Relief! (with update)

I am THRILLED to let everyone know that we saw 2 healthy babies on my scan this morning. I was almost in tears as I walked into the room I was so scared but the tech immediately showed me the two little ones and their heartbeats. The NT scan took an hour total which was awesome because although she didn't show me the screen the whole time, I was able to see the babies flip around, wave and kick their legs. Absolutely amazing. After she did all the measurements T got to come in and she carefully went through each baby explaining what she was seeing. We got some great profile pictures. Finally I can relax (Ha! Who am I kidding!). Two issues that remain are, of course, the SCH which is sitting beside Baby B as well as 2 huge cysts on my right ovary that have been causing me quite a bit of pain over the past week or so (I thought it was pain related to the bleed...or an impending miscarriage...but ends up it was my ovary...I can feel the mass when I press on my tummy!). I'm not sure if they will want to do another scan before the normal 18-20 week anatomy one to keep an eye on those issues or not. I feel like a bit of a fool for being so worried but about 2 weeks ago I passed a clot that I swear looked like it would be the size of one of the babies. I could not get that image of the clot out of my head, even though logically I knew that it likely wasn't...I think all the stress of the bleeding and pain kind of made me go a little crazy!

Now I can focus on Christmas! After our scan T and I headed across the border to do a bit of grocery and Christmas shopping. UGH! I hate malls at Christmas! I need to come up with a way to get all my shopping done much earlier but every year it just doesn't happen!

UPDATE: Just got a call from my midwife. I'm to get another scan in 2-3 weeks to monitor the bleed. Glad that they are taking it seriously. Please let the bleed shrink! Please please please!
