Pregnant after IF

Finally we are able to get excited!!!!

Just need to brag for a minute because no one really knows all the details in person and I'm bursting not yelling it from the rooftops.

We've struggled for years with infertility and losses and have been cautiously optimistic about this pregnancy every step of the way.

Well, today we had our final appt with our specialist and "graduated" to a regular ob with an appt next week. It is such an amazing feeling! We got to see Olaf and Sven (bean nicknames, not real names) bouncing around, kicking and waving. They look like tiny humans! They measured perfect again with great heartbeats. We were told to relax and that basically our chances are as good now as they ever will be. She even gave us the green light for us to do our announcement shoot this week and announce this weekend at 12w.

I got very teary eyed leaving the appt with all of the nurses and staff saying goodbye with hugs and asking us to come visit often. They even gave us a gift of 2 stuffed monkeys and 2 hand knit baby hats. It was a bitter sweet goodbye. 

Now I'm excited to make some projects to announce to the immediate family that know we're pregnant but don't know it's twins. I'm literally on cloud 9!

    You've got to be going nuts with 3 beans growing!
    And yes, worrying less is amazing! My mouth hurts from smiling so much today. I always knew there was a light at the end of the tunnel but it's finally come into full view.

  • Congratulations!!! That is wonderful news !!! I love your nicknames too .. So cute! Congrats again for such amazing news!
  • @marnief, we have our announcement photo op on Monday but we've decided to tell his parents and grandparents, who know we're pregnant (thanks to fertility struggles) but don't know there are twins, a different way. We are making the rounds Friday and will give them each the oven with chocolate inside to see who can figure it out that there are two.
    And Saturday morning, we are doing breakfast with my close aunts and uncles who are suspicious we are expecting but don't know for sure. So we will confirm, I will take off my coat and reveal a shirt with this movie poster on it and see how long it takes them.
    Very excited for have some tricks up our sleeves!
