Hi all!
So, I went to the doctor today. This was a long, but interesting visit! First, we met with the genetic counselor. She asked us all kinds of questions about our parents, siblings, nieces, and nephews. She was drawing a little diagram and every time we'd answer she would add to it. I have no clue what she was doing, but it was neat! She informed us that we are very boring, which is what they want to see.
Then, we did a neuchal translucency
Click on the link to see what all they're looking for, but the babies passed with flying colors! Their neck fold measurements were all between 1.5 and 1.8, which was perfect, so no chromosomal abnormalities here!!!
Here are the pictures of the little "pumpkins" as the tech kept referring to them...
13 Week Stats are as follows:
A 164 bmp, measured 13 weeks 1 day
B 155 bpm, measured 13 weeks 6 days (overachiever!)
C 151 bpm, measured 13 weeks 5 days
It was so funny watching them all. C is going to be ornery! When the tech was trying to measure their neck folds they had to be in a certain position and C would not cooperate. He was flipping all around. He'd pause for a second, then she'd try to click on him and he'd flip again. One time, I swear he paused, waved at us, and flipped again!
Here he is from the front, posin' for the camera just like his mama!
They were all moving around, stretching, flailing their arms and legs, and drinking the amniotic fluid. So crazy to see! I think B was sucking her thumb, but I couldn't tell for sure. Also, the twins were fighting for air time. When she'd try to take an image of one, the other one would pop their head in! I think I'm going to have my hands full! I mean, I'm only having 3 babies, I have no clue where I'd get that idea!!!
Sooooooo I'm now referring to them as him and her! The tech made some predictions based on what she could and couldn't see. The twins (A&B) did not have anything protruding down there, so she guessed they are girls. C did have a little something, but the chord was also right there, so she couldn't say for sure, but thought that was a boy. I go back on the 28th and she said they should for sure be able to tell then! I can not wait!
Here is the 12 week baby bump
I feel like I'm getting bigger and bigger each day and have gained 8 pounds now!!!
I've been feeling MUCH better. I think I'm past the icky period. I really haven't felt nauseous or thrown up in a couple of weeks! I've been having unbearale headaches though. I had accupuncture done on Monday and they've been gone ever since then I had a slight one today today, so hopefully they won't continue!
I hope you all enjoyed your 4th of July holiday. I go back to the doctor on the 28th and will update again then.
I do need to thank my sister, Christina for the cute blog background that I now have. I have no idea how she did it, but I love it! Since I am the trendsetter in the family and my sisters always have to do what I do(can't wait to hear what they have to say about that:), they both their own blogs too! I think they're pretty funny, so check them out. They're under my favorite blogs. Luciandme and ObladiObLAblog.
