L-O-N-G Week!

I apologize for the lack of blogging in the past week. I woke up Wednesday morning to a toilet full of red blood. I called my nurse and they brought me in a day early for my ultrasound. Again, both babes looked wonderful and as perfect as could be, and measured 7w exactly. I received my bloodwork back in the afternoon and my hcg level is now 107,030 and my progesterone was 58... so, something is going right! Those two little ones have this figured out, I hope! But, my RE requires 72 hrs of bedrest for every one day of red blood, so, I was a prisoner to my bed from Wednesday-Saturday morning. I actually set up my home office in my bed and was able to easily work from there. It wasn't ideal, but doable. Thank goodness for my flexible and very understanding boss :)

I took a 7week belly picture last Wednesday before I got in bed and I will upload it later. I think I am starting to show a little bit. That could be bc I had very little bloat to start with, so now it seems like I have a little bloat action. All of my clothes still fit, nothing is uncomfortable yet.

Greg's parents visited over the weekend and we were able to share our news with them on Saturday night. It took us both good while before we decided it was the "right" time to say something... in the past, when I played this moment out in my head, I thought we would just blurt it out. But, that is so not how it happened. It was a good 5 hrs after they had been here, and at least 2 hrs after we ate dinner. They were so happy to hear our news of just being pregnant and I think dually shocked to hear it is twins! So, we spent majority of the rest of the evening talking about babies, traveling with babies, life with babies, etc... babies make everyone smile!

My last RE appt is this Thursday :( and my first OB appt is next Wednesday, September 1st :) Woo!

Here I am at 7 weeks:
