Wow, it has been a while since I have done this and to be quite honest I never thought I would do it again just because it seems like everyone around us has had kids and it would just continue with a second and so on. Well this one is going to be unique for us and I am sure you would all like to follow it as it definitely will not be ordinary. On December 15 Steph and I found out we were expecting, and quickly after that we found out that things were growing in her tummy a little faster than normal. Her fatigue levels and here tummy size led us to believe that we needed to get an ultrasound done soon. On January 7th we found out that there was some madness behind what was going on and it was the fact that there were two little ones inside the tummy. That afternoon Stephanie and Renee flew to Ontario to tell her entire family that we were expecting twins. The excitement was truly something that Steph and I could not elaborate to anyone, it just felt so right for our family. Stephanie continued to grow at a faster rate, very tired, however she was feeling good. On the 18th of January Steph went for a routine ultrasound because of the twins. The routineness of the ultrasound turned out to be quite the opposite. Within minutes of the ultrasound beginning it was clear that the doctor was a little perplexed. Finally when the doctor spoke he told us that there were indeed three little ones in there. I got to hear this news over the phone, and of course all the different thoughts of what to do come into your mind. The week to follow was a very challenging one as we are now faced with a large challenge that Stephanie and I know that we can handle.
Since that day, we have found out again that we are still only having three and no more. It has been a bit of a whirlwind however we could not be happier, we are finding out from lots and lots of research that it will be a very busy few years to get a grip of all the children's needs however we know we will have lots of help from all of our friends and family here in Delta and Ontario.
The babies inside are arranged like this: We have baby 'A' who I guess you can say is all alone at this time and is referred to as a 'Singleton' and then there is baby 'B1' and baby 'B2' whom are very much identical twins.
There is nothing that is going to be easy over the next 17 to 25 weeks as this pregnancy has become a high risk one. We are currently at the 11 week mark however term with triplets is on average 32 weeks. The main milestone for A, B1, and B2 is that we do not see them until at least 28 weeks, however absolutely anything can happen from today until the end, so all we ask is that you keep us in your prayers as we embark on this miracle journey over the next few months.
Hope to hear from you soon
Ron Steph Renee, A, B1, B2
