Our Three Blessings

I had another appointment today. I'm happy to still be impressing my doctor with how well I'm doing. My body is holding up great and the babies just keep growing right along. I'm feeling great still other than my hip is still really hurting (where Ethan has taken up residence). I guess having hip pain isn't normal, not even with triplets. So it's just me and the same issues I've always had with my hips, knees, and feet...yaa me. Only Seven more weeks. They did a weight scan of the babies today. Baby 1 (Ethan) - 3 lb 2 oz Baby 2 (Leah) - 2 lb 13 oz Baby 3 (Logan) - 2 lb 12 oz They gave us pictures again from the ultrasound, but they are getting really cramped in there. Baby 1 Baby 2 - you can kind of see her spine and head, but not much of her profile. Baby 3

We had a great day yesterday visiting with family. I can't believe how warn out I got after just sitting around all day at other peoples houses, but it was fun.

There are two things you can count on every week...Me getting bigger and the Lions loosing. I guess cheering them on and wearing our jerseys hasn't helped. Unfortunately my jersey really doesn't fit any more. I'm excited to be in my third trimester but over the last week I've been getting stretch marks. I'm happy, because it means the babies are growing...but the'er stretch marks. At least I can't see them myself without having to look in a mirror, I can avoid mirrors.

Moving right along. I can't believe how quickly the weeks are flying by and before we know it there will be 3 babies around here...9 more weeks! The babies are doing great and wiggling all over the place. I've felt the 2 boys have the hiccups so far and Leah is still trying to break out thru my nonexistent belly button. We got to see the babies again yesterday at the dr . Everyone is still looking good and doing well. The pictures we ended up with this week are neat. They definitely take after me with their big cheeks. Baby 1 (Ethan) - Those big cheeks are cute, and it's neat to be able to see his eye lids in the picture. Baby 2 (Leah) - She's so cute already, watch out boys! (and dad) Baby 3 (Logan) - He wanted a profile instead of a front view of his face, but we did catch him with his mouth wide open and we can see his little nose.

Over the weekend Eric's Mom and neighbor Robin came over and decorated our house for Christmas (Thanks!!). It turned out great and the tree looks better than anything we've ever done ourselves. It's nice having the house look so festive since I'm here all the time. The show we've been having also helps make it feel festive. We made Missy stay out side a little longer than she wanted...but we got a cute picture.

I'm so excited, the cribs, changing table, and chair finally got delivered this weekend. We spent a whole day after that trying to find the dining room again, it was the temporary storage spot for all the shower gifts. For starters we are keeping one of the cribs in our room and they will all bumk together for a while. Then once they get a bit bigger we'll move the 3rd crib into the room with the other two... They are going to be cozy all in the same room together. We still need to put up the curtains, a ceiling fan, and get everything organized. Here are the latest photos of their room and ours.

I had another dr apt today. They did the weight scan to predict the weights of the babies. They are doing great! I guess the 40 pounds I've gained so far has been put to good use towards the almost 6 pounds of baby already. I also took my 1 hour gestational diabetes test and passed with flying colors. I'm really happy I don't have to watch what I eat and eat and eat... Baby 1 (Ethan) 2 lb 1 oz It's definitely getting more cramped in there, you can see someone elses foot in the background. Baby 2 (Leah) 1 lb 15 oz Baby 3 (Logan) 1 lb 13 oz
