We had our first official visit with the doctor that will be handling our pregnancy yesterday. Dr. Francious or something like that. She is a high risk pregnancy specialist in the Phoenix Prenatal clinic. Her clinic is a group of doctors that have delivered more quads than any other group of doctors in the world, ever! So triplets should be a piece of cake. Her office is located at Scottsdale North, which is cool since it is so close to the house, however they deliver at Good Sam in downtown Phoenix (west sidddee!). I guess we can’t have everything. It will be a pain on the butt to visit the babies when they are in the NICU. I guess that’s thinking too far ahead.

They went over all the food requirements and care Tobie should have for the remainder of her pregnancy. Based on their calculations, Tobie should have gained an additional 4 pounds by now. So if you see her and she isn’t holding a bear claw or a twinkie, give her some food! They are only recommending she gain a total of 60 pounds. I guess we are 1/6th there (the doctor said it is not okay to count the weight I’ve gained).

Other than that, everything is on course. The Dr. did tell us about a current patient that had triplets they were carried to 35 weeks. That is pretty cool. The Dr. actually said it was probably a good thing that the babies would be in the NICU for a period of time. That would allow us to prepare for their arrival after the birth.

Here is our latest ultrasound. It’s hard to see in the image below, but the tadpoles look like babies now (you can click on the image for a larger view). Some were doing flips, some were waving. So freaking cool!
