After two hours of ultrasounds and a long, looooong wait we managed to have an audience with Dr. Greg Ryan, director of fetal medicine at Mt Sinai. The ultrasounds (AKA us) detected a membrane between the identical twins, which made them a lower risk. Crown-rump measurements were taken as well as nuchal scans to determine the presence of Down syndrome. Our little tribbles (in homage to the new Star Trek movie next week!) measured A - 6.9, B - 6.9 and C - 7.4 cm. Dr. Ryan doesn't want to see us again because we're not a high enough risk - great news!!
We see the new doctor on May 12th for more ultrasounds (sorry, that's "us").

Mt. Sinai Appointment
On Tuesday we received appointments for Mt. Sinai. Seems like we're to receive the best of care as this hospital is one of the two best in the province for neonatal care. We meet the director next week and undergo their first ultrasound in May with our new OBGYN (sorry, I'm a guy - I think that's right).
Excited? Yes!
Concerned? Of course. Having triplets automatically puts us in the high risk category. If we can make the 32 week barrier (mid-September?) then our little tribbles will be fine and will spend less time in the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit).
I feel upbeat having helped raise one excellent child already. Or should I say so far? He's just 9! Now if only the next 3 turn out to be as awesome as Adam........you guys have some pretty big shoes to fill!

It has begun!

Excellent news from Monday's ultrasound results at 12 weeks. All three babies are the normal size for their age and are moving and shaking like the little plums they are. The official word was sent out at work and abroad. Thanks for the phone calls and for all your congratulations as well!
Edit: First ultrasound pictures!
