okay, so I went to the hospital for the first time...

Got your attention, huh? Yes, I was having pains, and I called my new doc (who I haven't even seen yet), and since it was Friday at about 3ish she wanted me to go to Labor and Delivery. I was hesitant, but the nurse's exact words were "you're having triplets-you need to be cautious". So I went in about six, they strapped a contraction monitor on me. It showed nothing. They checked everything, and did an ultrasound. Two and half hours later I'm out with a clean bill of health! Babies are fine.

A side note about the ultrasound: the tech was very thorough, a grizzled looking man who's been doing this for years, very fast, took about 50 pictures of them. I asked if he could tell me the genders and he said he didn't normally do that for emergencies. But after the end of the ultrasound, and some conversations about movies (yeah Labor and Delivery was not that busy last night), he told me that C is a GIRL!!
So yay.
