Bleeding

So I think I have kinda been waiting for the shoe to drop! With our last 2 journeys not ending how we had wanted we are kinda of edge! I have been letting my self get excited though lately. I can't help it! When people ask me at work I won't lie so several have found out and I believe the entire unit knows now but they are waiting for me to tell them!
So while we have been away skiing, S has been having some bleeding! She didn't call us until she was able to make it to the doctor! She is 8 weeks. The bleeding has stopped. The bleeding is more normal in twin pregnancy and we have nothing to worry about at this time! Both babies are doing great. Still with a two day difference which is fine and right as it has been. One is measuring 8 weeks 1 day and the other is 7 weeks 6 day! Their heartbeats are perfect and there is no blood in S's uterus! The doc was able to see the umbilical cords as well! Everything is perfect! God is watching over all three of them! We have so much to be thankful for! We are blessed!!

getting big

Our babies are 7 and 1/2 weeks old! They are growing perfectly. Baby A is measuring 7 weeks 6 days with a heartbeat of 159 and Baby B is measuring 7 weeks 4 days with a heartbeat of 163! they are perfect!!

We told the kids

I couldn't keep it a secrete! Kaitlyn already had an idea! We sat them down and explained that we need to pray for Stephanie's strength and the babies growth. So now if I finish a prayer and haven't asked the Lord for these two things, then Conner completes my prayer by asking our Heavenly Father for these. I LOVE it! Such a tender heart! They are beyond excited! I don't know if they believe it yet because we have told them 2 other times before and have lost those babies! Boy are they going to have a huge adjustment when these babies come!
Kaitlyn is going to come with me to the 9 week apointment. The babies will be 9 weeks the day we are there and go for an ultrasound! So exciting! I am excited for her to meet Stephanie's family! She will love all the kids!
Conner was talking with me the other day and said, "isn't it weird how Kaitlyn was the only one in your belly. I was in Promise's, Lily was in Sheila's and the twins are in Stephanie!" I love how it is no big deal to him! He knows he is ours and he is fine with it! I praise God for that!
The list above are names Conner came up with for the babies. A boy's list and a girl's list!

Heartbeats!

Our first ultrasound showed the two sacs! WE had a repeat ultrasound that friday (first was tues) we saw both babies and we could see their heart beating! The next ultrasound was on the following tues so we were able to hear the heart beats. IT was amazing! The are both measuring right on track! 6 weeks and 3 days and 6 weeks 4 days. Something like that. That day we were 6 weeks 4 days along! Next ultrasound in a week! Whoo hoo!! God is GOOD and FAITHFUL!!
Stephanie has been really nauseated! One good thing is she got to stop taking the bum shots! That was the worse part she said! So painful she couldn't go anything!! Week by week we are getting there! What a journey this has already been now with TWINS who knows what to expect! Only God and that is good enough for me!

And the results are in.............

ITs TWO!!!!!! YEPPER! TWINS
We were able to facetime during the ultrasound! It is soo nice! Stephanie has her best friend Megan go with her to the appointments! I love these two! They are so funny together and treat me as if we have all be friends since grade school! It is just fun! I can't wait to go back and visit next week!
Isn't God amazing???? I am in AWE!!!! So very excited!

Yep those are our beta numbers!! They are crazy good!! We were hoping for our first beta over 100. Then it needed to double on the second beta and double again for third beta!! People are saying it looks like twin numbers!!! How cool will that be! I actually had a twin dream the other day! I never remember any of my dreams but this one was vivid!! So  so so very exciting! We are praising God! He is amazing!!

S started taking the home tests 5 days after the transfer. She had bought some hpt in bulk on amazon. Those didn't work! She switched to some other and LOOk what we saw. Crazy huh?  Look close and you can see the faint line! now we just have to wait for her blood work. the betas!!! Waiting again!
