baby time, times 2!

Well, finally..the cats outta the bag! I have been anxiously awaiting the time when we could share our excitement with everyone. So, everyone that I have avoided talking to in the last couple of months..thats why! Im sorry ;)

So, here is our beginning...after a much too long wait (the simple version), we found out that we were pregnant on November 7th. We were very cautious about it for a while, not to get to excited. Our numbers were so great though, it was hard to not be thrilled. I decided that I would start being excited after the 1st ultrasound...well excitement was an understatement. We found out on the 1st Ultrasound we were expecting triplets!! 

We were slightly overwhelmed, but we have wanted a little one for a while, and the thought of more than one was a blessing. The doctors on the other hand were pretty concerned, and let us know what to expect..early bed rest, pre term delivery, tiny babies in incubators, kind of daunting to think about in all of our excitement. 

We went through the holidays and it took a while until our next doctor visit, with my new OB at the Maternal Fetal Medicine (high risk) office at EVMS in Norfolk. 

When we did get to see our doctor, we really liked him. Very smart and full of info. As well as eager to answer every question I had. 

We made the plans that we were gonna see him every 2-3 weeks. 

When we saw him for our 12 week appointment, we learned that one of the little ones didn't make it. 

We were very sad for our loss, but found comfort in the fact that the other two looked great, and they would have a much easier time thriving. 

Our doctor was very relieved, and believes that now this pregnancy is only slightly higher risk that a regular pregnancy. 

We had an appointment last Thursday, and the two babies have grown so much, it really is amazing! While I was laying there on the table getting the ultrasound, it really hit me that what I was seeing on the screen was growing inside of me....words can't describe :) 

The ultrasound tech was so funny, and she loved every second of it as much as we did, she said I scanned great, and the babies were being really active. 

One of them (baby A) was being a ham, and the ultrsound tech was about 99.9 % sure that its a boy! He was not shy! He faced us the whole time, but B (who she thinks is a boy too!) was more reserved...facing the other way and crossing his legs, haha

We will know the sexes for sure on our next visit on Valentines! 

Otherwise, Im feeling great now, it's true what they say that the second trimester is much better.  No more nausea, vomiting, more energy...Im really starting to enjoy it! 


More soon!
