Two gestational sacs!
Two yolk sacs!
Each measuring five weeks, three days! (I am five weeks, five days, but I believe there is a margin of error, so surely this counts as appropriately sized?)
One fetal pole!
Both sacs pronounced “cute” by Certified Nurse Practitioner!
Tedious recounting (with pictures!) to come later.

Yay!!!! That is such fantastic news! Can’t wait for more details!
YESSSSSSSSSSS!
WA-HA-HOOEY! What wonderful, excellent, amazing news!! Congratulations! Congratulations! (That’s once for each baby.)
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!!!! I have goosebumps!!!!
Yay! YAY! You got a two-fer!
Man, sitting through those meetings is going to be interesting, but maybe wafting through them on a cloud of bliss will help.
WHOOOOOOOO!
YAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SO INCREDIBLY ECSTATIC FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!
WOW, congrats from a lurker, that all sounds great! Don’t worry about the measurement being a bit off, there is a lot of error at this stage. They always told that the measurement was + or - 2 days. Cheers!
Holy shit. I’ve been thinking about you all morning. This is so awesome Alexa.
Congratulations!
Fabulous!
Holy cow - AWESOME!! That’s really great news.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m thrilled for you! Yay!
And yes, there is a margin of error, anywhere from +/- 2 to 4 days, I think. Also, your OB’s office may not have as high-powered a machine as the RE (so you’ll get better measurements at your RE US)–I know that my last RE appointment the fetbryo measured 7w6d and we could see the rough outline of head and umbilical cord, but a few days later at the OB it measured 7w4d and was just a big blur.
Oh yay. Yay, yay, yay!
Woo!!!!!!
Oh my! Oh my! I’m so excited for you. Can’t wait to hear The Actually’s reaction!
YAYAYAYA! What awesome wonderful news! Cute indeed - they sound prefectly gorgeous. Congratulations. You definitely deserve a Klondike bar!

Holy shit, Alexa! That’s awesome.
Alexa, that’s super cool. 2X the coolness!
I almost yelled “YIPPEEE!” out loud at work. Not that I haven’t ever done other embarrassing things at work, but it makes the surfing hard to explain and all.
That is wonderful news.
De-lurking to join in the celebration!!!!!!! Woo hoo!!!! Congratulations!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I am so happy for you!!!
YEA! YEA! YEA!
YEAH!!! YEAH!!! Wonderful news, congrats!
Horray Congrats!!
HOLY SHIT!
Fabulous news! I’m thrilled for you, m’dear!
Wow… just WOW
:-)
Amazing!
yay! awesome news! sending tons of well wishes to you and those appropriately sized wee ones! yay!
PHEW - me nerves are shot after that.
really delighted for you
Wow, congratulations! I’m sure last night was the longest night EVER.
Freakin’ A! This is awesome news! I’m just a lurker (occasional commentor) but have been checking and rechecking this blog like an anxious Grandma to find out the news. I’m so thrilled!
Congrats!
Oh, my goodness! Thrilled for you, and hoping things continue to go well.
Long time lurker….
Just wanted to say I am thrilled for you. As I will be dining alone tonight, I will audibly raise a toast to you m’dear.
Congrats to you and Scott!
Yee haw! I think this calls for a celebratory drink! I’ll take care of that for you.
Woo hoo, I’m so excited for you! Way to stronghand them into giving you a sonogram…you’re my hero!
I’ll keep my fingers crossed…please keep posting updates so I don’t worry like hell over here. ;o)
Oh, how lovely. I hope the good news keeps coming and coming.
Holy Matching Yokes!
This is it!
This is it!
This is it!
Babies, there are two!
Another out-of-the-woodwork lurker here, to say congratulations (& congratulations again!) for the double-gestation. Even though I obviously don’t know you guys personally, I’m thrilled for you & Scott; you definitely deserve this after everything you’ve been through.
Yeah! That is awesome news!!!!
And thus the similarity ends…
Congratulations! I think the most important issue to address is, will Scott be able to have a pet crow, or does this plan now move to the back burner?
Congratulations, I am very happy for you!
WHOOOHOOOOOO!
The excitement is just beginning! I am so happy for you!
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!! And yay yay yay yay yay!!!
I’m going to go do a happy dance for you now - my coworkers already think I’m batty, so this won’t even faze them. :)
(I’m so effing happy for you right now!!)
YYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY!
Yowie Zowie!!! I am beyond thrilled for you! I’ll be grinning for the rest of today, at least!
YAY, Alexa.
EEEE! *claps*
SCHNOZZ! FEST! YOU’RE ALIVE!!!!
Oh, this made me feel so much better. You don’t even know.
It almost makes me forgive you for making me spell “pie” even though I was dying. Almost.
I can’t wait to see the pictures! We are sooooooo excited for you guys!
Oh My Gosh!! Congratulations!! I’m so excited for you!
:)

The margin of error is +/- three days with a TV scan in early preg.

From one interent stranger: Yes! That’s fabulous, amazing, great, stupendous news.
Sounds great!
WOW! and yes to your question, there is a margin, mine gave me plus or minus 3 days, so yours sound right on target! Now keep calm till the next scan :) :) :)
YAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!

AWESOME!
Wow. congratulations.
Whoohoo!!! Fabulous news! I love it. Seems to be a lot of twins afoot in blogland these days!

Carla
double WOW!!!!! that is fantastic!!!!!!!! I am thrilled for you!
This is the best news and totally made my day!
YAY! I am so happy for you guys! I will go have a celebratory glass of wine in your honor tonight, with a side of cheese :)
Can’t wait for the tedious recounting–yippee!
Congratulations!
I have been lurking. I actually made your blog one of my favorites so I could check up on you easily. Gee, that sounds stalker-ish. Not a stalker, just a Mom who is rooting for you. Best wishes!
Hooray! Congrats and good wishes!
Congratulations! You give us all hope!
Congratulations!
Holy mother of wow.
So excited for you!
FANTASTIC. :) :) :)
I knew it would be twins! Woo hoo! Congrats! Oh, and try not to worry about twins too much. They’re alot of work but worth it (most of the time LOL). Mine are 4 now and I survived (although I do have a nervous tick and drink too much).
That is fantastic news!! Try and keep relatively calm until your next u/s. Should be a piece of cake.
Twins are fantastic. Congratulations! Warning: You may Go Feral.
Fabulous!
And what extreme measures did you have to resort to, in order to get the u/s. Did you have to say please? ;-)
WOOHOO!!! Congrats on the doublemint twins! :)
Oh my god!! Congratulations Alexa!!!
YAAAYYY! So glad to hear it! Congratulations!
oooh, this is all so exciting… the wait for all the details is killing me!
Awesome!!!
Holy shit. I came over to give you some support because I’m sure the wait between AMAZING scan #1 (aka TwinFest ‘07) and the one with your RE is going to be long and exciting. But shit, people, you’ve got NINETY EIGHT freaking comments. Wait, after mine it will be 99.
I’m going to go ahead and give my virtual support anyway, but you’re basically the IF blog version of a crowd surfer right now with so, so many people holding you up. Wahoo!!
OMG! I just gasped at my computer screen! A gazillion congrats on the great news!
Where’s that tedious recounting you promised? Everything ok?
