We had our first OB appointment Wednesday (yesterday). We were pleasantly surprised to have another ultrasound! The ultrasound tech spent a lot of time with us and we got to hear the babies heartbeat for the first time. It was amazing. There is nothing in this world like hearing your babies' heart beat for the first time. We are in awe of the whole thing. Baby A's heart rate was 154 and Baby B's heart rate was 158. Both babies measured 7 weeks and 3 days...exactly what they should. They are both doing very well.
Off to see the doctor: We began our visit with the doctor by her asking lots of questions. Then, she announced that because of my age (38 years old) that I was considered a high risk pregnancy. When I mentioned that we were also having twins she said high risk times two. lol The more we discussed our options, the more Chad and I decided that it would be in our (and the babies) best interest to go to the high risk doctor. The hospital where my regular OB/GYN delivers does not have a NICU. So, our appointment had an abrupt ending and we were referred to the high risk doctor. Our appointment is in a couple of weeks on March 13th. We will be delivering at University of Tennessee Medical Center.
All is still well with us. I'm still crabby with Chad for no apparent reason. Poor guy! He's being such a trooper. I love him so much for being so understanding. Nausea comes in waves most of the day and heartburn lurks around several times a day. But, absolutely no complaints here. We are so happy and humbled to experience these two new lives growing inside me. We are blessed beyond belief. We couldn't have asked for more. Our friends and families have been so supportive with kind words and well wishes. We couldn't have gotten this far without your prayers, love and support. We are forever grateful.
