7w6d

One Healthy Baby!




Well, the twin did not make it, which makes me feel a little conflicted, but thrilled about having one healthy baby. Heartrate was 175 bpm, a huge jump from last weeks 130. Still very much a blob but a blob with a little more shape to it.



Ava says it looks like a baby dinosaur, which...yeah, kind of! lol. Our photo album is already off to an awesome start with all these super early photos.



I really want to write about the emotional aspect of all of this, but I am still in the survival stage of early pregnancy. All extra energy is going towards playing with my kids. Soon!

7w2d

No spotting, so that's good. Follow up ultrasound on Friday to do another head/heartbeat count and check on the cyst and subchorionic hemmorhage.

Just a little backstory...last week at 6w3d, I had an ultrasound that saw two yolk sacs, two fetals poles, and one heartbeat (130bpm). Most likely a vanishing twin, but it is a possibility that the second heart just hadn't started beating yet. We will see.

I'm feeling pretty good about everything today, not so stressed. Whatever will be will be, right? I'll probably be a mess tomorrow. =)
