Still two!

Here are today's pictures:





Today is technically 7w1d by ovulation. And there are real dudes in there with real heartbeats. That's exciting, but they're measuring small. Baby A is measuring 6w3d and Baby B is measuring 6w4d. I'm trying not to be concerned about that, or about the spotting I've had this morning.

My RE said goodbye to me today. Now I get no more news until the middle of December when I meet the new midwives.

Good times!

Whew. I've been waiting all morning for this update.

2 and more impt. you are going to see a midwife next. No more RE. It's real. It's really real, you're knocked up.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

It's true!

But it is SO WEIRD to think that I won't have a doctor's appointment for a whole month!

[wendywoowho.livejournal.com]

Goodness gracious, you're on the nest! :)

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

BOCK BOCK!

[artemis44.livejournal.com]

That is so exciting!

Which midwife service are you using? Will you be delivering at Cooley Dick in NoHo? I hear Holyoke has a surprisingly good maternity floor as well... or perhaps you're going non-hospital altogether?

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I went with Pioneer Women's Health in Greenfield at the recommendation of some friends of friends. They deliver in a small hospital up Greenfield way, which seems a little nicer to me than one of the big hospitals.

(I am way too chicken to do non-hospital, esp with twins.)

Yippee!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Double the fun!

Don't worry about being 2 or 3 days off based on ovulation. If you let every little thing eat at you, you'll lose your mind by the time the first trimester is over. And a little spotting is really common in the first trimester, more than you'd think.

I hate that the house stuff is so stressful for you in a time that should be more wonderful and snuggly for you before you start puking a lot.

And I'm telling you now when you start puking ask for Zofran. it's a miracle.

I am less worried about the measuring (esp since they are measuring together) than I am about the spotting. And I know lots of people have spotting, but it doesn't make it any less scary, moreso because this is my first time spotting. Yuck. I hate spotting.

And yes, it DOES suck that right now it's all about house and not about pampering ME! :)

[luloubelle.livejournal.com]

Yes, spotting is common. My best friend didn't spot at all with the two miscarrages, but the third time when she did have spotting, it turned into a beautiful baby boy.

There are two babies in there! yyaaaaaaaay!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

You know, it doesn't matter how many people spot and are fine or whatever, it's still scary.

I hate that.

[angelhsent.livejournal.com]

don't worry to much about spotting it is ok I had spotting with all my pregnancies. Yay I am way too excited that their are two babies in there

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I know lots of people spot, but it is still scary. I just want it to go away, dang it!

I am kind of excited about two babies but mostly freaked out.

[rainbow-slinky.livejournal.com]

Yay lil dudes!!!!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Aren't they cute?

[sassywoman.livejournal.com]

YEA!!!!!! I've been waiting for this update as well.
Don't worry about them measuring behind. My baby measured behind for a while and now she's right on track. In fact, the doctor said it's common to be off when you're early in the game. I think it all depends on when they implanted etc...

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm not too worried about the measuring, especially because they are measuring together. And I know that the ultrasound machines are not an exact science.

It's just so crazy... you try and try and try and SO MUCH is built up in it!

[sassywoman.livejournal.com]

Oh, and about the spotting. I had it all the way until 10 weeks. In fact, I had a "bleeding" episode at 9 weeks and thought it was all over with. When you use fertility drugs your lining is "juiced up" as my OB put it and you will have pockets of fluid in there that will work themselves out through spotting.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Spotting is the thing that REALLY scares me, even though lots of people have had spotting. It is so disconcerting! I have had NO spotting before today so it totally caught me off guard.

I know that your lining gets REALLY thick for IVF but my lining at my IUI wasn't all that thick (8.5mm) since I triggered on CD10.

I just want everything to be okay and it's weird to not have a doctor's appointment for another month!

[happy2beso.livejournal.com]

So amazing that they can see heartbeats already! Crazy.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I know, it really is wild. If someone wasn't telling me what it was, I would have had no idea. It was like static.

[anitsirk.livejournal.com]

suppose they're both girls???

congrats!

i have heard great things about cooley dickinson!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

How can they both be girls when you already told me I was a penis in the making??!? =P

I'm not delivering at Cooley-Dick. I'll be up in Greenfield.

[meglett.livejournal.com]

yeah for continued good news!!!!!!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Just make the spotting go away, okay? Thanks.

[tea-soaked.livejournal.com]

Yay! 2 heartbeats! Stop worrying. Relax. Enjoy!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I will stop worrying when I stop spotting. I'm sure you can understand that.

But seeing those heartbeats was awfully cute.

[everyday-fire.livejournal.com]

WOWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been following this storyline for the longest time now and I'm SO EXCITED to be looking at the ultrasound pictures today!!! And not only one, but twoooooo amazing little shadows... CONGRATS, JUDE AND JEN!!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much. It's all a bit overwhelming! :)

[indigodove.livejournal.com]

Yaay! Glad to see they are still growing along.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

They certainly are. Little buggers. :)

[eeka13.livejournal.com]

They're cute!

Oh, Molly and I named them for you guys. :o)

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I am so scared to ask.

[glowbug3355.livejournal.com]

I am so excited for you!!! You are going to be the best mommy! YAY!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I sure hope you're right. :)

[ladyoracle.livejournal.com]
