triplets ultrasound

Tuesday, February 12, 2008

Well, our appointment finally got here. They said the trio all look great. They are growing just how they should and their little heartrates are good. Unfortunately, they do think baby B and C are in the same sac. :P That makes things more complicated since they can tangle their cords together or get tangled themselves. We are crossing our fingers that they aren't playing jump rope in there. Although on the ultrasound, B and C look like they were waving their arms at eachother like Frankenstein. With 3 in there they had quite a time getting everyone to behave and give them a view of everything they needed to see. At one point we had 3 techs and the doc in the room at once. We are popular. The first tech asked, "So, is this from IVF or fertility medicines?" She was shocked to find we are all-natural triplets. She had never seen it before. We go back in a month for another ultrasound and checkup. I hope to keep feeling good and having good appointments. The doc said he would love for me to make it to 36 weeks but he seemed doubtful. We will hold out as long as we can to keep 'em in the oven!

Here are some pics from the ultrasound http://s183.photobucket.com/albums/x175/womachka/february/

Ella and the girls are doing great! Holly and Bridgette are between activities right now and have been a huge help with Ella and around the house. I've been really tired lately, but they have really been pitching in to keep things running smooth. Ella is army-crawling everywhere. One of her favorite things is crawling over to Boo and patting/pulling ears/finger up nose/lay her head on/play with her tail. Boo just lays there and tries to lick Ella when she thinks we aren't looking. She must think Ella's a puppy. Ella is at a really delightful age... except for the shrieking when she's tired. That's less than delightful. But it makes you appreciate when she's happy more.

Much love from us, don't get lost in a snowdrift,
