Adrienne and Steven plus........

Triplets!!! Yes you read that right, there are three babies:) Not exactly what we planned but a welcomed surprise after I quit crying of course(lovely hormones). The shock is beginning to wear off but the worries are tripled.

For those of you wondering how this happened we did an invitro procedure. When we did the procedure we only had three good embryos so the doctor asked if we wanted to implant all three or freeze one. Well we didn't know what to do so we asked the doctor what he thought. And I quote the doctor "we might as well do all three and you will be lucky if you get one". Well knowing as many people as we do that have tried IVF multiple times we thought our chance of even getting pregnant on the first try was very unlikely so we went with what the doctor said. Once we found out that we were pregnant I prayed that we would have twins but never thought that triplets would even be possible. Boy was I fooled! We are 12 weeks today and everything seems to be going good. All three babies are moving like crazy, not that I can feel it yet but I've had enough ultrasounds to see them. Just so they know as they get bigger they are going to have to cut that business out, I'm sure they will be good little babies and mind my every request;) It will be a few more weeks before we know the sex of the babies but we will definitely find out if we can. This will be our one and only shot so we are hoping for at least one boy and one girl so stay tuned for that announcement.
