The Post with the Gender Predictions

Thanks for to everyone who participated in the poll and made your guess! 53% of you were right. Our sonographer seemed pretty confident when she gave us this prediction:

Identical twin GIRLS and a BOY!

We were so excited to know that they are all healthy and so far, free from any abnormalities, but having a guess at their gender was extra special! I always hoped there was at least one more girl as I have saved every item of clothing, pink receiving blanket and decoration from my daughter, and would be bummed if I had to donate about 8 large totes of baby girl things.

We will see if she is right! I will have an ultrasound every two weeks to ensure the babies are all growing at the same rate, and that my cervix is not shortening. Honestly (a bit of Wemberly here) I am very worried about cervical shortening. I wish they could just put a cerclage in now (stitch my cervix shut) but my doctor says it is best to monitor it closely and frequently and then have it done if necessary. She said I am at an advantage as I carried my daughter to 41 weeks, and my cervix was SLOW to open. I am going to my final RE visit this week and the doctor I am seeing is a mom of twins, and very knowledgeable so I am hoping she'll measure my cervix to reassure me, and tell me if every other week is often enough for now.

The belly continues to grow, and I promise to post a 12 week belly picture later. Thank you so much to everyone who sent their congrats on a good NT scan, and their kind wishes for us!

  1. I knew it!!! I knew a lot of things - when I first read that you were having triplets, I knew they were all going to be fine and healthy. And then when you said they could see the genders, I had an overwhelming feeling of two girls and a boy. Man, if I could read the future as clearly when it came to myself! CONGRATS!!!!

  2. Congrats! Try not to fret about the cervix length too much, especially with a 41 week pregnancy behind your belt. A good perinatologist will measure it and check it and keep tabs of it! Of course, that is easier said that done, but I always fretted and I made it to 36 weeks with triplets. Good luck and what great news!

So you figured out that you were my anonymous friend with the triplet announcement, eh? ;) I'm so excited for you--identical girls and a boy! What a combo! Your doctor sounds wonderful and very on top of things. You're in good hands.

  5. Wow -- so exciting! (Well, it would have been exciting no matter what the result.) And at least your husband will have some male companionship in all of the girliness. ;)

    So looking forward to hearing about your next look (as I'm sure you are)!! How's the eating plan going?

  10. Yay! I'm so excited for you! And so amazed that they can predict this so soon. I know from reading that the genitals are developing at this point, but to be able to identify them is so cool!

  17. Gramm says - I'm amazingly proud of you for taking such good care of yourself these days - rest, eating well, lots of time with A. In case you have a milkshake craving, I noticed at Tullys that some of the TALL milkshakes have a serious 1000 calories - wow!
