31 days in the hospital. 31 weeks 2 days pregnant with identical triplet girls. I haven't been very good at posting updates the last couple weeks. It's been quite the physical and emotional roller coaster. Everything had been pretty steady and stable up until October 30th. On the 30th we had a growth scan ultrasound. We hadn't had one since we were admitted on the 9th so we were excited
29 weeks today!!! 15 days in the hospital and counting. They haven't done growth scans of the babies since we were admitted two weeks ago so we're not sure how they're measuring now. The next growth scan will be next week. As you might remember from my last post, Baby C had intermittent absence of diastolic flow in the umbilical cord (AEDF). When the baby’s heart beats, it pushes the blood through
On Wednesday of this past week, Alvin & I made our way to the hospital for one of our regular ultrasounds that are done every two weeks. I was 26 weeks and 6 days pregnant. All the babies looked good but when they got to doing measurements and estimating the size of each baby, the doctor became a bit concerned. All babies had grown and gained about 4-5 oz. in
Maternity clothes? Yes and some of them are too small Stretch marks? Some small ones on each side and hip Sleep? Sleep is continuing to get more uncomfortable but is not bad most nights. My belly is feeling much heavier so rolling over is challenging. The number of pillows I'm using varies each night. I know this is going to continue get much worse so I'm just thankful I'm actually sleeping still :) Best moment
So much has happened since our gender reveal update at 18 weeks. We rented out our house that we just bought a year ago. We had garage sales, sold most of our furniture and a lot of belongings, put the rest of our belongings in storage, and moved in with my in-laws in Elbert, CO (near Colorado Springs). It's a beautiful ranch style home in the country complete with a
Alvin and I have been dying to know what the gender of our babies are. Above all else we just pray that they are healthy but with 3 babies on the way... there is A LOT of planning to do! My baby shower is right around the corner and I've been trying to register. If you don't have kids, you would't believe how many things only come in pink
Maternity clothes? Yes Stretch marks? None yet Sleep? Not bad still although it is getting more uncomfortable. When I lay on either side too long my hips start to ache but it's getting difficult to roll over easily. As far as number of pillows go I think I'm up to one body pillow, one snoogle (pregnancy body pillow), one memory foam pillow and one small travel pillow that I sleep with. I know this is
Maternity clothes? Yes. I'm still wearing some non-maternity stuff if it's stretchy or loose fitting. Pants are pretty much a thing of the past. I don't want to invest in maternity pants that I'll only wear for a couple months so it's mostly dresses and leggings for me from here on out. Stretch marks? None yet Sleep? Hasn't been bad other than having to get up to pee several times a night.
I just turned 14 weeks today. This was taken yesterday because I almost forget to get my 13 week photo in. The book I'm reading says that a triplet belly is about 10-12 weeks ahead of a singleton belly in size and I'd say that's about right. Maternity clothes? Yes. I'm still wearing some non-maternity stuff if it's stretchy or loose fitting. Pants are pretty much a thing of the past.
A peek at a recent maternity session.... what a beautiful Momma!
