Ba-boom Ba-boom

My six week scan went well- we saw two beating hearts. It was the sweetest thing I have ever seen :)

I wasn't expecting it at all, I thought heartbeats weren't visible until seven weeks. But even before my doctor pointed them out I could see them both flickering on the screen.

My next scan is in one week, hopefully the mice's measurements can be taken then and their heartbeats will be nice and strong too. FS wouldn't measure them today, he said "They are either there or they're not at this stage".

He also said: "No rooting", and "Here's a prescription for Zofron. Soon you'll be throwing up like a big, black Alsation."

Charming.

When I got to work I walked into the ladies room, shut the door and had a little cry. I've cried in there so many times over NOT having a baby but this is the first time I have cried out of sheer relief and gratitude.

I am so very grateful for these teensy miracles.

I don't know how long I'll have them for, I know all the risks that go along with being pregnant and even more so being pregnant with twins, but after three cycles of IVF, two cycles of PGD, one very sad loss and so many nights lying awake wondering what I ever did to deserve such pathetic reproductive organs, I am just so grateful that I have a shot at this. So grateful that I have these little ones growing inside me.

Our three hearts are beating together today and that makes it the best day of my life so far.
