Matthew Glen, Andrew Kyes and Anna Kate

We went to the specialist on Friday and the ultrasound tech saw two boys and a girl! :-) Right now, Matthew and Andrew are back to back on the bottom and the Anna Kate is moving around on top. We were a little worried at first. Last week, the tech started on the left and the first baby she came to was a girl. This week, she started in the same spot and came to a boy first. My cervix looked good, but they want to continue to monitor me every week. That now makes sense, since we know how they are positioned! Our next appointment is this Thursday.

Looks Like a Mix

We went back to the OB yesterday and had another ultrasound. Everything looked good! The first thing they checked was the heartbeats. They had all slowed down from two weeks ago, but they said that was normal. We asked the tech to see if she could tell gender. She has been doing this 13 years and said she was at least 75% sure of what she saw. . . .two boys and a girl! We are very excited and hope to hear the same thing when we go to the specialist next week. They started checking my cervix and that looked good to! I go back to the High Risk group next Friday.

First Shower

Well, I must say that when I started this blog, I thought I would be better at keeping up with it! I apologize to those who check it often and are disappointed :-).

We had an OB visit last week and everything looked good. They did an ultrasound-but no one was cooperating and they couldn't tell any genders. It was still pretty early, but we were hoping to see something! The ultrasound tech did tell us that all of the heart beats were "fast" which according to the old wives tale means they are girls. One baby was 155 and the other two were 157. I am not relying on that and am still hoping for at least one boy. But, of course we will consider ourselves blessed with whatever the Lord has for us.

We go back one week from today and they are going to do another ultrasound. We are really hoping to see something then!

I am not 100%, but I think I felt a baby (or two) move today. It is very exciting. I am showing now and have been told that I am starting to waddle. I think that is more from some hip pain than my size! Besides the hip and back pain, I think I am doing great!

I have four weeks left in the school year. This is a very busy time and I pray that I will continue to feel good so that I can wrap up all of my lose ends before the school year is over. We are in the middle of State Testing-which makes for busy days.

We had a baby shower at the school yesterday. There are six of us who are expecting. Everyone at the school was so generous, and they did a wonderful job making each of us feel special. We were blessed with many gift cards to Babies R Us and lots of other useful baby "stuff". We are shopping the sales and stocking up on what we can. Hopefully in a week, we will have some more direction regarding colors etc!
