Jamie, 33, shared a photo of herself and Doug, 35, embracing while holding a photo of their ultrasound. "After 18 months & 2 losses, WE *FINALLY* HAVE A VIABLE PREGNANCY!!!! My fertility appointment went so well! The doc saw a growing amniotic sac and yolk sac! My hcg levels are now 11,453.1 & progesterone is off the charts reading >60 (!!!) which essentially just means everything is going smoothly!" she wrote to her 404,000 followers.

She continued, "We still don’t have a due date other than May, but the doctor said next week he should be able to tell us what our exact due date is ... and we should be able to hear a heartbeat by then too! In other news, it definitely doesn’t seem like twins so much anymore because there is only one amniotic sac/yolk sac — UNLESS they’re identical!!!! My HCG is higher than average for about 5 weeks along so there is still a glimmer of hope! But either way — we are obvs HAPPY with 1, 2, or 10 babies! Just hoping for HEALTHY!"
