May 19, 2011 Pregnant with Triplets

Tomorrow I will hit 13 weeks.  All are doing well and are so much fun to watch.  On Tuesday we tried to take a peek to see what each was, but they were not cooperating.  I feel that I will start feeling them move in a couple of weeks.  They are now or will be three inches long, crown lump length.  That means 9+ inches of baby.  My uterus is just below my bellybutton.  I am feeling good other than tired.  I am working at gaining weight.

On another note, we have eight days of school left.  I am then headed to Chicago, first time, and then Maine.  These two trips will be the last for a while.

12 weeks Pregnant, May 14, 2011

I stopped the Crinone gel last Friday.  Everything is going well.  I think I am a little less tired.

Tuesday's scan went well.  They saw a nasal bone and did the nuchal assessment.  Our skin thickness was something like .1 or .7.  It needed to be far away from 2.5 mm. 

I can feel my uterus growing and I am slowly gaining weight.  I was told to gain another 10lbs in the next 9 weeks.  That should put my goal around 144 by week 20.

May 6, 2011 11 Weeks Pregnant with Triplets

Today I am 11 weeks pregnant with triplets.  A couple of days ago I watched the fraternal twin's feet walking up the sac and then pushing off, twice!  Today they were all moving around.  It is amazing.  They are only about 1.5 inches long.  For the first time today the identical set look like they were sharing a sac.  We are hoping that they are not since that is very, very risky.  On Tuesday I go for my first maternal-fetal medicine appointment.  They are going to look each baby over for 30 minutes and I suppose assess our risks. 

Once again, all I can think about it is please just give us healthy babies.
