Last Day at NFC :*-(

Well, today was our last appointment at Nashville Fertility.  It's so exciting that we are finally pregnant and can move on to the next phase, but after being with them for 3 years, they have become such huge supporters of us and it's so comforting to have people that understand what we went through to get here and can appreciate what a huge deal this is for us.  I was sad to say goodbye to them and move on to being just another new pregnant patient that is seen once a month for routine check ups. 

When we got to NFC we could tell everyone felt that same way we do!  Everyone said "so this is your last day?" "Are you really leaving us?" "We are so excited for yall but we are going to miss you!"  We went in to the ultrasound room and I was so nervous!! I was scared we would have a "vanishing" twin or one that did not make it or there would only be one sac.. thinking the worst (of course.. I have to break that habit!!)  But when Patty began the ultrasound she said "yep, this baby looks good, and that one looks good too.. cute babies!"  Then we got to see both of their heads and heartbeats.  Twin A measured 7w6d with a 164 heartrate and twin B measured 8w0d with a 170 heartrate.  She said they would never match up exactly, but as long as they were less than 5 days apart there is nothing to worry about.  We even got to hear their heartbeats!! It was so surreal.  She gave us pictures of both babies, gave us a big hug, and told us to come back in 9 months so she can see them.

After we finished the ultrasound, we talked to a nurse I had never seen before about all of my symptoms and medications I am taking.  Dr. Hill came in next and said he was so excited for us.. then he already started talking about our frozen embryo and how we can try that in a couple of years!! I doubt we will want to do that with 2 crazy kids.. but you never know.  He said he wanted to get my progesterone and estrogen level to see if I could stop taking the progesterone shot (Please God!!).  He said I should be able to since I have two little placentas making plenty of it already.  So I am hoping to be done with that awful thing!

We go to a regular OBgyn September 2nd at 3:15.  I am going to be so lost.. I have never been anywhere baby related except for the fertility center so it is going to be very strange!  I am 8weeks1day today.  We found out our due date is March 24th!  Will keeps saying they are two boys.. I think I may have to kill him.  What do you think?
