Again the nerves arrives the night before our Morphology scan, the same worries every time I have a scan appear. I was also eager to find out what the other sex was of the surprise that had its legs crossed. Kane had taken the morning off work to attend with me and we were just hoping like crazy that the babies were still going strong and growing well.
They had to check each baby at a time but still told us at the start that there were three beating hearts which always puts a massive smile on my face. The detailing in these scans are amazing, we can now clearly see our babies and make out what they are getting up to. Checking the heart functions, brain, stomach, bladder, arms and legs, fingers and toes and facial structure was a long task for the sonographer as they had to do it for each baby. Was a relief for us to hear that after every baby she would give us feedback on how their growth was and for all of our babies they were growing perfectly. They were quite amazed with how they are all very healthy and all growing to their date. I was over the moon and so was Kane to hear that everything was going as well as could be.
We had heard a bit of a horror story a couple of days before the scan about a lady miscarring triplets due to her cervix shortening and unable to hold the three babies. So Kane was asking lots of questions throughout the scan and we were both glad to hear that my cervix hadnt changed from my last scan 16weeks so we are just hoping that it can stay that way to at the least 28 weeks. As she was going over the sexes she asked if we knew already I told her that we knew Baby A is a girl and Baby C a boy, and if we could find out what sex Baby B was. She confirmed our thoughts for us that it to was another girl so we would be having two girls and one boy.... Until she commented I think they made a mistake with the sex of Baby C, Kane's face had dropped and I too was thinking 3 girls!!! Kane said "3 girls??" and she said what sex did they tell you I said Baby C we were told was a BOY!! Oh no thats right I thought you said they were both girls. So Kanes smile had reappeared and he said rather loud "Thank GOD!"
Back to the shops in the weekend to do some more shopping, now two lots of girls gears and one lot for the wee man! Our collection was growing and I wondered how much stuff you need, if we were having one I think we would have over done it, kind of lucky we get three!
We also had a meeting in the park with other triplet families in the brisbane area, I was so nervous before we went I had never actually seen triplets before and to met them and talk to them about their stories I was thinking this is going to make it sink in for sure.
The other triplet families just look normal in the sense that the had a pram babies, and gears as do singletons although once they were out exploring it was the moment to find out what it like ... So amazing to see so many sets of triplets and the advice from all the families was valuable. Many asked Kane how he was feeling about the whole thing and he was positive like always and they just told him it is a great way to be an involved father and play a very important part.
