1181 on 20 dpo

Another high number (...but not too high!) Everything is looking good. We have our first ultrasound on 3/11 (6 weeks, 1 day) at 9:15! So excited!!

So, this has been a rough week. Really nauseated, really constipated (which is strange....I have never felt THAT before, seeing as though I have Crohn's disease). Also, extremely tired, which is why it was so hard to actually work a full week this week...first time in a long time due to snow days!

My boobs are ginormous! I went out to buy a new bra last Saturday...E CUP!....and when I tried it on a few days later, it was TOO SMALL! Seriously! Motherhood Maternity does not go above E cup, so it looks like online ordering to me.

I am also having some trouble withe the PIO. I think my butt is starting to revolt. I have huge knots in both of my sides, but they have subsided with some heat, which is very good news. Nurse Tara tells me that after a heartbeat is detected, we can switch to estrace and progesterone suppositories.

Despite all of the discomfort, I am so ridiculously happy! A little baby in November! I am so excited! I also would really, really like to enjoy this pregnancy, and I don't want it to go too fast. I have been looking forward to this for so long! (I do want the next couple of weeks to speed up, just so we can make sure the pregnancy is viable, then time can crawl again!)

Gracie is getting more excited about being a big sister! Not that she wasn't before, but she seemed a little shocked when we first told her. We bought her this shirt:



We plan on telling our extended families by taking a pic of Grace wearing the shirt and sending it in an email, maybe with a pic of the ultrasound....especially if we are having twins. I know, I know...it is a little bit crazy to think that we are having twins, our beta numbers just fall a little bit above the twin average. Also, if you believe my intuition....I was always convinced that our first IVF cycle would not work, but the second one would (and it did!) and I also pictured our cycle producing twins. Well, who knows. And I will be perfectly ecstatic with one baby....I just have a feeling. I guess we will find out on Friday (truly, I am just praying for a heartbeat!)

Will post baby pictures on Friday! :)
