And the hits just keep on coming...

Well, this came as a major surprise to both Becky and I.  As I'm sure you are all aware, our ultrasounds have clearly shown we are pregnant with twins.  There are rumors that the gender of one is known, but that hasn't been confirmed.  Calls have not been returned.

On a much, MUCH more pressing note: our latest ultrasound has revealed slightly more alarming news.  We have discovered (seriously, it's hard to even type this)... a third baby!!!  So, twins have become Triplets.  The doctor and ultrasound technicians said this situation is not unheard of in twins conceived by IVF.  Something to do with the proximity of each embryo to the other and how they implanted and the placentas blocking the view, blah blah blah.  Who knows?  There were  a lot of terms I didn't follow.  Anyway, who cares about how it happened?  The bottom line is, we're now pregnant with triplets!!

Becky and I are still in shock.  We were pretty worried about handling two let alone three babies.  It's going to be quite difficult and we hope we can rely on some of you for help.  We'll keep you posted as best we can.  Thanks for your support.

We have the first ultrasound picture at the link below.  I hope you can make out the third one.  It's pretty fuzzy.   http://www.flickr.com/photos/scottmedley/3403723486/
