Baby Shower!!!

Thanks to my amazing mom and sisters I had the most beautiful baby shower! I couldn't have felt more loved and blessed by all my friends and family. Here are a few pictures from our special day!

24 Weeks

Appointment update

I met with the OHSU specialists today and all the babies are right on track! They are all growing beautifully, and are all very close in size. The weights are above each picture below! It's getting harder for them to get good picures of them because they are all getting a little squished in there!

Most common questions update:

Sleep: It is definitely getting harder to sleep, I keep adding more pillows to the bed (I think I'm up to about 5 pillows now) to keep elevated so I can breathe!

Movement: They are moving constantly now! It's pretty amazing to feel all of them kicking at the same time!

Food cravings: Still no cravings but sweets always sound better than other food!

Genders: A: Girl B: Girl C: Boy

Pregnancy symptoms: My growing belly is getting much heavier and I am feeling very pregnant now. I also have braxton hicks contractions regularly, almost every time I walk, even just to the bathroom. Those are normal though and they don't hurt they're just uncomfortable!

Best moment this week: Getting to see the babies again and getting to spend more time with my girls now that I am home with them full time!

Upcoming appointments: I am scheduled to see my regular OB every 2 weeks now and will continue to see the specialists every 3-4 weeks.

Most common questions update:

Sleep: I am still sleeping pretty good, I just need to keep elevated a little so I can breath!

Movement: I am feeling them move quite a bit now and Chris and the girls can feel them now too, especially our little boy because he is sitting up a little higher than the girls.

Food cravings: I haven't had any lately

Genders: A: Girl B: Girl C: Boy

Pregnancy symptoms: More swelling now and I must admit by the end of the day it can be very difficult to walk. These are normal symptoms and I am very blessed to not have any other symptoms. That being said, thank you for praying for us through this journey, so far this pregnancy has been remarkably easy for triplets! Philippians 4:6-7 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Best moment this week: Bekah, AnnaBelle & Maggie were all able to come to the ultrasound this time and were able to see their new brother and sisters! I also getting to see all the babies in one picture! Plus we had an awesome fathers day with the family!

Upcoming appointments: Nothing scheduled yet, but it will be within the next 3-4 weeks.

17 Weeks Anatomy Ultrasound

Here are a couple of pictures from the last ultrasound. All the babies are around 6 oz. which is right where they should be! They took a ton of measurements and pictures of each baby looking at the kidneys, heart, brain, stomach, ect. They also counted all 30 fingers and all 30 toes! The MFM doctor said they all look perfect! 

The Big Reveal!

Unfortunately Chris and our girls could not be at the ultrasound so I had the ultrasound tech write the genders in a card and put it in a sealed envelope so I wouldn't know either! 

I dropped off the wrapped boxes at Party Mart and gave them the unopened envelope. They were excited to help us with our plan and we had so much fun finding out with the whole family!

Two girls and a boy!!!

Most common questions update:

Sleep: I've been sleeping much better as long as I have a lot of pillows!

Food cravings: I haven't had any lately, I have to eat so much that food doesn't sound that good anymore!

Gender: Unknown

Best moment this week: Last week I had my last day at work and a couple of my friends/coworkers threw me a wonderful going away/baby shower!

Ultrasounds!

Here are the ultrasounds of each of the triplets from yesterday's big appointment!

Baby A

Baby B

Baby C

We had a very extensive ultrasound appointment yesterday (almost 3 hours) and met Dr. Tran, one the MFM doctors from OHSU. She was great and said all the measurements from the ultrasound were excellent! It seemed like a very long day but we were so happy to see our babes wiggling all around! We will have another ultrasound in about 3 weeks and should find out the genders. I can't wait!!!

3 babies! Wow!

I thought this was cute....Bekah's new substitute teacher wanted to learn about each child's family. This is what she wrote about her family.

13 Weeks

Here is a list of my most asked questions so far:

Sleep: I'm already waking up 2-3 times a night for trips to the bathroom, so sleeping is on and off! Chris brought home 2 awesome body pillows for me yesterday so I'm a happy camper now!

Movement: Feeling a little flutter every now and then

Food cravings: Green olives

Gender: Unknown

Pregnancy symptoms: Feeling a lot of stretching in my lower abdomen which can be very painful at times but I am so thankful I made it through the first trimester without any morning sickness. Yay!

Best moment this week: Hearing 3 little heartbeats today. Sweetest sound in the world!

Upcoming appointments: I will be seeing OHSU's maternal-fetal medicine team on May 8th which will include a visit with a nutritionist, a genetic counselor and a perinatologist who will be doing an extensive ultrasound. Looking forward to seeing our little beans again!

Also... Thank you MacKenzie Brown for taking my picture every week and for making work so much fun! Check out her website at: http://mabrown12.wix.com/mackenziebrownphotography

We're having Triplets!

 

It's true, Chris and I are expecting... not one, not two but THREE babies! What a blessing! I must admit we were both startled thinking of all the dangers and complications that could come along with carrying triplets and all of the things we will need to care for three babies. Having three little ones all at the same time will be a task but we have three excited little girls ready to help and an amazing family, friends and church family to help and support us!

I will be posting a picture every week and will give an update after doctor appointments.
