I graduated from the RE & made our announcement!!
I never thought this day would come! I have seen so many other women on here graduate from their RE and the significance that stands for, but I, for so long, just never thought we'd get there. But Thursday was our last appointment with our RE!! It was such a surreal and emotional appointment for multiple reasons!
My husband was able to come to this appointment after not being able to go the previous 2 visits. And the babies have changed soooo much since he was last there! At his last appointment we got to hear the heartbeats for the first time and at this appointment both babies were just dancing and moving away ad actually look more like babies than just little blobs lol! It was absolutely amazing!! Plus, hearing my husband repeat over and over during the visit just how crazy it was to see and "she's dancing! That's amazing", it just makes my heart melt!
Once the visit was over we said our goodbyes and i thought I was going to loose it the whole time and start crying because how can you ever express your gratitude to these people who have made your dreams come true, x2 in our case, but I held it together! We were able to hug everyone and say thank you for everything! They gave us 2 newborn onesies with their logo on it so when the babies are born we can share their picture on the office's website! It was so sweet. The minute we walked out the door I did end up loosing it and started bawling haha!! I just can't believe we're here!
We also decided that since I was so open about going through IVF and so many people knew about it and honestly were starting to wonder what was going on with me since I kinda took a step back from social media, we would make our official announcement as long as the appointment went well. Well, with our final appointment and thumbs up from our RE we did just that! The announcement has been made! I will post the pic incase anyone wants to see it!
I now have to wait almost 3 weeks for my first official OB appointment and I just don't know how I am going to get through that time without going crazy haha!! I am so used to having weekly appointments and now I have to wait, I don't like it :) But I am excited to just be moving forward!
I am thinking of you all often and love seeing your updates! I will probably keep most of the pregnancy updates to a minimum on here, but will continue to check in. I just don't ever want to be a reason that makes things more difficult for those who are still on their journey. I know how that can feel!

So happy that you have made it here in your journey. It is still surreal, almost 2 years later! :)
I love this update! So excited for you and the amazing journey yet to come!
Lindsey this is so awesome! It must seem so surreal. Praying everything stays on a smooth path through your due date. Congrats!!
So awesome!!! When I saw your announcement I did the happy dance! Will you be seeing a MFM in addition to your OB? I\'m not sure what protocol is for fraternal twins but, I would assume so and I hope so because that just means more ultrasounds. Super excited for you!!!
So happy for you, Lindsey!! :-)
