Both babies are doing well. One measured 11 weeks & was 1.5 inches long. The other measured 11w1d and was 1.6 inches long.
It is torture going so long without seeing them. I was spoiled at the fertility doctor getting to see them every week. I know that I have already seen them more than most people do in their entire pregnancy so I should be happy. It's just such a relief to see the heartbeat and know everything is okay. Now I understand why Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes supposedly bought an ultrasound machine for their house. I would totally do that and check in on them every day if I could!
I did buy a doppler to listen for heartbeats. I can't really hear anything right now but the doppler picks something up and gives me a heartrate. I have no idea if it is accurate or not. Especially since I don't hear anything. It's still kind of early too so I'm not worrying about it. I am hoping that it works well by the time I meet up with J in Florida so he can hear them. And later in the pregnancy it will definitely be a good way to not worry so much about them if I can hear the heartbeats. I hope it works eventually.
I haven't been doing much lately. I am tired and nauseous all the time so after work I either lay on the couch watching television or I sleep. I'm so lazy! I have no energy to do anything - so I apologize for this blog being so lame and quiet. I appreciate those of you who still check in!
It's almost 10:00 pm and I need to send J an email before bed. I will leave you with a couple of pictures from today. She gave me 4 photos. 2 of them are of both babies together but I think it is a shot that either shows the top of their heads of their bottoms because it is just circles - not very exciting. The other 2 photos she gave me are of the same shot. I think she was trying to give me a photo of each baby but ended up doing the same one twice. Oh well. That one is my favorite because it almost resembles a human (...sort of) and not just a circle!
I have to admit, i check your blog every day hoping for an update. I was pleasantly surprised today...finally! lol I'm glad you're doing well and i hope that nausea goes away in the next couple weeks (don't let the 12 week mark fool you...mine lasted an extra couple weeks past that and i was not prepared for that!). Once you start feeling kicks, it will be super reassuring and you probably won't rely so much on the doppler. I hope that you find time to blog more often....i think about you a lot and live for these updates...haha. And once you start really showing, i hope you take belly pics!!
