We are so thrilled with yesterday's news and so touched by each and every comment and well wish! Thank you. I was so excited that there appeared to be one healthy embryo growing yesterday, but two is extra special! I am quite aware of the heightened risks of twin pregnancies, and that there is still a possibility of vanishing twin syndrome, where one twin disappears, but we are trying to be as optimistic as possible. I feel very confident that medicine knows much more about how to have a healthy twin pregnancy than before, and we live near some amazing high-risk OB's and a Level 3 NICU. I am trying to educate myself about the risks and ways to take care of myself in the hope that both twins make it, and we are holding two babies in December.
Beta came back (for 16 days post 5 day transfer, or 16dp5dt at 5594. Looking good!!
With all the positivity and optimism coursing through my veins, I am thinking Sacs A and B need names. Because, seriously, we can't call them Sacs A and B forever!
Help me out, Internets, and offer up some ideas.
This is so exciting...you give me hope!
ReplyDeleteHow about Apple and Banana (a & b, get it? OK, not very original, but family friendly.)
YAY for a great beta number.I like the pea picture:)I will be thinking of names...
ReplyDeleteFrick & Frack
ReplyDeleteChip and Dale, Snoopy and Peanuts, or Cookies and Chips (Gramma's ideas of the day)
ReplyDeleteI was away this weekend so I missed your other post. Congratulations!! Twins! That's so exciting. As far as naming embies, my DH and I had a hard time with that. We are not very creative.
ReplyDeleteScooby and Scrappy, Thelma and Louise, Yin and Yang...
ReplyDeleteGossie and Gertie, or Toot and Puddle - both sets of best friends from great books for kids.
ReplyDeleteI like names linked to the due date...maybe two reindeer names (dasher and dancer?) or maybe they will come in late November....hmmmmm. So excited for you guys!
ReplyDeleteSuch exciting news! I'm SO happy for you!
ReplyDeleteAs for names, hmmm, I'll have to think on that.
P.S. I have something for you at my blog...
Woohoo, congrats! Great u/s too - very clear:-)
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS!!!! I am so happy for you! On the name front - my husband and I play a little game where we try and come up with names that we would never name our children. It always makes us laugh. Right now my embies are Ernie and Bernie. We are hoping those names stick with us for 9 more months - LOL.
ReplyDeleteWow. That is awesome! I wish you luck with the 2 little beans.
ReplyDeleteHow on earth did I miss this news?!? Congratulations! I would go with Bert and Ernie. :)
ReplyDeleteCarrie, I left you something on my blog;)
