Our first visit to the specialist

Today we had a consult with Dr. Chapman. She is a high-risk OB with the Maternal Fetal group at the Greenville Hospital. I really liked her a lot. (Interestingly enough, she is the daughter of Gary Chapman a Christan author who has written several books including The Five Love Languages.) She went over my medical history and talked about potential problems with a triplet pregnancy and how they will monitor me. I go back to that group on May 30 and will have my first ultrasound to measure and check my cervix. We are also hoping they will be able to tell us something about the genders then. I will almost be 17 weeks at that point. It may still be a little to early. . .but we can hope for the best! From that point on, for the next six or seven weeks, I will go in for an ultrasound each week to check on how my cervix is doing.

I am still feeling really good overall. I have a miserable cold right now that is totally wiping me out. But, I really haven't had too many other complaints except for an occasional headache. I am beginning to show and can only imagine how big I will be in the end! I have an appointment in a week with my regular OB and will post again after that. Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and prayers!
