Well Babybound, that is just extra incentive to push very hard in labor. That is wonderful news about how healthy the baby is....I will predict that it is a Girl. That heart beat is very fast, and all of my friends who have had girls have had heart beats in the 160s.
Congratulations!!! We go tomorrow for our u/s. I am hoping that at least one baby exposes itself.
BB - I guess your little one just wants to keep you guessing right up intill the end. Are you going to have any more u/s before the birth?
Our u/s went great. We are having another girl and are very happy about it. We would have been happy either way. Everything about the baby is going well, I have a grade 2 placenta preavea (spell check) and wont know if I can try a vaginal delivery until I have another scan at 32 weeks. If the placenta has moved at least 3-4 cm away from the cervix then my ob said we could give it a try.
We had a 3 and 4d scan, so we got to see really good images and have actual photos of her. It's amazing what technology can do these days.

Shaz, Congratulations on your baby girl I am sure that your daughter will enjoy having a baby sister.
BabyBound, Sorry you couldn't find out what you are having, but just think of the surprise at the end
Elizabeth, Good luck tomorrow on your u/s
I have my 20 wk. u/s on August 23. I can't wait. I am nervous and hope that the baby is growing and doing well. I feel like I am very small for being 18 wks. tomorrow. We are not going to find out the sex of the baby. I want the surprise at the delivery
I hope you are all doing well and keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Shaz, congratulations! A baby girl! I'm so thrilled for you!
BB, I think not knowing gives the extra incentive at delivery also! If it wasn't for 2 being in there I wouldn't of have wanted to know You girls make me want to have an U/S today! I can't wait for my next one..8/29. Elisabeth....? How did it go? cassandra

Shaz, another precious little girl. I'm sure Ms. Billie just love that.
Elizabeth, I'm patiently waiting...

Hi Everyone - I have had some internet troubles, so I had to wait until I came to work to report. We are thrilled to announce that we will be having two girls and a boy! I haven't come off of my cloud....that is what I secretely wanted. The two girls are measuring average and the boy is lagging behind a bit. We think he is the embryo that wasn't as far along as the other two. Other than that, everything is going great.
Shaz - I am so excited about your little girl. What does Billie think? I wish my doctor did 3-D ultrasounds. Can you tell if she has you or dh's nose? Congratulations.

Elisabeth, congratulations! That is wonderful news! May I ask how much they weigh? Mine weighed in at 10oz and 11oz 2 weeks ago. I hope they are well over a lb when I go again. Think of any names yet? Also, I remember you posted you were having a baby shower in July. How did it go what did you receive? Again, congratulations! cassandra

Cassandra - Our babies are at 13, 12 & 11 ounces in weight. We were 19 1/2 weeks when we had the u/s.
The shower in Texas was awesome! We were absolutely blown away by everyone's generosity. We got three strollers...one triplet jogger, a double and a single. We also got most of our "big ticket" items, such as swings, bouncy seats, a pack-n-play, excersaucers, etc....It was truly overwhelming. I also received a ton of home made receiving blankets and burp cloths. They are so special and soft, and I can't wait to see my babies wrapped up in them.
I still have two more showers in Michigan. I am requesting a lot of onesies, diapers, bottles and essentials.
It was so great to feel the love and support from our friends and family. DH and I were feeling down a few weeks ago, because so many people have negative comments about having triplets.....Better you than me, I would have reduced, etc.... We are so excited about these babies and feel so blessed to be having them!
Elizabeth, I'm so glad you had such a great shower! Also, I had to comment on what you said about people saying "better you than me" and stuff like that. You are SO incredibly blessed to be expecting triplets and it's obvious you and your DH know that and are thrilled. I wish we could make people just be quiet if they have nothing nice to say. I have teen daughters and I'm so unbelievably thrilled to be pregnant again at age 39. I can't tell you how many people have said "better you than me" and "you are crazy" and "won't you be like 40?" and even "don't you worry people will think you are the grandmother?" I've heard it all. I just sit there and wonder what they are thinking!! And where are their manners? And I feel sorry for them if they think having a baby at ANY age is a burden. I think it's absolutely fantastic that you are having triplets and know you will do great and have SO many happy times and memories. Imagine Christmas? Or birthday parties? Or 3 little ones splashing in a tub together or running through a sprinkler together? The good times will FAR outweigh the bad. I am thrilled for you both! Karen

Karen - you are such a wonderful and sweet person!! Thanks for the words. Everyone here knows what a blessing babies are. I feel sorry for the poor people that think differently....they are really missing out.
Elizabeth, congrats on the two girls and one boy...WOW!!! People say the dumbest things. Don't let them steal your joy. You and your DH knows taking care of one baby is a lot or work and it looks like you guys are ahead of the game and know what to expect. Again, like Karen said...the joys of watching three grow up together will far outweigh the sleepless nights. What a awesome shower you had. Do you have room to put everything? Your house is going to look like Babies'rUS after your next two showers. Enjoy...enjoy...enjoy.
I'm jealous of all you guys who know what you're having. I went shopping this weekend and couldn't buy anything. All I see in the stores that is neutral is oneies and blankets. I truly think it's a boy, but who knows.

Baby Bound, I hope you are allowing yourself to indulge in some precious baby clothes that are too cute to pass up! My girlfriend found a lot of great deals on boy and girl clothes while she was pregnant. She didn't know what she was having, so she either gave the boy clothes as gifts or sold them on e-bay. (obviously, she had a girl) She ended up making way more money than what she had spent on the outfits.
