34 Weeks!

33 weeks and we're all ready!

We are so happy to have made it this far! One week past the average for delivering triplets, woohoo! At my last doctor appointment I was measuring at 50 weeks pregnant. Whoa! Even though I'm so ready, I know that everyday the babies stay in there the less time they will need to stay in the NICU. Everyday is a milestone and a blessing! 

My last appointment with the specialists is scheduled for next Wednesday. I hope we can get a couple pictures this time!

Here are some pictures of the room. We are all ready for our babies to come home!

Most common questions update:

Sleep: I have only been getting about 3 hours of sleep at night. Lots of tossing and turning. It's been very hard to get comfortable and I seem to be starving by about 3 am! Haha! I suppose the babies are preparing me for what's to come! Thankfully a movie usually keeps the kiddos busy long enough for me to have a nap in the afternoons!

Movement: Still moving like crazy! Sometimes I think they are trying to break out of there, they are definitely getting stronger! 

Food cravings: Still no cravings but I'm trying to keep up my calorie and protein intake and have also started drinking protein drinks regularly. 

Names: A: Ella B: Eva C: Evan

Pregnancy symptoms: Starting to feel stretched to the max! I'm not sure how I could possible get any bigger. Staying off my feet is the only way to keep the swelling under control and all the joints in my hands are starting to ache. Other than the other obvious pregnancy symptoms I'm doing very well. Still no bed rest although there are days I'd rather stay in bed! Chris and the girls are taking very good care of me!

Best moment this week: Getting every last thing we need for the babies arrival. Chris has been working overtime to get the house ready! We are still hoping to make it another 7 weeks but are prepared for them to come anytime now! (I will post pictures of the room soon)

Upcoming appointments: We have 2 appointment the first week of September. I will give another update at 31 weeks.

Appointment update

I've had 2 appointments in the last week! Babies are growing like little weeds now. They have all grown about 1 pound each within last 4 weeks! I'm measuring at 46 weeks pregnant now and growing by the minute (yikes!). We are just so happy everything is going so well and I am most thankful for no bed-rest!!!

Here are some new ultrasound pictures... With names :)

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!
