What a great day! Today we had an ultrasound....
Everything went great!!!! Shara is about 12.5 weeks along and the babies are doing great! They all measured really well (all about 6 cm) and their heart beats were great too (167 bpm, 163 bpm, 167bpm).
This was a huge milestone for us. The first pregnancy was found to be miscarried just before this stage. so seeing 3 peanuts doing the jig today was quite exciting! They were all very active. We saw two arms, two legs, mouth, bladders and stomachs on each! It was unbelievable!! We are on cloud nine right now.
Our doctor's visit is next week, but our next ultrasound isn't for 4 weeks! We can't wait to see the changes!
As for Shara, she is still pretty nauseous and tired, but in great spirits. She is funnier and cuter than ever!
I posted some ultrasounds below. I wanted everyone to get a feel for how far the St. Denis Three has come. They are at the point where trying to get them all in one picture doesn't really work, so you will see more and more individual shots. Enjoy them! If you click on the pictures they will show a larger version. I hope you like them!!
Talk to you next week!

November 17th
We just got back from a weekend in Montreal and I believe the ABCs love Smoked Meat Sandwiches! We had a great time with the only issue being the Canadiens lost the hockey game. Great food and relaxing times were just what the doctor ordered.
Speaking of which, we did go to get an ultrasound on Friday before we left for Montreal, just to check everything out. All is well and it is amazing to see the differences already. Baby A enjoys lying on its head and was doing some jumping around for the camera! We can't wait for next week to see even more! I will be posting week to week ultrasound pictures after Thanksgiving as we are off to Toronto that weekend.
This weekend we are off to Washington DC to see Shara's brother Chad and his girlfriend Sarah. Man, the little peanuts are only 11 weeks along, but they sure get around!!!

November 12th
So today was Shara's first real appointment with the doctors that will see us through to delivery! Things went great and we are set up for our upcoming appointments. We have an ultrasound in 2 weeks and the next doctor's visit in 3 weeks. It is going to be strange waiting a whole two weeks as we have been seen by the specialists every week up until now. We can't wait! The "Alphabet" will be 12 weeks along by then (knock on wood!). The ultrasound is scheduled to take an hour and a half. From here on, appointments are going to be long as they have triple the work! 12 weeks is a huge milestone, we are so excited to get there!
We also got a list of all the triplet mothers that have been, or are being seen at the same office as us. We will be able to connect with them. This is really great as who knows better on what to do than the people that are doing it!
Keep those wishes flowing!

Week of November 10th
Shara is now 10 weeks along and we have our first official perinatal appointment coming up this week. We will be with the perinatal for the long haul to ensure everything goes as smooth as possible.
As an update on how Shara is doing, the word is nausea. Lots and lots of nausea. It comes and goes all day and the slightest bad smell will send her reeling. Poor thing is tough though as she manages a smile on her face throughout it all.
Stay tuned!

First Post
Okay, so here we go! Just to get the back story straight, here's the scoop.
I am Mike and my wife's name is Shara. We met almost 5 years ago and have been trying to start a family for almost 2 years Through fertility medicine we were able to get pregnant. Here's where the story gets good. There are three of them in there! TRIPLETS!!
Shara is 9.5 weeks pregnant and everything is going great right now. We are very excited and nervous at the same time. This is our first crack at this blogging thing, but hopefully we will be able to use it to keep all of our family and friends informed, as well as share our experience with anyone else who wants to hop in for the ride!
We will get some ultrasound pictures posted in the coming weeks, but for now, keep your fingers crossed for us and the St. Denis Three!!!
