Beta and Appleseed(s)

So it is official, we're PREGNANT!  Beta came back Wednesday as 4675!  That's a great number for 21 days past ovulation.  According to Betabase, an online database where people record their betas for pregnancies, it would be in the top 10%  for highest results for a singleton pregnancy. Now that makes me wonder if both embryo's may have taken. For twin pregnancies my beta would in the top 50%.   So either we have one strong baby or two that are right on track.

Our first ultrasound is on September 5th and that is when we will know if it is one or two and get to hear the heartbeat(s).  I am super excited for this day.

For now our I will refer to them as babies, as I feel deep down that we are having twins. As of today they are the size of appleseeds.

They are starting to develop from that embryo state that looks like cells to itty bitty little tadpoles.

Their hearts are developing and beginning to beat.  At this stage the hearbeat could only be heard by an internal ultrasound.  Within a couple weeks they can be heard by external ultrasound and a few weeks later by a Doppler.

So far everything has been pretty good.  I am leaning that some of the foods that I love aren't agreeing with the babies.  Yesterday I had my first bout with nausea while eating my favorite Friday lunch special the Mediterranean Plate.  It came out almost faster then it went in (Sorry TMI).  In any case I am through with it for now.  After much rest I awoke this morning feeling good.
