Still here

32 weeks--49.5 cm., but why don't we just call it 50, okay?! At this point, what's the difference?

Ouch, it ALL hurts.

Bigger still...

31 weeks: 48.5 cm.
Doctor Terry is letting me stay at home for another week. This is the most unbelievable, challenging, body-changing physical experience I've ever had! My back hurts and walking is a huge chore. Not to mention getting up out of bed to make my nightly pit-stops. Thank goodness we have a bathroom close to my bed!

New Measurements

New Measurements
Yesterday we had an ultrasound:
Baby A: 3 pounds 15 ounces!
Baby B: 3 pounds 10 ounces!
Baby C: 3 pounds 7 ounces!

The doctors are amazed because each baby measures bigger than gestational age. Having delivered large babies in the past (Ben was 9 lbs. 13 oz. at 39 weeks and Tanner was my smallest at 8 pounds at 38 weeks), I keep trying to convince them that I cook 'em fast. Now they are starting to believe me. We are on the home stretch, and this is the LONGEST home stretch ever.

And my measurements?
30 weeks today and 47 cm! Ugh!

Something wonderful about fall...

SOCCER BOYZ!

Tyson and Ben love soccer and even though I can't go to their games this fall, I love seeing them in their cute uniforms! I miss sitting at the games in the cool autumn air watching my cute boys kick and run and kick and run! There's nothing quite like kids loving sports on green grass in the fall!

30 WEEK BELLY

Okay, I know it is incredibly fascinating for you all to actually know someone who is pregnant with triplets. I also know that you are all SO curious to see how big my belly will actually get! And some of you live far away from me and keep emailing me asking for pictures. It's nice to know that someone is enjoying my growth! By popular demand, here are new pictures of my 30 week belly. By the way, I now measure almost 46 cm, which is the equivalent of 6 weeks overdue for a single pregnancy. Yesterday my doctor told me about a twin delivery he did last week where the gal measured a whopping 54 cm.! It made me feel not quite so huge.

BY THE WAY, DID YOU NOTICE THE CALENDAR TODAY???

IT'S OCTOBER!!!!!!!!!!!

NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I BEEN SO EXCITED TO ENTER A NEW MONTH! NOT EVEN WHEN I WAS LITTLE AND I COULD HARDLY WAIT FOR MY BIRTHDAY OR CHRISTMAS! NOT EVEN WHEN I WAS ENGAGED AND WE ENTERED THE MONTH OF MY WEDDING! NOT EVEN IN ANY OF MY LAST 4 PREGNANCIES--THAT EXCITEMENT PALES IN COMPARISON! IF I COULD JUMP UP AND DOWN, I'D BE DOING THAT RIGHT NOW. WHY DON'T YOU ALL JUMP UP AND DOWN FOR ME A COUPLE OF TIMES, OKAY? YES, JUST LIKE THAT....THANK YOU!
