10 weeks already!

We had our 10 week ultrasound visit with our RE (Reproductive Endocrinologist) this morning. I thought that after this visit I would be discharged to my OB, but no dice this time. Maud (the RE) is hanging on to me for a bit longer. I am of course seeing my OB at the same time, but Maud is refusing to fully discharge me. Oh well. More monitoring for me! No hard feelings there!

We decided to go ahead and schedule the NT screen for the babies (also called an ultrascreen). The scan is used to determine our odds for having a baby with Down's Syndrome or one of the Trisomy's. It's totally non-invasive to the babies - just blood work from me and the information gathered from the extra long ultrasound. The outcome doesn't really matter much to us as we wouldn't terminate regardless, but it's a LONG ultrasound of the babies, and any sneak peek of the kids I get I love!! Maud will be doing the scan on 4/27, so just two weeks away. I will be 12 weeks then. Still to early to determine sex, but pretty darn close to the end of the first trimester (which I can hardly wait for!).

I must say I have been pleased in the last couple of days because some of my morning sickness has started to go away! Woo hoo! I still feel pretty cruddy most of the time, but now I can eat some normal food instead of living on graham crackers! I had chicken and mashed potatoes yesterday - YUM! I was so pleased=). Today, not so great, but that's okay. Being able to eat normal food sometimes is at least a bonus=).

Okay, so that brings us to the ultrasound pictures from today! They are so much bigger than they were at 8 weeks and they are starting to look like babies! YAY! We have another ultrasound tomorrow with my OB, but unless the pictures are better than these I probably won't post them. Enjoy!!

  2. Wow, your so close to the 2nd trimester! You will feel so much better by then. My fav time to be preg was like months 4.5 thru 7. I felt so good during those months! Course that was 1 baby so I don’t know if it’s the same with 2.
    Your scan is coming up quickly. Will you ask them to do an anatomy scan at that point, if they can see anything? Sometimes they can, 12 weeks is early but maybe???
    Guess we need another belly shot too - any bigger? Im wearing a shirt that looks like a smock today, lol. Its either clothes that are huge or clothes that are too tight at this point. No happy medium in the 1st tri!
