2nd Ultrasound

Dr. Pfeifer is taking great care of us. She had us come back a week after our first ultrasound to have another one just to make sure everything is going well. This appointment just happened to be on Christmas Eve. We both were off of work, but we had to be there really early. Our first day of vacation and we had to get up earlier than an normal work day.

As in the case most time, when we got to the appointment we didn't have to wait a long time. We went back to the exam room and in came Stephanie. She told us last time that she too had twins. She started the ultrasound and everything looked great. We were able to see the tiny heartbeats and she was able to get the rates of both babies. Twin A had a heartbeat of 128 and Twin B had a heartbeat of 128. We are going back in two weeks just to make sure all is well.

TWINS!!!

Well today we went in for our first Ultrasound. Our appointment was scheduled for 9:30 am. We arrived at the doctor's office and were pretty much taken right away. Stephanie came in and started the ultrasound. It took her all of one minute to say...Your having TWINS!!! Tracy and I were stunned to say the least. We knew it was a possibility. I had perma-grin on my face the rest of the day.

It's early, 6 weeks, and we know that there are risks this early, but we are praying for the best.

Unfortunately we had to leave and go to our jobs. We both called our mothers on our way to work. Both mothers were shocked. My mother started to cry right away. She was so happy for us. Tracy's mother was just as excited. We know that both are going to be a big help those first couple of weeks.

Here is a photo of the twins at 6 weeks.

The Human Pin Cushion

Tracy is becoming a human pin cushion. I have to give her Progesterone injections every night. I feel so bad for her. I know this must be painful for her. I am trying to be as gentle as I can be, but hey, it's a shot and it has to hurt.

We're expecting

Tracy had a blood test today and we got a call around 4:30 letting us know that she is pregnant!!! We both are so excited. She has to go back in to get another blood test to make sure that her hormone levels are continuing to rise.
