Graduation...

We've officially graduated from our Dr in Charlottesville and had our first OB appointment in Lynchburg on Wednesday! After several bad experiences with local doctors, I was very apprehensive about returning to Lynchburg for prenatal care. Upon the recommendation of our fertility Dr we picked a local OB. I thought our appointment went very well. We liked the new Dr a lot. Turns out he went to school with our fertility Dr. which made me feel even more confident. I had my fourth ultrasound, and at 3.2 cm the baby had almost doubled in size from our ultrasound just ten days before. The baby was very active and wiggly, I can't wait to be able to feel these tiny movements. We also heard the heartbeat for the first time, it was very loud and about 160 bpm. This will be our last ultrasound for three months.

Troy has decided he does not want to know whether it is a boy or a girl and that is ok with me so we will wait to find out in December.

Now that we are no longer "waiting for 2 pink lines" I will be looking for a new home for our blog and I hope to post about where that will be. I can't thank you all enough for all the prayers that got us to where we are. We truly know this is a blessing and a miracle of God.

And then there was one...

I had some very minor spotting a few evenings, I wasn't worried about it at all, but I called our nurse on Tuesday just to hear her say it was nothing, but instead she asked me to come in. So I had an ultrasound Wednesday afternoon and we learned we lost one of the twins. The other one is just fine. Our Dr was very pleased with its development, in fact he assured us that we have a 90-95% chance that everything will be fine (nothing is ever guaranteed).

Because our new OB won't see us until the 27th our current Dr offered to let us to come back once more, mostly for peace of mind and we took him up on it. We have another ultrasound on the 18th.

Twins!

Well as most of you know our final beta test came in at an amazing 3026. God truly answered our prayers. We went for our first ultrasound on Friday and we saw not one, but two tiny heartbeats. Yep, we are having twins. On Friday they measured a healthy 4mm and 5mm. We go back to Charlottesville on the 14th for our final ultrasound and then we graduate to an OB! I will be seven weeks on Monday. Twins are considered full term at 37 weeks so I am due on November 28.
