6 week ultrasound

I'm having twins.

I saw both heartbeats today. Both beans measure 5weeks 6days - according to my RE, a 6 week u/s is early to see a heartbeat, so he called them "strong."

Holy. Fuck.

I'm sorry for the potty mouth - it's all I've got for you right now. I'm. totally. dumbfounded.

    Visiting from Cort's blog.

    Congratulations! I read this and your prior post.

    One thing is for sure. Moms like you and Cort will never take your babies for granted. You'll be excellent parents. I know you feel like you're holding your breath until then. I would too, I guess. I'll say lots of prayers for healthy, full-term twins.

    Oh Erica!! I am so happy for you, I had been offline and trying to check your blog on my iphone and couldn't see an update, and imagine my delight to see this today! I am hoping that SJF does the same magic for me....but feeling like it is not going to happen this time, but trying to staying hopeful. We are in the middle of a move, so I may be off line for a bit. I am just tickled (he-he) for you!!

    Hi, I've never read your blog before, but the title of your post ("6 week ultrasound") and the title of your blog ("Learning to Accept My Infertility") kinda jumped out at me from some else's blogroll!

    Congrats to you...and double congrats on twins!!
