick! I'm not really going to announce to my extended family and friends until March or April, just to ensure nothing goes wrong.<br>
<br>
Symptoms I've had the last 10 days:<br>
<br>
Peeing a TON! I didn't really think that that was supposed to start until later in the pregnancy but it's definitely happening! I get up a minimum of 3 times a night.<br>
<br>
Slightly upset stomach when I get hungry and when I go to bed. Again, I thought that was a few weeks later in the pregnancy.<br>
<br>
Hungry every 3-4 hours.<br>
<br>
Been getting tired early in the evening, like around 7pm.<br>
<br>
I tried eating applesauce a few days ago and it tasted so SOUR to me but my mom assured me it tasted normal...<br>
<br>
Didn't get my period (DUH!)<br>
<br>
I didn't have much cramping this time until maybe 3 or 4 days ago, they have been pretty mild for the most part with a few sharp pains here and there. Oh, if I try to hold my pee in at all past the point of realizing I need to go, I get pretty bad cramps.<br>
<br>
I've been gassy (super attractive!)<br>
<br>
My temp was elevated the one time I tested it. 99.4<br>
<br>
I fluctuate from being cold to sweating from heat constantly.<br>
<br>
Just some fun things I thought I'd share!<br>
<br>
Oh, and this time around I didn't get Implantation Bleeding.<br>

Every cramp I get I assume my period is coming, every twinge I get in my belly or my side I assume it's hurting my sweet loves. Ugggghhhh!! Only 4 more days to go until the blood draw. Four long and torturous days.<br />
<br />
I do a lot better when I have company. My husband has worked half days for the last couple days which has been a blessing. But I'm afraid today and tomorrow I'm all on my own. I have been toying with the idea of taking a home pregnancy test but I'm scared to. What if it's negative but it's really a positive and then I convince myself I'm not pregnant. Or what if it's really a negative. Oy vei. Making babies is a stressful business.<br />
<br />
Any of you our there take a PT at home before your blood draw? Did you get a positive? How early did you test? Any info would be helpful! :)<br />

We had the transfer done last afternoon and everything went very well. My bladder was pretty full this time around and it made my uterus difficult to see on the machine so doc switched to a metal tipped (I think I'm remembering that correctly) syringe thing to make it more visible. Sounds simple enough but it took a minute for him to get it from the embryologist so I was just sitting there with my goods bared for everyone. Not my finest moment .<br>

I must admit, I was super nervous all day! I woke up at 5am (uuuggggh!!!) and couldn't fall back to sleep for the life of me. I decided to get up and lounge around, I played God of War II (that's my 14 year old boy shining through) for a few hours, then caught up on Grey's Anatomy (OMG, Jackson!!!) and watched an episode of Ellen featuring Mark Wahlberg (my secret lover) and Taylor Kitsch. Finally, it was time to get off my butt and shower!<br>
<br>
The embryologist was so sweet!! When she came in to bring us a picture of our embies she said they were perfect. Also she said she remembered that last time we transferred two perfect ones, she looked a little puzzled. I told her that I just miscarried them and she have me a big hug! Hahaha! I love my doctor office, they are like my family. :)<br>

I'm feeling much better this time than the last transfer. I don't have a whole lot of cramping (almost none, actually) whereas last time I was cramping a lot from day one. I don't know that one has to do with the other, but I'm keeping positive.<br>
<br>
We go back for a blood test to check my estrogen and progesterone levels on Wednesday and the pregnancy test will be done on the 3rd of February!! Keep me in your thoughts, please! :D<br>
<br>
Now, I'm going to return to lazing around and watching Dexter.<br>

I was so excited to start it this time around. It's just one step closer to getting the prize out of all this poking and prodding I've had the last few years. I am even more excited than last time around and even more certain. I contribute my confidence to knowing exactly how the procedure goes this time around. I know what to expect, and I am READY!!!<br />
