It took the ultrasound tech about 20 minutes to get all the good shots of our babies. She had to take three times the pictures of the heartbeat, the head size, the tummy size, the femur size and the portrait pictures, not to mention the together pictures of the babies (the best she could do). It was so excited to see my babies on the screen. One plus to having multiples is lots and lots of ultrasounds.
Dr. Silver gave us a run down of lots of possibilities and potential problems that we need to be prepared for during this pregnancy. Because we have an amazing doctor and we have been reading lots of information on the internet and in good books, nothing he said came as a surprise and we had already talked and discussed many scenarios. Brian and I have weird pillow talk. :) He told us to be mindful of hospitalization bedrest, bedrest, gestastional diabetes, toxemia, preterm labor, early labor and a c-section. He also reiterated the necesacity to basically ignore our due date and pay attention to my body and what it and the babies are telling me to do. He also mentioned that he could not tell for sure if they were identical twins or not but not to rule out identical triplets...not sure how that works but WOW!!
He said that ALL the babies looked good. All the babies were measuring at 14 weeks 1 day, which is right on schedule seeing as to how I am currently 14 weeks 1 day pregnant. :) Heartbeats were all strong and one baby, BABY C was very chill and relaxed in its own little sac. Just sprawled out and enjoying the scenery. BABY A and BABY B were kicking and punching each other, which is what I would expect.

I am so excited to meet my babies. I was hoping to find out the genders, but Dr. Silver said that they are not only too little, there isn't a lot of space for them to be showing off their goods. :)
We have another ultrasound in two weeks and another in five weeks. Hopefully one of these two additional ultrasounds will tell us the genders. Fingers crossed.
