OMG, I don't even know what to title this post = ) but it's good i promis.

For the last few months I've had no idea what to post.  We haven't been doing any fertility treatment, we've been just laying low living life as normal.  And now i have to say for the last few weeks I've had to try really hard to not share my life and write a post.(
I'm going to cut right to the chase, this last cycle things just felt right.  We tracked ovulation, I ate healthy, worked out a lot, and just tried to take care of my body the best i could.  Well two weeks ago today I took my first pregnancy test (of this cycle).  and BAM all the time i've spent as a patiently waiting member of the infertility club has paid off... 2 pink lines.  Yaaayyy!!!

Well I continued to be POS Obsessed that whole weekend (with lines getting darker and darker each time) and on Monday I called my doctor and went in for my first beta.  My results came back the next day with a beta of 148 (yay again) and a whopping progesterone level of 89 (nurse wanted to see it over 20).  So officially prego.  After almost 5 years of TTC I'm really pregnant and this time everything looks good. 
My follow up beta two days later was good as well, it came back at 284 so again looks good.

But wait I have more to my story.......  I went in yesterday for my first appt with the doctor to confirm my pregnancy with a ultrasound.  I had to work that morning but a co-worker came in for an hour to let me go to my appt (the whole time no one at work knowing that I'm prego, actually we haven't told anyone yet).  I met my husband at the doctors office and we wait, me totally nervous.  We've never made it this far in our fertility journey, and i just want to see something inside my uterus to confirm this is all real and to make sure our sticky baby is sticky in the right place.
We'll after what seemed like hours of waiting, we where finally looking at the ultrasound screen anticipating what we where gonna see....  Well i'll show a picture and everyone else can be the judge of my ultrasound picture....

Now if you are looking at this picture and think you might be seeing double.... Its because there are two gestational sacs... Yeah I said it TWO sacs, OMG I'm having TWINS.  How does this happen?  Well never mind i know how it happened, but really after 5 years, 3 failed IUI's, a failed IVF, and a Miscarriage last summer... This is really it, it feels right this time. 

So to recap I'm 6 weeks pregnant today, and the babies are due to join this word January 11, 2013.  And We get to see our little miracles again in two weeks on June 4th, and hopefully we will get to see the heartbeats.
I really want to track every step of my journey with lots of pictures.
Here is my belly at 5 weeks... i'm sure it is going to change quickly with two munchkins fighting for space = )

Till next time <3 Rachel
