AFM:
1. How many weeks are you? 11w1d
2. How are you feeling? Pretty excited to be nearing 2nd tri! Here's hoping these symptoms continue to wane. 3. Any dr. Appointments or updates? Saw the babies on Friday and it was so awesome, we'll get another peek at our first-tri screen on the 30th 4. Anything else exciting going on? We told DH's immediate family last night at family Christmas and it was so wonderful, they are all so happy for us and many tears were shared. I think the shock of twins isn't going to wear off anytime soon though! Ha!
Qotw: Favorite Christmas movie or favorite movie in general if you don't celebrate! This year we've been all about National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, have already watched it like 3x.

Hi from the hospital! 33w tmr & I'm back here w/ abnormal blood flow to baby B, causing him to have IUGR. Doppler check tmr & I'm so nervous. I hope it's not worse. I really want to get to 35w. Growth scan will be next Friday 1/2/15 & will most likely deliver within that week (if not that day)! Both babes HBs are awesome tho & baby A is growing like a champ. Time to get serious with names now I guess lol.
Love Christmas Vacation & All I want for Christmas.

10 medicated IUI's (3 with injectables).
IUI #1 (medicated) Jan. 2013-BFP!!!!- Beta's didn't double, MTX shot for possible ectopic.
8 IUI's between April 13-April 14 = BFN
IUI #10 and final before IVF, injectables May 2014- BFP!!!! TWINS!!!!
7 week ultrasound showed 2 wonderful heartbeats!
8 weeks to the ER with vaginal bleeding while on vacations! Diagnosed SubChorionic Hemorrhage. Babies are both great.
9 week ultrasound showed both babies are still great.
Had my beautiful girls on Thursday at 31+6 and they are doing great. I ended up developing severe preeclampsia and there was no other option but to deliver because my BP was rising quickly and the protein found in my urine was astronomically high. They are both on room air from birth, feeding very well and just working on getting fat and staying warm. We are definitely proud parents. Now here is a picture of DH with his pride and joy.

33w4d and starting to have a really hard time. Things have been smooth sailing for the most part until this past weekend. I started having nasty side cramps on Saturday and they continued to get worse. I saw the doctor on Monday after one of the longest nights of my life Sunday. The pain was horrendous! They ruled out appendicitis and contractions and diagnosed pulled muscles. Pulled muscles not from me doing anything, but from the babies growing so much so fast. Nine days prior I had measured 36 weeks but measured 40+ on Monday. I'd also gained 5 pounds in 9 days. He said the babies basically pulled my muscles from the inside (oversimplification, but you get it). Feeling much better with the help of some hydrocodone! I can actually sit up unattended! Yay!
I can't wait to see the babies again on Monday. I'm seriously looking more forward to that than to Christmas.
As of Saturday, I will cross a very important threshold. After Saturday, I can deliver at my hospital of choice instead of downtown with all the drunks! My hospital only sees 34+ as they don't have overnight NICU doctors, only "special care". I really want to make it to at least 36, but anything past 34 will make me happy.
