January 19th, 2009

Today was one of the biggest days of the SD3 pregnancy yet! Today was Level II ultrasound day, which meant very detailed looks and measurements of all the babies and their parts.

The first news is that everything looked GREAT! All of the measurements and parts were right where they were supposed to be, but more on that later.

The next news was a bit of a shocker...

BABY A is a BOY!!!! That is right! We thought we had 3 girls, but now it looks like we have 2 girls and 1 boy!!!!! We are very excited to have both sexes and the mix is exactly what we were hoping for!! Even though I asked the sonographer three times if she was sure, she still said yes! HAHA! We have to return a few things, and re-think some other items, but we are okay with that!

So now back to the results of the ultrasounds now that I got the big shock out of the way, lol. The babies heart beats were 150, 147 and 150 bpm. We got to see their brains, legs bones, arm bones, kidneys, diaphragms, bladders, stomachs, hands, feet, fingers and toes! The doctor said all the pictures looked great and everything is progressing well. The babies' weights are 13 oz, 12 oz, and 11 oz. The little ones almost doubled in size in the last 4 weeks!

Shara is now officially off work and on house arrest/bed rest. Of course, I am heading to Seattle for the entire week today. Sooooo, if anyone has free time, please give my lovely wife a call or stop on by, she will be free, hahah!

We have to get plans wrapped up on lots of stuff now. Furniture needs ordering, colors picked out, registries finished, etc. Lots of work, but so worth it. My new office and the new play room are all done except for paint and carpet. When we get everything painted, including the SD3's nursery, I will post pics!

That is it for now. We have a doctor visit next week, then the cervix ultrasound the week after. Stay tuned for the next update!
