3rd Ultrasound and released to the OB!

We had our third ultrasound yesterday (10 weeks, 2 days)! I can't believe how much these little babies grow each time we see them (it has been every two weeks). They both are measuring great with very strong heartbeats, which we got to hear again. One of them was moving around like crazy on the screen, but the other was much more relaxed. B says he likes the relaxed one more. LOL One of them wasn't cooperating with the camera very much so we didn't get as good of a picture this time. BUT one part of the picture was truly amazing to me...you can see little toes and fingers already! Take a look at the baby on the right. At the bottom of the sac you can see the leg and little toes. Amazing! In reality, the babies are about the size of a small plum right now.

One of the other exciting things that happened yesterday is that we were released from the fertility clinic to a regular doctor for the rest of the pregnancy. I feel like a normal person now! It feels like a milestone to be saying goodbye to the clinic. One of the neat things is that going into this I think our Dr. was a little unsure of it all because it's not like they do surrogacy cases regularly (it's still pretty rare)...but because of our great success he asked yesterday where he can find more surrogates like J for other patients who need them. :)

We have our first midwife appointment on Tuesday. J's insurance requires that everyone see a midwife first and then if you need a referral for high risk pregnancies she would do it then. We assume we will get to see an OB given that twins are usually considered high risk. I have no idea what will happen at that appointment but I'm excited because it's so soon!
