Darin and I made the trip to IA today for our 9 week ultrasound, it's about a 4.5 hour drive each way so 9 hours total in the car but it's so worth it to get to see our adorable little babies! Both babies look wonderful! It was such a relief to see them immediately on the screen today, I just felt elated knowing that they are both doing so great. It's so difficult not to be able to feel the babies or feel sick because of the pregnancy or any other normal pregnancy symptoms, it makes me worry a lot. It makes these few times that Darin and I get to be an active part of the pregnancy so special.
Steph does a wonderful job of keeping us updated on things and making us feel included. We didn't get to spend very much time with her today because she was working and we had to get back on the road but she called me immediately after we left her just because she was excited and wanted to talk to us some more, she's very sweet and sensitive to our needs.
This is a photo of both babies together. The ultrasound tech had a difficult time getting a photo of them together because they are getting so big. You can see Baby A's full body and Baby B's head.
This is Baby A! Baby A is measuring 9 weeks even with a heartbeat of 160
bpm.
This is Baby B! Baby B is measuring 9 weeks 1 day with a heartbeat of 171
bpm.
We really need to come up with nicknames for them because I'm already getting tired of calling them Baby A and Baby B. Darin and I thought about nicknames today and came up with a few but are not completely sold on any of them...we need help. Any ideas? We like our Ju-Ju Bees for a combined name but they also need individual names.

Yay!! I am so glad to hear that your little babies are doing well! They are getting bigger.
U/S days are huge. They bring us so much closer to the pregnancy. It sounds like you and your GS have a special relationship.
Oh what fabulous news - I'm so happy your little babies are doing so well. Love the pics :)
Sorry you don't get to spend all that much time close to them, it must be hard! But hooray for Steph being so in tune with you!!!

Wow ! We are so so happy for you. Melissa you are so eloquent, truthful and sensitive when you write about your pregnancy. What a gift you have and thank you so much for sharing it with us. I think your children are all so very blessed to have you as their Mom. Your words, pictures and emotions will be a gift to them when they are older. They will have a testament to how deep the roots of their family's love for them is planted. We hold all of you in our thoughts and we will in be checking on you often, Love Bethel
Congrats on a great 9 week u/s! Fantastic news and wonderful pictures! I know what you mean when you say it's so difficult not to be able to feel them or feel symptoms - I am the queen of worrytown :)
Congratulations on a great ultrasound! The pictures are wonderful - those where you can see both babies in one shot are very special because soon you will only be able to see one at a time! :)
