First Ultrasound

This two week wait was another rough one. I almost fully convinced myself that this ultrasound was going to show an empty sac just like it did the last time I was pregnant....2 years ago. I had some spotting and didn't feel like my boobs felt nearly as swollen. I have had food aversions, but have been blaming most of my symptoms on the meds I'm taking.My heart was pounding while we were waiting for the doctor to come in. The tech, my nurse, and my doctor were all in the room as anxious as I was to see what would happen. As soon as he got started he said, well you're definitely pregnant....very pregnant. And then I saw two sacs with two little babies inside and I started bawling. I bawled through the entire ultrasound. Even my nurse was crying! Baby A's heart rate is 114 and Baby B's heart rate is 118. They are both measuring 5mm. I can't even believe we are pregnant with twins. I know it sounds ridiculous considering our betas, but I just didn't think this was going to happen. We are SO used to bad news that I never thought good news was actually going to happen to us. We are so shocked, so ecstatic, so full of love. Words can't even describe what we are truly feeling. DH kept saying, oh my god we're gonna have two babies at the same time. Lol I don't get a second ultrasound until week 8, but my nurse said I'm welcome to come in every week if I want. I haven't decided yet, but I'm sure I'll go back next week just to be sure. Can you believe this?!
