Hello! Today was the all important 12 week ultrasound and everything was great! The fetuses are all measuring about 2.5 inches and their hearts are beating strong. They also like to wiggle around a lot which created some challenges for the very patient ultrasound tech. (With three fetuses to measure, it took about 90 minutes.)

Baby Update #2 – 10w1d
Good morning! I’m 10w1d today and we went for another ultrasound this morning. The u/s tech told us that everything looks exactly as she’d want it to at this point in the pregnancy. The heartbeats are great and they are wiggling around in there!
I’ve attached a few new photos – close ups of each and one group shot. 🙂
I’m feeling okay. Tired and nauseous but plugging along and eating as much protein as I can to help A, B & C grow big & strong.
Baby Update #1 – 8w2d
Hi family! To keep everyone updated, we’ll send out updates every few weeks and share any new photos of the (THREE) babies growing inside me.
As you know, it’s still early but things look good. Yesterday I saw the specialists who’ll manage my pregnancy. They specialize in high-risk pregnancies and multiples and know how to help us get to term.
My technical due date is 3/10/14 but the goal is to get to at least 32 weeks. If by lucky chance I go longer, they’ll deliver me at 35 weeks. This means we should expect the babies sometime in January; the later, the better. We can also expect some or all of the babies to spend time in the nicu. That’s totally normal and we’re delivering at a great hospital.
Our next ultrasound is at 10w1d on Tuesday, 8/12 when we hope to, again, see 3 healthy, thriving fetuses.
I’m doing ok. Still a bit of nausea that’s mostly managed with (fetus safe) medication. I’m exhausted but that’s also to be expected. And I’m on my way toward gaining 40-50 pounds!
Just a reminder to continue to keep the news under wraps. Here’s a photo from yesterday!
