U/S at 8 weeks 3 days & Vanishing triplets

My u/s was scheduled for tomorrow, but they called me last night and asked me to come today (because his schedule for tomorrow was too busy). Baby is still small- measuring at 7 weeks 1 day, when he/she should be at 8 weeks 3 days. I was able to hear the heartbeat. RE also saw two additional small sacs and said they are either vanishing triplets or blood sacs. He didn't seem too worried and said my body should naturally absorb them.

Cathy: I've heard of the vanishing twin/triplet thing a few times. Much more common with ivf of course but too bad I'm sorry they all didn't make it :(
So what was baby measuring last u/s I forget? Heartbeat was great!! Your jelly bean is beautiful (:

Me: Last u/s it was only 4 days behind.

so beautiful Jess!! dont worry too much bubs has 7 months to catch up :)
Bonnie: how is ur pregnancy going hun? miss u xx

Cressie: Lovely scan pic !! :) congrats xxxx

Me: Still no morning sickness at all. I told the nurse that I wished I did have it, because it would be reassuring. The only symptoms I seem to have are the increased appetite and feeling easily tired.
Cathy: Jess even if baby was 4 days behind last time it's still grown a week since then so everything is fine!! Plus I saw you said heartbeat was in the 170's so I'm gonna say you got a healthy baby girl growing in you (:
Bonnie: how can u tell Cathy hun?
Me:  HR was 144
Ella: Dont be too worried about the size, its common in IVF, im still having ultrasounds to check the size and im 31weeks. It just means you'll get more scans :-) congratulations your pics are beautiful xoxo
Ella: The heart rate thing how does it work? Ours has been between 140-160 and weve been told its a boy, i hope they are right lol
Is there any other tricks to be able to tell?
Lisa: awe you little jelly bean is lovely, a nice heartbeat, i wouldnt worry about morning sickness, not everyone gets it, my mum didnt my sister inlaw found the smell of somethings (like lamb) made her queasy but that was it! Congratulations xo

Me: Elisha- my RE said the range is 120-160. Yours sounds perfect!!

Ella: Oooo cool :-) i was the same louise, i real wanted it, but other than feeling a little sick from 2 min noodle smell or kfc smell nothing. I got constant hungryness that drove me insane up till about 14 weeks. 

Cathy: Ok lower heartbeats are boys and higher heartbeats are girls... At least thats the old Wives tales ... lol worked for my babies (: Sorry Jessica I thought I saw 170 on your ivf pictures lol who knows what I was reading ... Haha have you seen the intelligender tests?? There's you tube videos of people doing them! I want to try when I'm finally preggy again (:

Me: Cathy- so with the hr at 144 (closer to mid range), what do you think I'm having??
Me: Ella- did you have an u/s where you saw the genitals?
Cathy: Hmmmm I'm gonna say a boy based on that!! That was my sons too (: The girls were over 160 (: What were you hoping for?
Me: I'm hoping for a girl:-)

Ella: Weve been told by 3 different people that its a boy, but i have a friend that was told she was having a boy and it ended up being a girl lol we have another ultrasound this saturday so im gunna ask again then. But hopefully i dont get a grumpy lady again and i hope that im able to see the baby as last time i couldnt see anything cause she wouldnt turn the screen

Mary: I've heard the same wives tale about heartrates, anything over 160 is a girl, under is a boy ... worked for our daughter's she was always fast, this current little one (I'm 22 weeks) was 120beats last week ... I have always thought this one... was a boy but I don't know the gender. We also had a midife cause a huge flurry as this baby (Pickles) was scanning a week bigger than it should have at 11 weeks, she kept telling me my dates were wrong "Love it's an IVF baby, not only can I tell yo uthe dates, but I could almost tell you the time this baby was conceived " .. she was a numnut, at our last scan baby was back to the usual range, & a far more sensible specialist said difference in sizes of babies 'is just the normal variance' - a good heartbeat & continual growth is better than only sticking to charts. Good luck, I hope your belly camper continues to thrive xoxo

Connie: Awesome!!!! Your baby is beautiful! 

Connie: So Jess did you have 2 or 3 transferred? Don't worry about size as long as they say things are sounding good and look good every baby and woman is different! I have the same tired thing and hungry!!! No sicky yet except certain smells sometimes.

Me:  I had 3 transferred. Cathy, I was wondering how you're doing with the excitement! When is your next blood test? 

Me:  Ella- I can't believe she wouldn't turn the screen! That is just cruel :-(

Cathy: Cassie smells are so bad .... When we drywalled our garage and cleaned it up we found my husbands Hugo boss construction work cologne ( haha lol) in the garage cuz last summer when I was pregnant I hated all smells !! Especially cologne! lol I also thought my husband poisoned my peanut butter cuz it tasted funny to me... lol 

Cathy: Ohhh and Mary I love the belly camper lol that's hilarious (:

Me: Ditto to belly camper :-)

Connie: ‎@ Jessica- I am super excited still, but kind of surreal! I can't wait, I go for bloodwork tomorrow to see if my numbers are doubling! And they will do prenatal screening for my blood as well, whatever that means!

Ella: Lol belly camper is awesome lol love it.  Remember with an ultra sound you can have one person do it and tell you its behind then can have someone else do it and tell you its fine, they all measure things different and allow a 2week error ga...p.  Im so excited what a good little strong heart your little munchkin has.
Smells are the worst lol i still cant handle my husbands body spray, car air freshners, and red meat, the constant hungryness is not as bad now but i will never laugh at cravings as they do exist, mine has been for racing car lollies and choc mint ice cream mmmm yummy sounds so good. The dreams are weird (barney the dinosaur tried to kill me lol) and pregnancy brain does exist too, dont put ur mobile in the freezer and ur ice cream in the pantry, they both wont do so well lol.  Ooo cant wait to hear ur updates :-) such wonderful news xoxoxo
Me: Ella- I just had a vision of Barney chasing you..lol! Thank you for your good thoughts :-)
