This weekend, most of my extended family met at my grandparent's cottage as it was their 55th wedding anniversary. We usually go annually on Victoria Day weekend but with my grandparents anniversary happening to land on Sunday we all collectively decided to go up there last weekend. It's always a blast! Of course with everyone together Jake and I decided we may as well spill the beans. We were going to wait until the second trimester to tell extended family and friends but since everyone was there and nothing medically bad has come up I figured why not? We got there Friday night and on Saturday morning we always do a huge breakfast so when we were all seated and almost done eating I stood up and said, "Well Grammie and Gramps, since you guys were such amazing grandparents Jake and I decided to to make you great-grandparents!" There was a lot of gasps and no ways! but everyone was so excited! Then we pulled out the ultrasound pictures and showed them Baby A and said, "This is the baby" and pointed to Baby B and said, "and this is the other baby" and pointed to Baby C and said, "and this is the last baby". Everyone was speechless until I said, "We're having triplets" and then there was a lot of gasps, "no ways" and explitives from people I didn't even know knew those kinds of words. After a lot of reasurring that yes this is our ultrasound and yes the doctor is sure there are three, everyone was over the moon excited.
We came home Sunday and got back to reality Monday. I have a perinatologist appointment tomorrow and I'm oddly nervous! Oh well, we'll see how it goes!
