8/23/13 and I can see their braaaiiins! (10 weeks 4 days)

Sorry for the delay in this post.  We had a busy weekend bookended (well aware that's not a word) by tasty mexican food with the extended Barrientos family.

We had a wonderful Friday, celebrating our five year wedding anniversary as well as getting another look into the triplicate womb.  Because I'm not experiencing morning sickness I frequently begin to believe I'm not actually pregnant during the week, or that something has happened to the babies.  I'm pretty sure the 5 nightly trips to urinate are the only reason I've kept my grip on pregnancy reality.

And once again, all is well in the womb.  The babies are doing great. . . as far as we can tell.  Baby A is the only one to ever give good pictures.  The other two are determined to be blobs.

In other news, I changed the format here a little bit.  I added Gabe's youtube channel to the left side so you'll be able to see any video's he uploads immediately from here.  The newest videos are on top.  I also added a new poll on the left side.  You have until September 30th to take the "What are we having" poll, and hopefully by then we'll know the sex of the triplicate.

On to the good stuff!

Baby A, Heartbeat 160...The Alien
Ahh, my little photogenic alien.  If you watch the video, A was moving A LOT!  It was so cool!  I think the 2nd pic looks like a ninja turtle, Gabe thinks I'm crazy.  In pic three you can see that itty bitty two lobed brain.  mmmmmmm, braaaiiiinnnnsssss...
Baby B, Heartbeat 164...The Spider
Had a really hard time getting any pictures of B at first, but Monica is determined and finally success!  I call B Spider Baby because I swear that thing has three eyes.  Yes I know spiders don't have three eyes, but it's still very spideresque.  
Baby C, Heartbeat 162..The Conehead
Check out 2nd pic of C.  Is anyone else concerned that Baby C is a ringer for Dan Aykroyd in Coneheads?

  1. In the third picture it looks like Baby C is all scrunched up facing you. Very cute. I'm loving the ultrasound pictures. Cherish them because I only have about a handful.

  2. I love this blog. I love you. I love that every post brings tears of joy to my eyes. I can't wait to see more, hear more, and hold all of your little angels. Speaking of - change aliens to angels in your poll and I'd have voted for that one...for now, you'll just have to accept my vote for 2 boys/1 girl. :)

  3. From past experiences I can tell you that a faster heartbeat typically means your having a baby girl. Seeing how all three heart beats are fast I think your going to be having baby girls. I can't wait to hear the gender results. Girls heartbeats are normally in the 160's. Good luck with the pregnancy!! I must admit I was shocked to hear the news. I can't believe you were keeping that news from me. Love ya anyways!! I can't wait to meet your three bundles of joy. Let me know how I can help.
