Lentils

I slept surprisingly well last night considering how emotional I was about today's scan. Maybe it was the big storm that passed over the iron range last night. I always sleep well when it's storming outside. I did wake up much earlier than I wanted to. Tashi was up at 5:30 wanting to go out and to eat. So after anfew chores around the house, cereal for breakfast (which is all I can stomach), and a pre appointment shower we were in the car headed an hour south to see our summer doctor. We didn't wait long before we were called in and put in a room. Summer doc came in immediately congratulating us. My response was some thing along the lines of, "let's not get ahead of ourselves." So then he asked me some questions get me up on the chair with stirrups (no stirrups in India) and rolled in the ultrasound machine. Then we got to see the little lentils. Two beautiful, strong flickering heartbeats. One is measuring 6w4d and the other is 6w3d. This is actually beginning to feel real. I am actually pregnant with twins. This could really be it.

  5. That is great news! And yes, they are the size of Lentils, at least according to my pregnancy app on my phone. So happy for you! Also, I am loving cereal right now, too. I wish I could eat it for dinner but the husband will not allow me that indulgence. He says I need more than cereal can provide. I know he's right but at the same time if I can't eat more than a few bites of regular food then I'm not benefitting from it anyway, right? :-) Bring on the frosted mini-wheats!

  6. That's great news, Kate. I'm so excited for you. Twins - wow - at least you have twin expertise nearby. Enjoy every minute of your pregnancy, even when you don't feel great. It's an amazing thing, pregnancy.
