Back to the babies. Last week we had a gender scan, and as most know, we were told THREE BOYS! Woohoo, we were so excited. After having two girls and pink filled lives, I was more than happy to bring some blue into the mix. I was a little sad that all my baby stuff would go to waste though...who wants three babies and have to start over completely from scratch?! It made our announcement easy though because we only needed one color. For anyone who didn't see it, here you go!
So today, at 15 weeks 1 day, we had an appointment with our MFM which always includes an ultrasound. I have to say, one of the coolest things about having three babies is getting that ultrasound every couple of weeks and watching them grow. Obviously this isn't something you get with a singleton pregnancy...and while the millions of doctor appointments can sometimes be a bit overwhelming, as can laying there for over an hour, it is such a blessing to be able to experience watching your babies grow in-utero.
All the babies looked great. Baby A and B were a whopping 4 ounces (ha) and Baby C weighed in at 5 ounces. There was a mix-up in our appointment time so we had a quick ultrasound, but the tech offered to check genders. We told her we were having 3 boys per the 3D ultrasound place we went to. She smiled, peeked at Baby A....and Baby A was definitely NOT a boy. Naturally this made me anxious to check the rest, as all I could see were three girls in my head. Thankfully, Baby B and Baby C appear to remain boys as we initially thought.
I thought about just sharing the news, but our first announcement was so cute I felt like it would be silly to let my creative juices go to waste. Unfortunately, it was cold and pictures outdoors didn't sound appeasing. So, I did what any pregnant girl might do and I resorted to food. Cake to be exact.
When it comes time for maternity pictures I will have more fun with my creative juices. I don't know if I feel bad for my photographer because I already have all these ideas of what I want but can't take myself, or maybe I will just make their life super easy? I usually step back and let them lead but this time I am like "Ooh, I want to try this. And try that!"....darn pinterest!
What else. Well, I am finally feeling some movement in there. Not too often, but here and there. Especially during our ultrasound. I initially lost 8 pounds, but have gained 2 of those back as of today (Only 50 more to go! Yay!) My appetite seems to be returning, although eating large portions doesn't work too great despite the fact I sometimes I want to scarf my face and eat everything in sight!
I am experience some horrible hip pain, and thankfully a chiropractor seems to be helping that. Between my hips an the fact I can't walk up the stairs without being out of breathe, I am certainly feeling this pregnancy and very early. Despite the aches and pains, I am going to try and enjoy every single second as this will be my last pregnancy and the last time I get to grow my babies. And of course they are worth every wince. :)
So here we go, chugging along. I will try to update more and not be such a slacker. I am trying to keep busy and active while I still can, as I know over the next few weeks I will slowly become more immobile.
