double surprise!

we went to our 2nd ultrasound so nervous. 
a lot can happen in one week. 
our hopes for this ultrasound were...
to still have a beating little heart. 
and if we did still have a heartbeat, that it would be up in the 120's
and
we wanted to see the hemorrhage shrinking.

well we had good new... our beating little heart was still there and up at 132! excellent news!
now as for the hemorrhage. well, we found out that it was defiantly NOT just a hemorrhage.
it was in fact a second baby. they referred to it was a vanishing twin.
there were a lot of mixed emotions about that. 
it's exciting to think that my body could possibly make twins but at the same time that's very scary.

all in all, it was a really good day!

you can hardly see that little tiny valiant heart beating away but
 i'll assure you by the way i'm feel that its there!
our bag of good news tricks!
