7 weeks

I'm 7 weeks 2 days pregnant today. Baby Piki is the size of a blueberry and is growing arm and leg buds this week. My nausea has still been pretty bad, but with the help of zofran i've actually been doing a little bit better. I've gotten quite a few naps in this week so I feel like i'm actually doing a lot better than I did in R's pregnancy. I was SO exhausted when I was pregnant with her.

On Tuesday (when I was 6 weeks 6 days) my friend Monica and I went to Memphis for my "official ultrasound". Thankfully it was at 10:30 instead of the 8:30 appointments I had before so we were all a lot more well rested and R was the only kid with us since D was visiting her grandma.  Anyways Piki was measuring right on track at around 7 weeks and had a heartbeat of 128.

 

But then there was a twist....
 Twins!!! The only thing is while baby A (the one with the heartbeat video) is doing great, Baby B only has a yolk sac and is measuring a few days behind Baby A. Either Baby B will make it or Baby B will shrink and eventually be reabsorbed back into my body. My next ultrasound is next Tuesday also at 10:30 and we should know the results.
