Hi everyone, I just wanted to write a quick post on how I am doing since I know a lot of you are following this blog! I am counting down the days for these precious baby girls to arrive. Wednesday I am going to be at 32 weeks which is when most triplet moms deliver, but the way I am going, I might make it until 36 weeks…. lets pray for that!
The babies are doing great, they are constantly moving around and bruising my insides. We have a Dr appt tomorrow and I will be sure to update on hpow it goes. I am constantly growing and so are they, hopefully growing more and more each day! I am more than sore and tired than I can ever describe. Lilly and Kerry have been so helpful to me each and every day.
I am going to try to hold out as long as I can but right now I understand why the other triplet moms beg for a c-section! I don’t know how much longer I can last, its just hurting so much more and more each day, its getting so hard for me to walk and stand, I think if the Dr doesn’t put me on bed-rest, I will do it myself or beg for a c-section soon!
That is how I am doing today, we will see what the ultrasound and the Dr says tomorrow. Pray for the best. Thanks everyone for all the support and care packages. Talking about care packages, our Aunt Mary’s co-worker, who we don’t even know had sent us a care package for the three girls, three beautiful onesies. Thank you so much for thinking of us, we appreciate it! Well good bye for now, I will update how the apt goes tomorrow.

hang in there! it wont feel good, but the reward is HUGE on this!!!!!! if you dont already have one, have someone bring you a good body pillow or two (you will want a pillow case for each-walmart has them-they will get icky)use them to prop your tummy and back when you are on your side-it really helps to have the extra support-you kind of would have to put them side by side, and shoot for getting in the middle of them to get the support close to right! also remember how important your water is! i know when i was 32 weeks, i was having trouble eating anything & when i did, keeping it down was difficult- had really bad reflux caused by my daughter snuggling up and curling into my stomache-not comfy, but i got thru somehow! couldnt eat anything acidic, but did find that dairy products & cracker/bread type foods helped with keeping the effects minimized!
the important thing to do now is to LISTEN to what your body is telling you-remember all contractions can do something! and thats it can feel like a belt tightening – or sometimes you will just see & not feel them-if they put in an appearance, drinking water & changing position will help-even getting up & walking around to break up their timing is helpful-i managed to stay @ home even having a few contractions & made it to 34 weeks (the docs wouldnt let me go any further period-no choice)-
you can do this! its going to hurt, but its worth it-if your body says slow down, then do! & you will do just fine!
congrats on making it this far! you are doing a fabulous job!
