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.

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!

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.

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.
