We had our final appointment with Dr. D today. The two little ones are doing well. B has caught up to A in size, and they both measure exactly the same at 1.46cm. Their heart rates are A: 168 and B: 154. Dr. D said that he thinks they are a boy and a girl--and he's right 50% of the time. :)
Our chance of miscarriage is now just 1-2%, so we're breathing much easier now. I'm sure I'll still be very nervous at any sign of something abnormal, but I feel much better about it all.
It's been really fun sharing the news with family and friends. Particularly those that have been through most of the past 3 years with us. Their reactions are all over the map--much like our own feelings--but mostly very excited.
We are really grateful for the support and encouragement and prayers of so many dear people. Thank you.

It's official
I officially no longer fit in any of my pants.
I officially purchased my first piece of maternity clothing.
And so it begins...
(8 week ultrasound this afternoon--tells us if all's good and our risk of miscarriage for people my age/health/situation/etc. goes from 15%-20% down to <3%. Big day.)

To sleep perchance to dream...
TIRED. That pretty much sums up my days and nights. No matter how much I sleep (last night 10 hours), I still have to drag myself out of bed. I am weary. At work, I often lean my head back and snooze between drafting warrants and service agreements. Every couple days, you can even find me in my partner's office (who's out of town) snoozing on her couch. Fortunately, everyone here is very understanding and supportive.
Although I think I'm getting more and more confident with each passing day, I've still had a few miscarriage dreams. :-/ I typically wake up fine and feel okay about it all when awake, but I suppose that probably means I'm still quite nervous. Another appointment on Monday. Hopefully that will give me the reassurance to put aside some of my worries.

We found out yesterday that there's a Baby A AND a Baby B! I'm mostly over the shock, somewhat over being terrified, still very, very happy. The emotional rollercoaster has been so crazy that I am incapable of getting any work done and I'm just worn out. I decided to tell everyone at the office (mostly since they know I'm going through all the fertility stuff and I'm terrible at lying). That naturally took all morning because everyone was so excited.
So, now I'm supposed to research weighted average anti-dilution provisions, prepare for negotiations on indemnification provisions, respond to various sale agreements, and draft a note and company agreement for a company who is about to admit venture capital investors. How do I get my emotional, excited, exhausted brain to focus?!?!
