Today we had our first appointment with our OB who'll be the one in charge of us for a bit.
But first it was the ultrasound technicians turn. The equipment that this tech had in comparison to our RE's equipment was amazing. This thing looked like a video production panel...faders, knobs...a trackball. It was impressive.
It was at this point they labeled the babies, Baby A is on Megan's right side, Baby B is on the left and Baby C is kind up top. Baby A measured at 8 weeks 2 days, while Baby B and Baby C were both 8 weeks and 1 day. Right on track as we are 8 weeks 1 day.
Something that was amazing and unexpected was with the same ultrasound equipment, they were able to let us hear each of the heartbeats. We had no idea this was coming, Megan and I looked at each other with shock and big grins.
If you're a parent and reading this, you probably know the sensation we felt. If you aren't, let me just say that hearing your baby's heartbeat has this uncanny way of making life stand still.
*Warning Schmaltzy Sappyness Ahead*
Hearing your baby's heartbeat is seriously a life altering event. I suddenly went from having this self image of a happy go lucky, free wheeling dude, to expectant father of three.
And now comes the task of planning everything....need a new car in April...mini-van? Erp.
