Ultrasound And Good News!

Well, we had our 8w5d ultrasound today...or so we thought.

While the ultrasound tech was getting a good look at our littlins, she asked how far along I was.

Turns out, we were a week off!

Instead of being 8w5d, I'm 9w5d!!!!!

BOO-YAH

How awesome is that? I'm almost at 10 weeks, which explains the growing belly (pics coming on Wednesday) AND the sudden decrease in nausea I've been experiencing over the past 3 days (knock on wood).

It ALSO means that in 2 weeks and 2 days, I'll be in my second trimester.

Holy Crap! That's FANTASTIC (uhhh, where did the time go?!?)!

The ultrasound itself was also very cool. The twins are right on track, and now they're bopping around and waving their arms and legs. I can't feel the movement yet, but they sure hamed it up for the ultrasound.

These pics aren't the best of what we saw, but whatever. It'll do:

Here's the first pic of them together. Doesn't look like much, but trust me, it's A LOT.

Here's baby #1 (I know...its a pic only a mother could love):

And here's baby #2...looking very...uh...creepy: It's amazing to think that a few weeks ago, these babies were just little sacks of cells, and now they have arms and legs and organs and muscles. Their hearts are pumping. They're breathing. They're moving. I know I've said it before, but the miracle of life is really just that...a miracle. Unfortunately, these little miracles are making me hungry as hell and exhausted to boot. Time to eat a sandwich and take a nap...again!
