It's Soaking In!

I just wanted to pop in and let you know that we are very excited, but I have to tell you the all day morning sickness is definitely x3! It is even keeping me up during the night. I have been trying every remedy I can think of and that has been suggested. Just wanted you to know I am still here.

We had a great phone conversation with Dr. K last week. Triplets happen less than 4% of the time at the NEDC. They haven't had triplets in over a year. This cycle? There are 2 of us! I have already made contact with the other mom and she is super sweet and I look forward to walking through this journey together. Back to Dr. K...He said that he feels that our small embryo did not make it and that one of the other 2 blasts split into identical twins and the other blast implanted. He said we would know come birth day. 

My due date is June 7, but from what I have read, triplets normally come between 32-34 weeks. We have another u/s at nine weeks. I turned 7 weeks today. Dr. K wants me to see the perinatologist for that u/s. He also wants me to have my thyroid tested this coming week. I haven't had any thyroid issues at all since postpartum with Elizabeth, but I am sure it is wise to check my levels. 

That is about all I can muster to update for now! We do appreciate all of the congratulations and support. This will be a journey I will love to have you all join us on!

hugs & good night!!!

The Results Are In...

We had our ultrasound today. Today is 6w4d.  I will give many more details later, but for now here are our latest baby pics to share. ENJOY!!

We are pleased to introduce to you:

Baby A

7mm HB 125

measuring 6w4d

Baby B

6.5mm HB 127

measuring 6w4d

AND...

Baby C

8mm HB 128

measuring 6w5d

All are measuring on schedule or ahead. All look very strong and have their own placentas. We are in shock, but in awe of our mighty Lord and the amazing gifts he has bestowed upon our family.

6w2d

symptoms: no change. : )

Nothing new really. Waiting for our little old town pharmacy to find Estrace. It's not like there is a shortage of it, but they act like it's a controlled narcotic or something. They can "release" 20 tablets to me today and then I can call in for some more! lol!

2 MORE DAYS UNTIL THE ULTRASOUND!!!!!!!

This has been a lot longer it seems than the 2ww after the transfer? We have been praying that all three little ones have survived, but we know that the probability of that would be slim, BUT we also know our Lord is way beyond and way above statistics. All that said, what is your hunch (for fun of course)?

For review:

• FET 1 hatching 6AA blast, 1 hatching 6BA blast, 1 expanding 3BC blast
• 3dp5dt 1st +HPT
• Beta 11dp5dt  829
• Beta 13dp5dt  2,033

So what are y'all thinking? Singleton, Twins, or Triplets?

Wednesday morning is showtime!

5w6d

Symptoms: The queasiness is here all day long. Smells of any kind can "get" me. It could even be a pleasant smell to most people, but to me these days, uh, no. Clothes aren't fitting anymore.


I think it is official, last night will be the last time I handle, prep, or cook raw poultry until my second trimester when the morning sickness is gone. I couldn't even eat the chicken soup that sounded so good before I started to make it. They all loved it and had seconds. Me? I ate cheese nachos.

I am going to try a few different remedies for the morning sickness this time around, but honestly, nothing has worked in the past. It is just part of the territory! : )


I will leave you with Sarah's idea of a redneck stroller for her stuffed flamingo.

See what happens when I leave the room for a very short time??
