Most of you know already that my pregnancy was far from the norm. I initially was told by my doctor that it was "two for the price of one." Yes, those were her EXACT words as she yelled down the hall after my ultrasound. Since I was expecting "twins" at the time I was referred to a specialist who handles woman with multiple pregnancies. It was this time last year that I dragged my mom with me to my first ultrasound with the specialist Dr. Potter. My mom was still getting used to the idea that her baby was having a baby so it was a little awkward. The nurse called my name for me to be seen. I go and get ready for the ultrasound...a bit nervous as always. The ultrasound begins examining me. We were having the regular convo of "do multiples run in your family?" I hated talking about it because both of my great grandmothers had twins but they did not make it. That was something I learned after I found out I was pregnant. Suddenly the room is quiet and the tech gasps. I get scared and ask her what is it? In my mind I was afraid that I something was wrong with one of my babies. She never said a thing. I continued watching the tv screen that reflected the images of my ultrasound that read Twins. The US tech politely deleted twins and typed TRIPLETS!!! Now being that it was April Fool's Day. I informed the tech that she was not allowed to play with me like that. My mom mumbles..."I thought I saw that." Moms eyes started to water. I layed there in disbelief at how drastic my life had changed in a matter of months. For some reason I was cool with the idea of twins but triplets...without fertility drugs?!!! In the words of Fabolous...where they do that at???
Now the irony of it all is Kylan London is Baby C that decided to show his little head on April 1, 2009. It was on that day I knew I was going to have to keep my eye on that little guy. He's clearly the sneaky one. The picture of Kylan playing with his oxygen tube tells it all.
