10 week ultrasound

We had a 10 week ultrasound today and the babies look wonderful! Their heartbeats were all strong between 150's-160's, and they measured between 10w1d and 10w4d.

Oh, are they cute! Their little arms and legs are formed and we could see them moving the entire time! Triplet A especially was grooving all over the place, and then B joined in. I think C was taking a nap, but her heartbeat was strong.

(INSERT HUGE SIGH OF RELIEF.)

Today's pictures:

Here is A, you can see her little baby shape now! Note she is upside down, so head is at the bottom and you can see her little hands and feet.



Here are all three. C was hiding higher in my uterus and so A and B are much easier to see than C. Again, A is upside down, resting her head on B's bottom. C is to their left in both shots.





I am still feeling much less nauseous, and have been instructed to start protein shakes tonight, but I have gained a good five pounds now! That is a big deal for me, and I am trying to keep it up. I still am EXHAUSTED and headachy, but much less sick. The belly requires maternity pants now- or a belly band at least. They said a 10 week triplet uterus is like a 18 singleton one, which is how I look.

My doppler should be here soon, so I can listen to their heartbeats when I freak out (read: every day). It should work in the next week or so! :)

  8. Great news! They are so cute in ther.

    I can't believe your belly is as big as an 18 weeks singleton. OMG! I'm amazed all your clothes aren't maternity. Mine sure were at 18 weeks.

    Now go eat something. . .

  18. Aw, they are totally cute - all 3 of them! I have to wait another 2 weeks for my next u/s to see the triplets. In the meantime, I'm living vicariously through you and your Doppler! I've been in maternity clothes since 9 wks. ;)
