Hi Ladies! I'm so excited I can't think of anything else. We went for our first u/s this afternoon. I was just hoping for it to be in the right place and have a nice heartbeat, but - twins! Two beautiful beans, two gorgeous heartbeats, we got to hear them as well - I cried like a baby myself. I just can't even believe it! Yay!!! Doc released me to my OB and switched me to suppositories instead of shots. She says with twins I probably have waaay more progesterone in my system than I need right now anyway, and they upped my folic acid. Makes me feel guilty for the days I forgot my prenatals. Just a few, but you know, us PAIF mommas are big on guilt for some reason - gonna have to let that one go! Anyway, celebrating in our house tonight!
