Catch Up

Wow, lots to catch up on....it's been a couple of weeks since I've updated.  Both of my appointments went well last week, and there are two perfect little embryos developing!  At 6 weeks and 6 days, Baby A was measuring on target with a heart beat of 130; Baby B was measuring at 6 weeks and 5 days with a heart beat of 120.  Perfect!  I do have a subchorionic hemorrhage which has caused some bleeding, but my body should reabsorb the blood and it shouldn't cause any issues down the road.

As far as any pregnancy symptoms, smells are still getting to me, and no food sounds or tastes good.  I can go from not being hungry to STARVING in a second, but then get full quickly.  And I could sleep all day (and practically do!).  But this phase should be over soon.

Last weekend was great - we had the Light the Night Leukemia Walk.  My nieces organized a team in memory of their mom (my sister).  We had a great turnout and they raised over $7000 for the cause.  So proud of them!

I'm 8 weeks pregnant today, and go back to the fertility doctor next week.  I have regular OB and high risk OB appointments later this month.  The high risk consult will schedule the "Big C" - for the uninitiated, that's cerclage, or a stitch in my cervix to keep it from opening early as it did during my last pregnancy.  She should also let me know more about restrictions, such as no travel, bed rest, etc.
