3 Little Gummy Bears :)

We are ecstatic after our 9 week appointment today. Everything looked perfect on the ultrasound. They are all measuring very close (9wk0d, 8wk6d, 8wk5d) which the OB said is perfect, and their heartrates were all excellent (171, 167, 162). There are also still only 3 babies (thank God!) and all are in separate sacs which is best case scenario for high order multiples. On the screen we could see their little heads, arm and leg buds, and they looked just like little gummy bears! They were even wiggling around a little bit. I will post pics but they are not as clear as watching the screen. Nothing compares to the joy and relief we felt at seeing them thriving and hearing their heartbeats and I'm sure it will feel this way each time we get to see/hear them. My OB  said he would be contacting the perinatologist "before too long" to determine when she wants to see me, and said she will outline a care plan that everyone will follow after she meets with us.

It is nice walking into the OB office. This was only our second visit and already all of the staff knows we are the triplet parents and gathers around to check out our ultrasound pics and they have all been so nice. Praying that the good news will continue and we can't wait to watch our babies grow! We go back in 2 weeks on 9/13 but at that appointment the OB will just try to find their heartbeats with a portable ultrasound, so at least we will have the peace of mind hearing them even if we don't see them. I can't believe they will most likely be here in less than 6 months!! We have so much planning to do before then! Thanks for the continued prayers :)

PS I am going to try out a weekly prenatal yoga class that starts tonight for an 8 week session. Will post on how it goes and try to get Brent to get a 9 week belly picture tonight! :)
