Vanishing Twin

I talked my doctor yesterday, I was right. There were two in there! But, it looks like the other baby was measuring really small with no heartbeat. I go for a follow up u/s later this month, just to make sure it 'vanishes' with no complications. My hubby is pretty disappointed. He was excited for twins. As for me, I'm just glad I've got a healthy baby in there. I'm not greedy! One's plenty for me! On the plus side, I'll get lots of ultrasounds to make sure that everything is going okay. I can see my baby more, which is always awesome.

First Ultrasound

I had my first ultrasound yesterday. Let me just start off by saying that this ultrasound was about a million times better than my last one. There's a heartbeat! A superstrong 163 beats per minute. Little peanut measured right on target at 9w2d, and as the tech was pointing out the little legs and the little arms, peanut was waving and kicking and dancing around. I can't express the joy I felt at seeing the little being inside me that was doing just what it should. I'm waiting for the doctor to call with the results of the ultrasound... there was something funny in my uterus that looked suspiciously like another baby. If I don't hear from her by noon tomorrow, I'm going to her office!
