We're Pregnant...

with TRIPLETS!

yes... you read that correctly!!! I'm 9 weeks today. Here's the scoop...

I found out at the beginning of December that I was pregnant. It was a surprise. I mean, a surprise to a girl who never thought she would have children. A surprise to a girl who has an 11 month old. A surprise to a girl who thought her and hubby wouldn't get pregnant if they were just "careful." uhhh... oops!


Anyway, we were thrilled, delighted, overwhelmed, and a little scared. I mean, who has kids this close? What will we do? What will others say? How will I manage?

Then Christmas came and we got to surprise our families with the news that Blanton Baby #2 would make his/her appearance on August 20, 2009! There were tears and squeals. The best Christmas surprise!!

We told a few close friends, but were waiting to go to the Doctor today before we spilled the beans to everyone.

So, this morning we went to the doctor. We were running around like crazy people, and surprisingly were only 5 minutes late! I met my new Doctor, who I immediately fell in love with! She was so warm and friendly, AND she offered my an ultrasound!!! I didn't think I was going to get one today, so I was a little un-prepared.

Once she started the exam, here is how our conversation went...

Dr: Ummm....

Me: Is that two??!?!

Dr.: Well, it's your lucky day! I see three!!!

Me: WHAT?!?!?! WHAT?!??! (laughing hysterically!!!)

Dr: Yep. There's three. Now, please stop laughing so I can take a picture.

Chris: I TOLD YOU SO! (Last night Chris *jokingly* said 'what if there are three in your belly?' I told him only people with fertility medicine get 3. I was wrong.)

Chris: Um. I guess we are going to have to think of more names.


So, that is how we found out we are growing from a family of 3 to a family of 6.

Please keep these three little babies in your prayers. Pray for their health. Pray for my health. I go to my "new" doctors on Tuesday. The are high risk OB's. I am definitely High Risk now.. and I don't even know what all that means, but I will soon find out.

This is definitely God's handi-work and humor coming through. I mean, I would have never thought in a million years....

Complaints Because I Need an Outlet

I am feeling sick and yuck and weak. I hate morning, well, night sickness so very much. Today I am 8 weeks 5 days according to my LMP, but I am interested to see how far along I really am on Wednesday.

Sickness, I know you are a good indicator, but please, please go away. I can't be a good wife or mommy. Going to go eat some jello, take some tums, and head to bed.

Man alive, Harper just woke up...

Pregnant! 8 week update

I've wanted to post for such a long time!! I am dying to post this...

I AM PREGNANT!!!

Surprise to us! We found out at the beginning of December, and I'm due sometime in August. My first Doctor's appointment is January 14th. I've gotten a new doctor, and look forward to meeting her. By the time this is posted, I will have already been to the doctor. I've been a huge mess of hormones. Afternoon sickness kicked in at the beginning of 8 weeks. It's not as bad as it was with Harper, but still it can get me good. My house is in SEVERE need of a maid, as the live-in one has no energy to do squat! I do one load of laundry and then have to go lay back down. Cleaning the toilet or mopping is completely out of the question!!! Chris has been so good about helping out around the house; however, I'm ready to be out of the sick phase. I'm such a wimp!

So, my belly pics and "stats" will start up again as I track this pregnancy. :-)

How far along? 8 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 0 pounds

Maternity clothes? Not yet, but I got 2 whole bins from my friend, Amy! I really need some dress pants b/c the ones I have are getting kind of tight. I can tell my belly is popping A LOT faster this time around!

Stretch marks? Just left over ones from Harper :-)

Sleep: In bed at 10 or 10:30 and sleep until 8:30.

Best moment this week:

Movement:

Food cravings: Food tastes sooo good this time around. I really do not want to gain a bazillion pounds, though. I love Greek and Chinese food so much! I told Chris I was nicknaming the baby Ratatouille because he/she is making me love food so much! :-)

Gender prediction: Nada

Labor Signs: NO!

Belly Button in or out? still in

Wedding rings on or off? Still on

Weekly Wisdom: Nap when Harper naps. The house will eventually get clean... in about 2 years.

Milestones:
