Thanks everyone!! We are really excited. So amazing to see the little guys - really made it feel real. Hard to go do boring work stuff after getting such an amazing news!!
Also the Zofran is a godsend. Thank you @Curlylocks3 for the heads up with the zofran constipation. Most recently been having diarrhea (sorry if TMI) so maybe this will help. I will hit my water bottle hard. I'm finding that lemon water also helps with the nausea.
