8 week sono and belly shot

Good news! We had our 8 week sono today and all the babies look perfect! They all have good, similar heart beats...and are all measuring close in size. Everything else looks great... Cervix looks good, the fluid that was showing up in the last sono is now gone, there is no sign of a hematoma... I have also been worried that there may be another baby hidden in there, but after having three different people do my sonograms since I found out I am pregnant, it has been confirmed that there are only three... ONLY three?!? Isn't that the under-statement of the year? We had our consultation with the doctor and we were able to get all of our questions answered, so that was a huge load off. She told us we are shooting for 32 weeks. I had read online, that the average triplet pregnancy is 35 weeks, so I was a little shocked when she said we are shooting for 3 weeks earlier than I originally anticipated. Yikes! Obviously, she would love for me to go 35 or 36 weeks, but that isn't likely, so our realistic goal will be 32 weeks.

Our sono pictures look about the same as the previous pictures, but I thought you might like to see them anyway. This is baby A at the bottom of the pile. She said a lot of times this baby is the most demanding. Interesting...


The baby on the right is baby B, and the baby on the far left is baby C.

Now, for the updated belly shot... You have to let me know if you can tell a difference. I can see...well feel, a drastic difference. I have only gained two pounds, but it is amazing how much you can feel two pounds in your clothes, although I can see a little change as well. Granted, this picture was taken more up close, so it may be hard to compare.

I go back in two weeks, so I will have more pictures and updates for you then, but I will continue to keep you updated on everything else from now and then. Again, thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers. The love and support we have received has been such a blessing to us.
