7 weeks: Three heartbeats - it's official, triplets!


On 12/2 we went in for our second ultrasound to see how everyone was progressing and to see if C got a heartbeat. The tech was able to find a heartbeat for all three and with that Brant and I were officially expecting triplets!!! We were thrilled to see that everyone was growing appropriately. The tech named them A, B, and C. However at that point, seeing the heartbeats, Brant quickly renamed them Alpha, Beta and Gamma (the greek alphabet used to label stars). Gamma (C) is the smallest one but beyond that everyone can move around and reorder themselves - while there is still room.

Brant pointed out that I was 80% of the family now. I asked if that meant I could make up house rules as he was outnumbered - this didn't go very far. Something about how they weren't old enough to vote yet.

We ended up going to Indianapolis again this weekend. Brant, Bonnie, Chris and Di all went to the Colts game while Grace and I hung out painting and coloring. Of course there was a holiday party for Bonnie's work and of course it was at a brewery. At this point, after a third weekend of not drinking, we were sure Bonnie had caught on. Thankfully, nothing was said and we continued on with 'our little secret'.
