So if you haven't heard.....

I know it has been a while since Lauren (Hamblin Brown) posted her last pregnant picture, (Triplets??) but it was kind of funny to see. For those of those who haven't known- we have been interested in having kids for awhile. After patiently waiting and multiple appointments, We found out some exciting news about a month or so ago- that I was PREGNANT. So yeah! Now the funny part, to incorporate why I mentioned Lauren's blog, is as if now- I am pregnant with Triplets!! (Hopefully that won't change) So if I could only look half as good as how Lauren looked, that would be fantastic! For those who have known and have been waiting to see, here is the picture of our most recent Ultrasound. I am due to have plenty more in the weeks to come (since three makes High Risk and more appts) so maybe we'll get a better view and we can post that in the future.
The babies are labeled Twin A, B and C since the US machine doesn't do triplets. TW A is in its own gestational sac, while TW B and C are sharing a sac, so they are Identical Twins! Pretty crazy and a lot to take in... but you'll get over in a week or two and can be SO EXCITED like we are. All is well, I am doing great.. Just trying not to explode too fast and enjoy all the freedom and sleep while I can. Ben just finished his finals and has a little break to look forward to over Memorial Week before he starts the summer session and last year. YEAH!! Time flies when you're having fun I guess. He is super and excited and is going to be a great Dad!! I can't wait. He has already pointed out he won't be doing a lot starting next Winter.... snowboarding, golfing, biking- whatever else he usually wants to do, because he'll be spending all his time with me and the kids!! Talk about dedication and love!! My 40 week due date is December 4th, but the average triple pregnancy only makes it about 33 weeks with everything looking good. Let's hope so! I've got a Guatemala trip to go on in August. So if anyone is needing a break next Winter, you are welcome to come to Denver and hang out!!

Mechams said...

Hey Jenny, I don't think you know me. I was friends with Ben, grew up in the same ward, etc. My maiden name was Macdonald. Anyway, Wow! Triplets. We just had twins and it is a handful. I can't imagine one more! Good luck, that is very exciting and you will have so much fun. I know a girl that had triplets, so if you want to talk to her let me know...about strollers, doctors, the pregnancy, cribs, nursing, etc. They had to get a stroller from Europe or something crazy. I probably have some stuff you may be able to use too. Congratulations to you both. Tell Ben hi for me.

Annie said...

Jenny and Ben-
congrats on the babies, that's so wonderful. It took about 3 years for us to get pregnant (just with one though!) I know you must be so excited. I just found out about Ben's mom this morning. Just wanted to let both of you know I am thinking of you and your family. My prayers are with you.

Trina said...

Yae! That is so fun! I seriously can not even believe it! Congratulations! Good luck! Maybe you could go on Oprah and get lots of free stuff! That would be super cool!

Debbie said...

I seriously can not even believe it! I think you are the only person I have known personally to have triplets!! Keep posting updates...I will be checking lots to see what's going on! Hope you are feeling great, I can't imagine being pregnant with THREE!!

Laura said...

Wow! I need to check blogs more often! I am soooo happy for you guys! I can't even imagine being pregnant with THREE at once. I'm sure you are just thrilled! If you're 17 weeks now then you're about half way there already...yeah! We have some friends in a similar situation who are now expecting identical twin boys in November. Congratulations again! I can't wait to hear more about everything!
