We have heartbeats!!

Yes, you read that correctly we have 2 lovely, strong, and steady heartbeats...I'm so excited. I'm now 6 weeks 5 days pregnant. I was very nervous for today's appointment not knowing if we were going to see 2 or 1 heartbeats. I couldn't believe how big they had gotten in 1 week. When I read that they would be 10,000 times bigger then the day of conception I couldn't picture it...but now I can with my U/S pics. What I've read is that they are the size of sweet peas. I just wish that we could have U/S every week or every other week so that I can watch the babies grow. I get another U/S next week...I haven't schedule it yet. Then I will be released to my OB/Gyn. IF everything looks good which my nurse felt it would. My restrictions are still no lifting over 10lbs, no exercising, and to take it easy. I already have my OB/Gyn picked out I've been going to her for several years and can't wait to go see her pregnant. I know she will be just as excited as me...she helped get my treatments started. And helped with the referrals for my new insurance program. My blood work will come back tomorrow but I'm pretty sure my levels are doing fine with these two growing as fast as they are.

My symptoms are pretty mild I must say...sore boobs, upset stomach when I don't eat, and certain things taste better on some days then on others they are completely disgusting. I feel pretty good and am amazed that I'm pregnant and not having more symptoms...but I'm grateful and happy.

I took a picture last Thursday which is my day that changes what week I'm at so this picture is my 6 week pregnancy picture...its a bump but from bloat not babies yet...




Here is my 6w 5d Ultrasound Picture:


Here is the information on the size of the babies from The Bump.com



Growing like crazy, baby is starting to sprout eyes, ears, nose, cheeks and chin. Those little hands and feet- still webbed like paddles- might wiggle by week's end, the heart is beating (almost twice as fast as yours!), and blood is starting to circulate.
