Ultrasound at 7 Weeks

Yesterday morning was our second ultrasound. I woke up feeling nervous and found out that morning sickness nausea paired with fertility clinic anxiety is not a good combination. 

I got stuck with my least favorite NP. She didn't say much, and there was definitely no congratulations. When she started the scan she saw 2 and was annoyed I didn't tell her there were 2. It did make me smirk a little that she was doing the ultrasound since she was the one who warned me that Dr. Br.averman was just going to take my money. She's never been very friendly or nice, so I didn't care much. I just wanted to see our little ones again. 

As soon as she started I saw the 2 little sacs again. She pointed out both heartbeats and W squeezed my hand. She was pretty quick with everything. Both babies measured 6w5d and I was 7w1d. I'm really not concerned they are measuring a few days behind since I know there is a margin for error and that there can be a little difference with no problem. Baby A's heartbeat was 127 and baby B's was 129. She didn't let us listen to the heartbeats for long, just quickly played them in order to measure. It felt more scientific than anything else. I was a little disappointed we didn't get to hear them a little longer, but oh well. They are just so rushed at that clinic, so they don't take much time to do anything. 

I was so relived to see them both and hear their little heartbeats. It's amazing to think that I have 2 little babies growing away inside me. 

I went yesterday to get my blood drawn again to test my Anti Herparin XA. I made it just on time to be 4 hours after my Lovenox shot. The phlebotomist drew my blood and I left. A little while later I had a voicemail on my phone. It was the lab saying something was wrong and that they wanted me to come back and get it done again. I know that what was wrong is that the phlebotomist used the wrong tube. I thought about mentioning it when I was there, but didn't.  I had a done the same blood work a week prior and the phlebotomist was sure to go ask someone before drawing my blood. She was surprised as to which tube was needed.

I was pretty annoyed they screwed it up and that I had to go back today and do it again. I'm no stranger to needles and blood draws, but I'd like to avoid unnecessary ones if possible. 

Annoyance aside, I'm so happy and excited about our little twins. We are just feeling so lucky and blessed.
