A big sigh of relief!
On Friday, October 3rd, we had our prenatal testing. My husband and I went in at 10:30 in the morning for my ultrasound and bloodwork. I got to drink a Pepsi and eat a Snickers before I went in. Score! My first caffeine since egg transfer day!
The caffeine definitely did the trick too because both babies were wide awake and wiggling all over the place! It was amazing to see them so active. Especially when I can't feel them yet. The ultrasound tech would put the wand over them and they'd roll away. Then you'd be left with this perfect picture of their little spines and heads. One baby even waved at us when she was moving the wand around. Haha! You could count 5 perfect little fingers as it passed by. I'm in love with them already!
We got the call this morning that all the tests came back and both babies were in the normal range!! Can I get an amen?! :) So, we've officially graduated our RE, and a week from Friday we meet our periantologist for the fist time! Very happy mama here!
Also, I'm now done with my Estrace tabs. Finally, pills are starting to fall away. My husband and I counted at one point during all of this and I was taking 12 pills a day. It's so nice to feel "normal" and only have to take my prenatal vitamin and my Metformin.

So glad to hear your twinsies are doing so well. And congrats on graduation! It\'s a scary but wonderful feeling, to which a close second is starting to get off all the meds. Good luck with your perinatologist :)
What a great update! So glad you got to see them wiggle around. Congrats on two healthy little one\'s.
OMG... AMEN. This is such a great journal entry to read. I am so happy to see this first thing this morning. the success stories are so inspiring and up lifting. I hope you have a smooth and easy pregnancy! Enjoy every minute of your little beans growing inside of you.
Thank you ladies! I still have morning sickness and I\'m now 14 weeks, but somehow the sickness doesn\'t bother me that much. I know the twins are still going strong if I\'m getting sick.
