Well, it's official...

We got the final full chromosome reports back for all 3 babies and first off let me say how thankful we are that they are all completly normal (well I guess that is relative with us being the parents). I can also now say with 100% certainty that we will be welcoming into the world:

1 GIRL and
2 BOYS

I now just have to wait to meet them, and this becomes harder by the day. I would prefer they be well-done and not rare though.

So... this is what it feels like to simultaneously have 2 vaginas, 2 penises, and 4 balls.

Weird.

Just hangin' about

Here is the latest 3-D image we have from several days ago. It almost seems like abstract art or some Matisse print:












Triplet A is head down on the bottom right. Triplet B is head down (partly cut off) on the bottom left, and Triplet C is head up on the top right. They each have their own sac and you can kind of see that diferentiation as well. I feel like some carnie worker/freak show.

What a glorious day!!!

Triplet B is absolutely normal (well with at least 95% certainty)!!!

Triplet B is also a GIRL!!!

We won't know the other 2 sexes until we get the full results back in about 7-10 days, but I can wait that long to know. I am just so relieved that we are not forced with having to make a decision we would have to live with the rest of our lives.

Thank you to everyone that keep us in their prayers. It meant so much to me to have the support.

Now on to names...

Today is either going to be really good or really bad

Today is the day we are supposed to hear preliminary genetic results on triplet B. I have been so sick to my stomach for the past 2 days waiting to know if we should celebrate or grieve. So if we hear back that everything initially came back good, meaning no lethal abnormalities were found, that is 95% reliable. If it comes back bad, meaning they found something, it is 99% accurate. We will get the full results for all babies (including the sexes) in about 7-10 days.

I feel so helpless about this- there is nothing I can do and I hate that feeling, having no power over some things in my life. I am sure God has a greater plan for us, I have to keep telling myself that, but I really hope it involes triplets and not twins as a consolation.

I am driving myself nuts here waiting for the phone to ring. I think I might just go to Target and kill some time...

Will fill everyone in when I hear the news. Keep your fingers crossed.
