Mother-to-Be Mothers Day!!!

Mike surprised me with Flowers on Mothers Day! What a husband!

8 Months Pregnant

Today I am 8 months pregnant, hard to believe. 32 weeks is a huge milestone for triplets!!! I have been dealing with migraines this week and unable to sleep much at night but getting by. Grandma Purfeerst was able to drive me to both doctors appt. this week and everything still looks good. I am trying my hardest to keep these babies in me!

8 Months: 32 Weeks Ultrasound

This week I had two appointments. At each appointment an ultrasound is done to look at the babies amniotic fluid, heartbeats, breathing, and movement. They are all doing so well. Next Thursday they will measure the weights again. Here is another video of the Rockstar Baby C. He sits right on top so it is easy to get pictures and videos of him!

We never are able to get pictures of Baby B as she is always hiding from us! Here is a picture of her face.

31 Weeks Pregnant

I am now going into the clinical twice a week for ultrasounds and OB visits. Babies are doing great. They are very active and you can see them moving in my tummy! Baby C weight is 3lbs 13oz, Baby B weight is 3lbs 8oz and Baby A is the peanut of the group weighing 2lbs 13 oz. We have to keep a close eye on Baby A as she is growing at a smaller rate. Her abdominal size is in the 8th percentile which is very low so we want to make sure she does not go into any distress. Everything else looks great on her but they will be watching her closely. Baby B kidneys have been a little concern throughout the pregnancy but it looks like they are doing just fine and nothing to worry about, just monitor.
We have been so blessed and hoping to make it to at least 34 weeks! They will deliver me at 36 weeks if the triplets decide to stay in me that long! They gave me 2 Betamethasone shots which is a steroid to help advance babies lungs, digestive tract, and brain just in case they decide to come early.
Keep praying for these miracles!

First Hospitalization

Mike and I have been extremely lucky that we have not been in the hospital yet with the triplets. Starting on Monday the 25th I was having extreme left sided pain. It happened 3 times lasting about an hour. It was a very hard day. Tuesday I had another attack and was scared something was wrong. My friend Cindy and Grandma Purfeerst went with me to UMMC Riverside to get check out. They admitted me for observation and monitored my contractions. Mike later met us in the hospital after work. I was in for a total of 8 hours and was luckily discharged by 9pm. The left sided pain went away and not sure what was causing the pain. I was having contractions but that is normal at 30 weeks with triplets. I had an ultrasound and babies looked great, no distress! Mike and I were so relieved. They ended up doing some tests and everything was coming back normal! We went home that night feeling like it was a reality check for us and getting nervous for the real event.

7 Months Pregnant

Ultrasound: 28 Weeks-7 Months

Here are some pictures of Baby A and Baby C. Baby B was behind Baby A at this ultrasound so she was hiding from us! They are growing and getting big! Baby A weighs 2lbs 3 oz. Baby B weighs 2lbs 7 oz. and Baby C weighs 2lbs 9 oz.
