I have new stats on the girls... as of my Tuesday ultrasound Lia
weights in at 3 lbs 5 oz (60
th percentile) Brynn is a whopping 2 lbs 14 oz (50
th percentile) and little Claire had a great growth spurt and is tipping the scales at 2 lbs 10 oz (40
th percentile.) They seem to be thriving... and I couldn't be more happy with their progress. I hit 29 weeks tomorrow. I take medication as needed to stop my contractions, which are becoming more frequent. My cervix is still holding strong and measured 3.9cm. Odd considering that last time it was 3.7 cm. Can a
cervix grow? Whatever, who really cares. I'm getting more and more tired and it's getting harder to move, but I'm still only on modified bed rest. I figured out that with three 3 lb babies, 3 placentas and 3 sacs of amniotic fluid, I'm carrying around what would be equal to a singleton pregnancy with roughly a 15 pound baby. By the time I'm finished hopefully the girls put on at least another 1 1/2 to 2 pounds, so by then I'll feel like I'm lugging around what would be a single pregnancy of a 20 pound baby.
Sheesh, Miriam only weighs 25 pounds. Speaking of my sweet little
Miri, I look back at how difficult I thought the end of my
pregnancy with her was and want to laugh. When I was 39 weeks pregnant with her I thought I was so miserable I couldn't go another day so I went out jogging to induce labor. Well, it worked. My contractions started that afternoon, water broke at midnight and I
delivered her at noon the next day. Oh, life was so simple then. What I wouldn't give to only feel 39 weeks pregnant :)
OK, so I have to post a picture of our enormous stroller. We weren't able to find a store that carried it, as it's probably not the highest demand item, so we read great reviews on it and ordered it online. When it showed up on the porch in 2 massive boxes, I knew it was going to be huge, but I'm telling you, this thing is ridiculous. It's about 6 feet long and has a freaking steering wheel. Not to mention it was insanely expensive. Unfortunately, there aren't many triplet strollers to choose from. The stroller is so big you can't even see our dining room table that is swallowed up behind the stroller.
And last, I just think these little booties are adorable. They are about 2 inches long. Awww...

Love, Love, Love the updates!! Keep up the hard work. You may feel like crap, but boy you don't look like crap!!!
Thanks for the updates! All Josh could say when he saw the picture of the stroller is "oh my gosh." Good luck over the next couple of weekS!
Keep up the good work! I'm glad that the girls are all growing! It was good to see you the other day, hopefully we can get together soon. Let me know if you need anything at all.
glad to hear the babies are doing so well!
Wow, you are a trooper girl. I am so happy to hear about the good news on their weight, especially Claire's. You still look so little. I know you feel huge, but you don't look like there is more than one baby in there. I love that stroller. That is the Cadi of all strollers! Miri is going to want a spot in there too! Thanks for the updates. We are pulling for you everyday. Take it easy. Let us know if you need anything.

Hey just wanted to let you know that I found a pretty good deal on diapers this week - not free but still pretty good. I don't know if you're set with diapers for a while but just wanted to let you know cause I'm sure you'll need plenty of them. Call me if you want me to tell you about it. Talk to you soon!
Okay, so I think I need to shoot Garr as he found the need to point out that somehow I look bigger than you and I'm only carrying one. :))
I'm so happy to read that everything is going so well! Are you getting anxious yet?
