15 1/2 weeks and Contracting

Yesterday, was an awful day I started to have contractions and they persisted through the night only to get to the point of the pain being so bad that it made me vomit! So as soon as the clinic opened this morning I had a call in to the doctors nurse and we went from there. She called back a few minuets later and decided that the best thing to do was to be seen in the ER. Heath loaded up the kids and off we went. I got to the ER and did all my fun check in stuff and then was called back pretty much right away. I was hooked up to an IV and they tried to use a Doppler to find both babies heart tones but no luck at all with that. I was then given an Ultrasound to make sure that both babies where safe and sound which was good because at that point I was freaking out. I had never experienced the pain and tightening that I was feeling and it was getting to the point of worry. The Ultrasound confirmed that both Twin A and Twin B were in great shape and thriving more than ever... We also found out the SEX of both babies, I really didn't want to know but I could not be happier now knowing! I was feeling better just knowing that both of them were okay and in no danger. My contractions were due to dehydration and over activity. They began to get better as the more fluid was being pumped into my body... Thank goodness. I will be following up with my regular doc on Wed. just to make sure that everything is still okay. Here are the recent pics of the twins from today............
