6w, 3d
Nothing but good news!!
I am feeling WAY better. Now I just have what is probably typical morning sickness - starting to gag as soon as I get hungry or think about food, tired all the time, just poop out and feel sickish if I do much. I am looking forward to vacation and I'm even ready to get up at 3am to start traveling.
Yesterday I had some more blood work as a follow up to my high white blood cell count. Haven't heard back the results of that. Also had to give a urine sample. Not sure why. Wasn't the most pleasant thing to have to do in a public bathroom stall with two little curious boys who ask LOTS of questions very loudly.
Managed to drive myself to my u/s appointment at my RE's office in the city too. I had a super nice u/s tech. I was hoping we could see the heartbeats but really wasn't expecting it. There they were! Two little flutters. Wow. Just amazing. I can't believe I have three hearts beating in me. Of course she had to zoom in and point and I mostly had to take her word that the tiny little changes in grainy black and white I was seeing were hearts beating. Then she said, "Now we are going to listen to the heartbeats." What?!?! You can actually hear those tiny little things beat?!?!? And I did! I teared up a little. Blaming that on pregnancy hormones of course. Baby A had a heart rate of 126 and she didn't tell me what Baby B's was and I forgot to ask. Bad mom. She said everything is measuring right on schedule.
So, I am released from my RE. I guess they figure once they see a heartbeat, things are planning on sticking around for a bit. The nurse gave me some cookies with a note attached congratulating me on my pregnancy. The cookies didn't survive the car ride home. Nomnomnom.
I called my brother on the way home and gave him the news. He didn't have much to say but I figured so much.
Just been trying to get things packed for vacation which is rather difficult. My body keeps telling me to take a break after a short time of getting things together but my mind knows that if we are going to be leaving remotely on time I have to pack. I've been listening to my body for once though.
