My triplet ballerinas are my daughters, Makenna Anne, Jaeli Jo and Maysie Jailyn.
One of
the perks from receiving fertility treatment is that you will find out if you’re
pregnant sooner than you would if you just took an at home pregnancy test. We
had just finished our first round of Clomid, along with the Ovidrel shot. I was
hoping, but not expecting to get pregnant the first time around. I get the call
from the fertility clinic shortly after giving blood to find out the results.
“You’re definitely pregnant,” the nurse said. She commented that it was most
likely twins because my levels were so high. We were ecstatic! During our first
ultrasound at 6 weeks, the doctor wanted to measure the babies to make sure
everything was good and on track. They were right, it was twins! The babies had
not developed heartbeats yet, but they looked great. We were told to come back
in a week to measure again and by this time, there should be two beating
hearts.
At 7 weeks, we went into the ultrasound room and they started measuring the babies. We heard the first heartbeat. It was very overwhelming. Onto the second baby, another strong heartbeat. I laid there thinking about the conversation my husband and I had over the last week after finding out we were having twins. We tried for so long to get pregnant, we were thrilled we were getting two babies at once. The ultrasound tech said she was almost done and both babies looked great. While she was finishing up, I thought I saw a third blinking spot, very similar to the other two blinking spots that showed the heartbeats. I figured I was just seeing things from all the excitement. But then, the tech said, “Uh Oh,” very quietly. She looked at us, and then continued, “I see another heartbeat.” I looked at my husband, thought about it for a moment and instantly got tears in my eyes. The third baby was doing great as well. They were all three perfect!
We went home, in complete shock. After being so excited for twins, we thought “What’s one more?” We are very blessed and thankful to have our three beautiful baby girls.
