We're Pregnant!!

In my previous post I mentioned that we were scheduled to do a frozen transfer on August 5th.  Well I ovulated which made us have to start over.  It was a good thing though.  Heavenly Father knew I couldn't handle Sadie's surgery and have to stay in bed with the transfer. 

So once we started over again our new date was September 2, 2011.  My good friend Emi (my lifesaver) watched Sadie for us for a couple of days and Steve and I headed down to Thousand Oaks for the procedure.

Here are the two embryos they transferred.

Here we are in the Hotel after the procedure. I told Steve I wanted to document it.  We stayed in the hotel for two nights and then went home.  Steve had the whole next week off work so he got to entertain Sadie.  They went to Griffith Park and rode the ponies (Sadie not Steve) and went to Disneyland two days. 

We had our blood test and they came back positive.  I spoke with my doctor and he's response was pregnant with one possibly two.  WHAT?! 

So we went down on the 27th of September for our first peek.  Well sure enough there were two.  The problem was one of the babies was really smaller.  So our Doctor said don't get your hopes up.  Plan on one baby.  So he didn't give us an ultrasound picture with the second baby in it.  No problem it's still early (even though we could see the heartbeat)

Ultrasound - 6 weeks 5 days

We went down on the 7th of October for another ultrasound and sure enough the second baby had more than doubled in size and had a strong heart beat.  But our doctor was still very cautious and didn't want to say definitely twins yet.  But you can see the second baby kind of in this ultrasound picture.  Our Doctor was very surprised it was still there.

Ultrasound - 8 weeks

So on the 19th of October (our last visit with our fertility doctor) we went down for another ultrasound and sure enough the second baby had caught up to the 1st baby. The only concern was the sack wasn't as big as the other baby but the heartbeats matched and the babies measured within 3 days of each other.  So our doctor was happy to say yes you are pregnant with twins.

Ultrasound - 9 weeks 6 days

So it's official...we are pregnant with twins!!  Our due date is May 20th 2012.

We are super excited and none more than Sadie.  She is ready to have her babies here and can't wait to be the best big sister ever!!
