Raspberries..

We are 8 weeks today, and the babies are the size of raspberries, we went to my OB Dr. Martin for our first appointment today. I'm not released from Dr. Shapiro yet but because we were having twins and didn't want a gap at all we called up and Dr Martin wanted to see us. I love him! I have been going to him for 10+ years and he is so happy for us! He measured both babies and said everything looks great!

I thought once I was done with the Fertility Center that I would be a normal pregnant woman going once a month...ummm nope. Dr. Martin said since I am having twins, we had to do IVF and they are my first I am automatically high risk and we need to go to a high risk Dr. also. He said the longest I will go between doctors appointments is 2-3 weeks. One good thing is I will get a ultrasound every month at the high risk Dr. so we will get to see the babies a lot!! Our first appointment with them will be wen I 12 weeks maybe we will get a gender sneak peak :)

I also talked to Dr. Martin today about a vaginal birth. I really want one if I can. He gave me some rules to even consider. 1. I have to have a epidural in case they have to do a emergency c-section (no complaints here!) 2. I have to deliver in the OR not in my room in case of a c-section 3. I have to deliver at Summerlin because of the NiCu and because they have a doctor on call 24-7 who would be able to help him monitor the 2nd baby while I'm in labor. He did say with my stature if any baby is breech deal is off and I go to automatic c-section. Only time will tell that, but I'm hoping for vaginal.

Also, I am sooo sick. The babies are killing me. I threw up so hard I threw out a muscle in my back so sharp shooting pains coarsing down my back while I throw up. So horrible. I finally was able to get zofran after my last ultrasound where they saw the heartbeats. It's helping but not taking it all away. I'm also wearing the sea bands (thanks Kristen!). Lets hope when I am off all my meds and out of 1st trimester the sickness is over!

Overall we are just so happy and so blessed. We are almost to the safe zone, and everytime I get to see the babies and see them growing it becomes more real. Since I will only be able to go to 36-37 weeks we only really have 6- 6-1/2 months!

Time is going to fly by and then the real craziness will begin, but I don't care because I will finally be a mommy. :)
