Pregnant after IF

I graduated!

I had another u/s today and I graduated from the RE.  I NEVER thought I'd see this day.  Babies are doing pretty good.  Baby A is measuring 8 weeks with a hb of 176.  Baby B is measuring 7w4d with a hb of 168.  My RE was optimistic that things would continue to progress well.

I definitely don't feel like it is real and am still nervous, but I get that this is how it is after IF.  

My first appointment with my OB isn't for 3 weeks!  It will be so strange waiting that long between appointments.  I was spoiled with my RE.

(Small AW:)  Today is my bday and I cannot think of a better present!
