Yeppers!

We are very happy to inform you that two heartbeats have been seen during the scan.

Love those colorful e-mails!   Two little ones measuring right at 6w 1day, 120 and 124 beats per minute!

Haven't gotten to talk to J yet as she's in school teaching, but got a nice excited text from M. this am.  He beat me to the punch on this one!   

My kids are so very excited about all of this, and look forward to each step.  This has given us an excellent opportunity to discuss how babies develop, and everything that goes into making a baby, aside from the sex part.  Since both kids were conceived medically, I am perfectly fine with them thinking that all babies are made at the doctor's office at this point, and that the egg and sperm are handled by the lab.   Our time with this belief is short, however, as our 10 year old son is beginning to go through the early stages of puberty.   I'm clinging to innocence as long as possible!

I know that there have been many positives coming lately, but I want to send a special shout out to some special people who didn't receive the best news today - I KNOW that your time is coming guys, just hang in there!  You know who you are.

Great early morning news!

Today was the day for J&M's first beta following their FET.  I couldn't sleep so I logged in at 3:30 am to see if there was any news, and sure enough within five minutes of logging in, there's a brightly lit colorful note from Neha.  BIG congratulations this time! Item Thumbnail 
Beta is 573.99!!!  Amazing number 10 days past blast transfer.   So, do you think I waited til a more respectable hour to call them with the news?   Of course not, woke them up and got to squeal in delight with my sister.   VERY COOL!  It's the most fantastic thing to get to tell someone you love so much news like this!  About HER!  Sure, they would have gotten the email in a few hours, but hey, I'm the AUNT, and darn it, I wanted to get to tell J!  Yes, I know, it's early in the game yet, but damn it, THIS TIME I'm going to just GO WITH IT, not OVER ANALYZE, and be relaxed and THRILLED for J&M.   I don't think any of us who deal with infertility and/or miscarriage breathe until the baby (or in this case BABIES?!?) are born and safe in waiting arms, but man, this is just totally awesome news and we should be able to celebrate a little bit, right?

It is now 7:12 am Dallas time, and I've not gone back to sleep.   Is it too early for champagne???  

(I think Neha's colors are rubbing off on me)!!!

Hope everyone doing well!
