First Trimester: Although it’s a bit of a blur now, the uncertain days of the first trimester seemed to last a lifetime.

I don’t know if I’ll get through this post without fighting back tears, but I’ll give it my best shot… Two weeks after the shock of our lives, (finding out we were expecting triplets), I found myself back on that same cold table, staring blankly at the black and white screen. I immediately saw the [...]
