The ultrasound was perfect. Obviously both Science Babies are extremely talented and advanced, because they grew nine and eight days (respectively) in the six days since the last scan. Both are now measuring seven weeks and two days (I am 7w4d) and their heart rates were a robust 158 and 156. I am limp as a noodle from relief, and suffused with a dopey joy.
No time to post more–it is Scott’s birthday and time for cake!
Alive, Alive-O!

I am so glad everything is going perfectly with the babies! Happy Birthday to Scott – have lots of fun and celebrate!
I’m so damned happy for you, I just… I don’t know. That’s all. Just so happy.
Awesome!
oh yay yay yay! i can admit now that i was the teeniest bit scared after the last ultrasound. guess there’s something to the +/- 1 week in accuracy thing. probably also it depends on the machine and the tech doing the measuring. who cares why?! couldn’t be happier for you now!
WOOHOO!!! Great news!
Fabulous! Fabulous! Two fabulouss for the science babies. So happy for you, Alexa. And a very happy birthday to Scott.
yay, yay, yay! That’s a nice birthday present, if I ever heard one :-)
Fantastic
Science babies are full of awesome!
Great news, and great birthday present for Scott!
Alexa, that is absolutely wonderful news. :)
I’m thrilled to hear the Science Babies are doing what they’re told!
J
Great news! YAY!
(and probably a better ultrasound machine too)
OMG OMG OMG!!!
I love this news! I will be holding my breath for about the next 20 weeks on your behalf. This is so great!
HOORAY!!!!
Is it silly that I’m crying… I have PCOS and have had multiple miscarriages. I had all the signs with of a miscarriage with this pregnancy and they told me my embryo only had a 20% chance but at 27 weeks she’s kicking me in the bladder all the time and my risk is completely gone.
I’ve been thinking of you all the time and keeping my fingers crossed, I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!!
Hooray for science babies! They clearly need little capes and tights. :)
Grow Science Babies, Grow!
What great news!!
So far so good, glad to hear it :) XXX
Great birthday present! Glad it all went well and you can breathe!
Hope the cake was good ;)
oh holy hallelujah. i am ecstatic, thrilled, overjoyed, delighted, and so so so so happy for you all. YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!
What a happy birthday present for both Scott AND you! Congratulations times two–Yay for Science Babies!
What a great birthday present. And I think this means you get to eat three pieces of cake.
That is FANTASTIC news!!! And now you’re off the hook for Scott’s birthday. Because what better present could he possibly get?
Hooray!!!!
So excited to hear you received more fabulous news! Sounds like you’re building some super babies!
That’s wonderful news! Go eat more cake.
I think that after that you totally deserve cake.
That is very good news! I hope you fed them cake for a job well done!
Woo hooooooooo! SO excited for you!
Happy birthday to your sweetie!
Congratulations! Enjoy the cake. :)
another hurdle deftly cleared, hurrah! that is great, and I am pleased with the reference to Dublin folk songs, which makes me feel important: Crying “cockles and mussels (or in this case, Science babies) alive alive-o!”
Congratulations!
Are you going to call them cockles and mussels then? See there, nothing to worry about (heh, heh).
Happy Birthday Scott – I can’t believe you skipped the important stuff – what kind of cake?
Well crap, someone else referenced the effing song – how humiliating!
That’s great! I’m extra-impressed that they grew 8 and 9 days over 6 days. I hope your two and my one little munchkin keep doing what they are supposed to!
********HOORAY!**********
Sending, you, much, jubilation, and, excessive, comma use!
YES! Wonderful news!!
yea! alive! alive!
such a great birthday gift!
WOWOWOW!! And what a great excuse to eat triple the amount of cake you might ordinarily. Happy Birthday to Scott and congratulations to you both!
Hooray!
Happy day! Enjoy the birthday and the science babies! And get some rest…you’re going to need it!
Happy happy, joy joy =>
So, uh, any more sex dreams..?
