Houston, We have heartbeats!!!!

You read that right. That was a plural. There were two. There ARE two. 

Oh my God, I'm having twins. Though, I always catch myself - I might have twins. This damn miscarriage has really scarred me. I almost feel like I can't be happy because "you just don't know."
But today I am relieved to see heartbeats for both babies. Everything measured great and I'll give the stats below with my 1st picture.

I prayed hard last night. Out loud with both hands on my belly.
"Lord, please take this anxiety away from me. I thank you for everything, I have never been more grateful than I am now. I have a great job with awesome benefits. I am going to one of the best clinics in the Mid-Atlantic region. I have such great resources. And that's all thanks to you. You are all deserving. The only thing I can pray tonight Lord, is that your will be done. I can pray all night long that there's a baby in there and that its alive. But I only pray that your will be done. Amen."

I feel asleep like a champ, but woke up early. Seems my dogs like to steal the blankets and then wake up early to the sounds my cats make. Awesome.

I didn't have to much anxiety in the morning. I just kept breathing, and leaning on the Lord. Lord you got this. But I have prepared myself for either outcome.

Almost as soon as we checked in, we were ushered into the sonogram room. I sat on the table with my eyes closed and just repeated to myself and the Lord - Lord you will be done, Lord your will be done.
I was bracing myself for a loss. When I saw the screen I thought they were looking at my ovary's 1st, the doctor was counting out loud, ".....3? ... nope... 2?  yep, I see 2?"    
WHAT!?
Yep, there's two in there. It was hard for me to not start to all out bawl my eyes out. I just kept staring at the screen. Just watching at this amazingness. They zoomed in on each baby, saw a glorious heart beat for both. Both measured great, with sacks, and poles and all that jazz.

I'm in shock, but I'm also not surprised.  My high beta's kinda led me on. Then small things, like day dreaming about twins for the last week or so. And I've been out of breath doing the most normal things, because my body is working so hard for these two babies. I even said to my friend on our walk yesterday, I was catching my breath - its probably because I'm carrying more than one. And here we are today! I told her and my other best friend.

My mind is still set on getting through each appointment. But I also don't know how much longer I'll have before I start to show. Any twin mom's out there - at what week did you start noticing the beginnings of a bump?
Our next appointment is at 8 weeks 4 days, otherwise known as Nov 25th. Presuming everything looks good, I'll be moving onto a regular OB and I'm kind of scared about that. I've been with my clinic for over a year now and I LOVE them. I LOVE my team and I absolutely love my doctor.

So here we go:

6 weeks 3 days

Baby A:

CRL Calculated Gest Age: 6.1

Gest Sac Calculated Gest Age: 5.6

Yolk Sac: 2.5

FHR: 122

Baby B:

CRL Calculated Gest Age: 6.4

Gest Sac Calculated Gest Age: 6.3

Yolk Sac: 2.7

FHR: 117

Now I just need to think of some cute nick names for these little ones.
