Remember that ultrasound?

I can't believe it's taken me so long to write this post.  Between Christmas and a long stretch of night shifts, I haven't had time to do anything Blogger-related.  I've got a lot of catching up to do!

We went to Houston last Tuesday for my 6w2d scan, and the ultrasound looked a little like this:


Actually, it looked a lot like that, since it's a crappy iPhone picture of the actual ultrasound picture.  We're having twins.  Baby A was measuring 6w2d with a heartrate of 110 and Baby B measured 6w1d with a heartrate of 112.  Everything looks perfect for this stage.  Hearing our babies' hearts beating was such an overwhelmingly emotional experience.  We've never had a normal heartrate on ultrasound, so while other pregnancies may have technically lasted longer, this one is already more successful than any of them.  We've got a lot of hurdles to cross before we get to the finish line, but I just have a feeling that this is IT!  Thanks again for all of your prayers-  we need them now more than ever!
