Kyra and I went for our first ultrasound yesterday and received some very, very, very positive news, it showed not one, but three! Back on February 23, we had two 3 day embryos returned, one was a 7 and one was an 8 cell, both with 25% fragmentation (none is desirable). All fetuses appear heathy and dated appropriately at 9 and 1/7 week, all in their own gestational sacs. So I guess we now fit in to the 20% statistic from the fertility center of having multiples.
We have an appointment with the high risk OB/GYN in a few days, they're going to evaluate the identical set of twins to see if they share a placenta or have their own. Each twin having it's own placenta would just give us more options if he need to reduce, which we don't plan to do if everything goes fairly well.
Kyra continues to have mimimal nausea or vomiting, but a lot of reflux for which she's been taking Tums. She's also been getting up one to two times per night to urinate due to the fluid retention, I find it ironic since she always used to make fun of me for getting up during the night.

Above is a picture of the initial ultrasound showing the triplets. Since they're small their not well defined by you can make out the head of baby B and the body of baby A, I'm not really sure what baby C is doing.
