We're expecting #'s 2, 3, and 4!

We had our first Dr. appointment on Jan. 13th. He said I was measuring bigger than 10 1/2 weeks and asked if it was possible I was further along than I thought. I was sure I wasn't and during the fetal hearbeat, he consistently found heart beats on both sides. He referred us to the hospital for an ultrasound for possible twins.

The radiologist immediately told us there were definately two. As she moved to the other far side, I saw another circle way over there. I asked if there were for sure only two. She assured us that, yes, there were two. Then, "wait a minute," she counted from right to left and then said, "nope, there are three." She measured the heartbeat on each one and said they were all kicking. I was exactly 11 weeks at the ultrasound and two measured 11 wks 4 days and one measured 11 wks 3 days. She said it's very good that they are all measuring big enough and the same size.

So we're having triplets. I'm due August 5th. The doctor said we'll aim to deliver between 30 and 36 weeks, hopefully toward the latter. That puts us at mid June to the beginning of July. Here's the ultrasound of all three babies. They're all fraternal, with their own amniotic sack and placenta. We'll post more pictures as they get bigger. We'll be having regular ultrasounds so that should be fun!
