Just a quick update!

We are getting things done around the house very rapidly. I have about 2 weeks left before bed rest so time is a ticking. Steve cleaned out the nursery and created a man room that looks more like a toy store now with all his toys from his childhood. He has done SO much for me and I cannot even express how much I appreciate it! So far all is well. We are 18 weeks tomorrow, but I look like I am about 25 weeks! We will post more in details later!

Its about that time...

...to start making the babies room something other than the junk and storage room that it is! We are still trying to decide on a specific "theme" for the room, but have a few ideas in mind for the girls. Steve got me a vermont teddy bear for valentines day - I opened the box and the bear is pregnant too - hahaha. I found that hilarious.

We see that a lot of you have voted for names - we are pretty surprised at the results. We will be announcing the real names in the next week or so, stay posted. The girls are doing well - I had another growth spurt this week (gained about 4 lbs for a total of 20 so far) - 30 more pounds to go!

Otherwise than that, we wanted to let everyone know that our parents will be giving us a co-ed baby shower at the end of March (Sunday 3/29). We want as many of our family and friends to come as possible - yes that does include all those guys out there. We will be sending out an evite in the next week, so if we do not have your email address or you have never received an evite from us before, please post a comment with your email so we can send you the details! :)

26 days and counting until I go on bed rest. :( I will be very good company to any of you who don't work or get bored during the day - hint hint!

Have a great day!

Update from the High Risk Doctor!!

Steve and I just returned from our monthly visit to the high risk doctor. It was a pretty long visit becasue they had to measure all the anatomy of each baby! There is a lot of good news to share! I am doing well and growing as I am supposed to. My cervix is long (which means a lesser chance of preterm labor) and the babies are GROWING! They all weigh about 4 ounces and are about 7 inches in lenght fully stretched out! I am still set to go on bed rest in mid March - the doctor said no exceptions on this one. We have one more appointment today to visit with my OB.

Now...for what you are all waiting for...the sexes. The ultrasound tech that we had today (Maria) did not see any pertruding objects coming out from between the legs, so we all know what that means...we are having 3 baby GIRLS! We are both really happy (although we were hoping for a mix - we are extatic that all 3 babies are healthy and growing).

Love you all and enjoy the pictures! More updates to come!

15 weeks today...and sick

Well we officially hit the 15 week mark - YAY! It seems like it has been a long journey thus far, but thinking into the future - the babies will be here before we know it. On another note, I am sick. I caught a cold (probably from student germs) so I have been home the past 2 day from work. Next week I am off of work so I am hoping this passes by soon! Other than that - getting bigger. Can't feel the babies moving yet, but I know that will be coming soon. We are anxiously awaiting our appointment Monday. 4 weeks ago the babies were only 4 cm in length, now they are said to be almost 4 inches!! Hopefully we will know what we are having! It is great to see all the thoughts you have on what the sexes are...we have some names in mind, but are open to ideas from friends and family! Leave us a comment and help us brainstorm - reading books with 60,000+ names is overwhelming. Bye for now - be sure to check back monday for pictures of our beautiful babies! :)

14 Weeks and counting...

So...I am 14 weeks 5 days today and really starting to show and feel like I am pregnant! I have been showing for a few weeks now, but growing by the minute! So far, I am feeling okay - I have my moments of nausea and random pains, but nothing out of the ordinary. We go see our high risk doctor on Monday, 2/9 as well as our regular OB. They have all been so supportive and informative throughout the process. The current DUE date is June 14th (we will deliver around 34 weeks - hopefully we will make it that far) and I am scheduled to go on bed rest at 20 weeks (March 13th). Keep Steve and I in your thoughts and prayers - we will be updating the site periodically with posts from him and I! Be sure to take the poll - what do you think the sexes are going to be! Hopefully we will find out on Monday, so get your votes in! We love you all!
