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!
Re: I graduated!
hooray! and congrats

i know, all the RE appointments have spoiled me for sure!!
