scary... then, exciting night!

let me start by saying that everything is OK!  thank GOD!!  

here's what happened (the short-ish version)... around 7:30-ish tonight, I started having some bleeding with cramping.  but the cramping could have partially been gas.  the bleeding was not like period bleeding, but it seemed to be a little more then "spotting".  so we were worried to say the least!  we called our friends who just went through this whole process to ask for their advice.  they said to call dr. p, so we did.  he basically said that in most cases, a little bleeding doesn't necessarily mean anything bad.  he said that it could be from many many different things, and so it wouldn't help anything to go to the ER.  he said that we would sit there for 3 hours, they would probably not be able to find anything on the ultrasound, and they would send me home and tell me to rest and drink lots of fluids.  so we thought about it, and we were still stressing about the whole thing.  so being the good listeners that we are, we went to the ER anyway.  :)  and i'm so glad we did!

our friends (mentioned above) have a friend who works in the hospital.  so they put us in contact with her.  she is awesome!  she was helpful and understanding and full of insights, since she also just went through this whole process!  they took my blood to test the hcg level and then did 2 different ultrasounds.  so long story short.... we are 6w3d pregnant with TWINS!!!  eeeeeeee!!!!  AND they both have VERY healthy heartbeats (123 bpm and 119 bpm).  AND they are both up "high", which we are told is a good thing.  AND my HCG was soo high that they had to dilute it even further and test it again, so we wont know the official number until tomorrow, but that is also a good thing!  so we got good news all around.  we went from being completely stressed, saddened, and worried... to being overjoyed, relieved, and thankful!  but now i'm exhausted!!  it is almost 2 am!  

TWINS!!!!  yayay!!!!!!!!!!  :) :) :) :)   i love them soo much already!  <3
