I'm creating this blog as a journal to myself as well as friends and family. I hope I can be completely honest with no judgement... oh yeah, and I may get a tad "tmi".
Okay, Adam and I decided to have another baby over the summer. With that said I came off my birth control (mirena/iud)... and I got pregnant within about 2-3 weeks! Now, if you don't know... I am having triplets. It did happen naturally but I have heard women can produce more than one egg right after birth control. So I think that maybe played a role ?! However, I do also have quite a few sets of multiples in my family. It's all just too crazy...
Let's see... I am currently 11w2d pregnant. My due date would be April 17th, if it were a singleton pregnancy but with multiples I will more than likely go earlier. Doc said about 32 weeks. So its possible I can have these babies in feb but hopefully march. I'm going to keep 'em cooking as long as I can!
I do know I am carrying identical babies and a fraternal. They're in 2 different placentas and they are each in their own sac (which is great, bc it decreases chance of getting tangled in cord and there is no chance they can be conjoined).
This week I have to test how much protein is in my urine by collecting my pee in a jug for 24 hrs. I am also getting tested to make sure I don't carry the cystic fibrosis gene. And next week I will have my 12 week appt. I will be seeing my normal o.b. as well as a high risk specialist. Sounds fun, huh? Oh well, it is pretty nice that I get an ultrasound every appt....
I definitely already have a "gut" and my boobs are already over a cup size bigger.... haha =) I'm not going to lie though. I have some selfish moments of freaking out about what this is going to do to my body... and I have moments of feeling overwhelmed; Adrienne is hitting those terrific two's and I'm just worried about my sanity. I know it'll all be okay but for now I am constantly tired and I'm triple hormonal !! yay! Well, that is all I can think of right now... I'll make sure to take some belly pics soon.
Thanks for reading! ~Sam
I am so excited for you girl!! Make sure you get a lot of rest and sleep while you can :) At least this way you won't have to be pregnant again lol!! I can't wait to see belly pics and find out if the sex's of all of them! This is going to be one heck of a life changing experience for you!!
ReplyDeleteWow! Yay Identical and fraternal! I cant wait to hear the sex's either! And I would have many selfish moments as well thinking about what three babies would do but you worked so hard after Adrienne was born you'll be able to do it again! I hope you have a lot of help with cute lil Adrienne I can't imagine how tired (and hormonally challenged) you are. Let me know if you ever need an over night sitter to rest up you know I got everything she needs! Love you xox can't wait to continue reading about your journey!

ReplyDeleteIt is Corinne- your OB Auntie. Congrats to you and Adam!! The blog is a great idea. You may want to get started on a book for all the inside bb pics as they grow. Also, start piling some books you have always wanted to read, and some yarn you like along with a crochet or knitting book.. you may have some "bed rest days" ahead after the holidays. Also Mom of multiples do well with napping while their "outside" kids nap too.

Hugs and blessings ...Corinne
