Nine Weeks and growing!

I had another ultrasound appointment today, and am happy to report all is normal! That's a word I love to hear these days! I am 9 weeks pregnant today and both babies are still measuring one day ahead, and they're nearly an inch long. Baby A's heart rate was 173 and Baby B's heart rate was 172.



The nurse practitioner I saw today said they're both moving around and all looks great. She also said the cramping I've been experiencing is most likely the uterus expanding. It's growing quickly with two babies in there and some mild cramping twinges and pulling are completely normal.

Aside from the complete exhaustion, occasional cramp (that sends my head and heart spinning) and the mild heartburn I experience now and then, everything's been normal. I'm thankful for an easy time so far, and am hopeful that all the pain and anguish we went through to get to this point is all we have to endure throughout this pregnancy.

My next appointment is scheduled for the afternoon of Tuesday 5/4. It will most likely be my last appointment with my RE as I should be released to my OB after that. It'll be rather strange not to make the weekly (sometimes more than once a week) visit to the RE's office. It will also be rather exciting to move on to the next part of the pregnancy. It will mean we're normal! Yay!
