Everyone looked great with strong heartbeats. One of the babies was a bit smaller than the rest which could have been a concern, but after seeing the babies for a second time a couple weeks later, all of our precious angels were measuring the same!
Craig and I went to Long Horn for lunch after that and sat in silence for most of the meal. It was the most overwhelming reality either of us had ever experienced. How our world is about to change! We picked up Addy at grandma Sharon's and Sharon just couldn't stand it another second. She just had to know. We initiallly showed her a picture of two of the babies and she was thrilled it was twins, but it wasn't until we showed her a picture of all three that I thought she was going to pass out! She clung to the countertop in disbelief! Charlie was then called and Craig told him the exciting news.
To tell the rest of the families, we had a special announcement on Easter. In the morning Craig went to his parents house (I got called into work) and had Grandma Rose opened an envelope that said "Jessie and Craig are expecting". Charlie then said, "wait a minute... opened an egg and read "it's twins." Sharon then opened her egg and announced it was actually triplets. Everyone was literally speechless!
At my families, Dad had organized an adult egg hunt. When everyone sat down to open their eggs, some people had money, others had candy, and my cousin Annslee had the lucky egg announcing that we were expecting. Craig then threw an egg to Grandpa Jolly who announced there were 2 babies and everybody cheered. Craig then threw another egg to my Grandma Jolly who read the note on the inside of the egg reading "three eggs equals three babies!" We had so much fun and everyone was so excited.
I love your blog! I can't wait to read updates about everything going on with you guys and the triplets! You'll have to post some ultrasound pictures soon :)
