Congratulations to everyone on the healthy scans and beautiful ultrasound photos. It makes me excited to see how much my baby will grow in the following weeks.
I saw my doctor today for the latest ultrasound and confirmed that I lost one of the babies. The surviving twin has already absorbed the remnants of the other. A part of me is still sad, but I think I knew it was coming before I even saw the ultrasound. But I still held onto some hope.
I had a dream about a week ago. I had seen one baby fade away in my mind, and I guess I just knew. My parents had called and video chatted with me to make sure I'm okay. And I honestly believe that I am. I'm sad, but I'm also grateful that my other child is still with me. I hope that what my surviving baby absorbed will help it grow strong for the remainder of the pregnancy.
My baby does have four cute little buds sticking out. I cannot wait to see what developments have occurred by my next visit. It'll be a good three weeks before I go again. I wonder if they'll poke and prod me again. I had 3 tests done, and I was so pooped I had to take a 4 hour nap.
oneday123: I hope you feel better soon! Ginger, lemon and honey herbal tea. It works wonders.
So sorry to hear, Expatmom, but I am happy that the other baby is doing great.
AFM, lots of stress all around for me. We are moving next weekend, just to another place here in town, but it's been stressing DH and me out to no end. We got in a fight with his mom yesterday, well mainly DH did but she yelled at me for something DH said and I just lost it. I was so angry. She is watching DD this weekend and said she can just bring her back if we aren't grateful. But I am grateful and I told her that so her saying that to me really upset me. She apologized to me but yelled at DH. DH doesn't take that well from his mom and it's just a horrid mess. I'm hoping she still will help with the move next weekend, even if it's just her keeping Ashlyn occupied inside the new place while we unload/unpack.
Appointment on Tuesday. Ready to get it done and over with. I think I'm anemic again this time around...definitely feeling the symptoms so I'll ask for iron or a blood draw or something. I can't move next weekend feeling like I'm constantly out of breath. Also, after every meal, no matter what it is I eat, I get so tired that I can hardly stand it. That's what happened last time and I was found to be very anemic.
I will be right behind you in January. Hope everyone is doing well!!
