Glover Triplets: Week 12 Update

So this week has been a very busy one for us baby wise. We went out over the weekend and bought maternity clothes (Penny finally gave in). She also started wearing her maternity uniform on Monday. It didn't help matters when, the week before, the master chief at her command bluntly said, "Please tell me you are pregnant," insinuating that she was getting out of standards. She didn't take too kindly to that and told him so. On Monday, when she showed up in her new uniform, she made a point to ask him if she still looked fat.

We had an appointment that afternoon with the regular OB doctor at Portsmouth and everyone was looking great. Unfortunately, the pictures didn't turn out too great - you can't tell anything on the printouts.

On Friday, we had our first appointment with Maternal Fetal Medicine (MFM) - the high risk doctor at Portsmouth and right after that, the ultrasound scans for the fetal nuchal translucency test that looks for genetic disorders using a high resolution machine. (We mainly wanted to have a chance to look at our babies on the high res machine)! During this time we got to look at each baby in detail on a big screen, we could see their fingers, ears, chins, and they were squirming and kicking and moving all around. Here are a few of the pictures we received!
