Anxiously waiting. Still.

So Monday was our US appointment where we got to see our baby(ies). Our bHcg levels have been through the roof and getting bigger every day!  This was very exciting to us as, Wife especially, we really want twins!  We have quite a few friends with twins, and also, we want a big family and this is a lot of work and very expensive and I think we see twins as BOOM!  Instant family!

We waited for what seemed like forever, and was, in fact, 9 minutes. For the doctor and then we got the US!! There was one beautiful gestational sac (baby home) AND one slightly less developed gestational sac!  It was too early to see babies, too early for heart beats. When we asked about the second sac, the doc said "well it may have implanted a day or two later".  He said he was "cautiously optimistic". We might have twins!  Of course, what this meant was, no firm answers. We have to come back the following Monday (three more days now). By that time we should see heartbeat(s) and if we have one or two, then we'll finally know!

The black teardrop-shaped thing is gestational sac #1. The less clear bubble below it, that looks half-full, is the sac-in-question. 

I unfortunately had to break the news to Wife about what the other option was: if the second baby had not implanted a few days later. Since our big big numbers indicated twins and we saw a second, ill-formed sac, if we have another US on Monday and there are not 2 heartbeats. It means the second fetus got 'reabsorbed'. Like what a miscarriage would be, only there isn't a miscarriage if you still have one baby. 😞
