27 week checkup with Dr Fuentes...

...the babies have grown and are now weighing it at 2.1 pounds each - YAY! They are still wanting to get me to 34 weeks (mid June) and from the looks of it I will make it (only 7 weeks - just keep telling myself that). The "growing pains" are constant, but I told the dr. as long as I can keep these babies in I will do it and suck up the pain - poor Steve has to hear me whine but I am sure he undersands (after all he did break his femur - we all remember that)!
Also had my test for gestational diabetes come back good - no diabetes for me and the babies!! The 3.5 hour visit I had and that nasty drink was all worth it to find out everything was fine!
We are scheduled to go to the OB every 2 weeks and the High Risk every 2 weeks, so we will be at the dr at least once a week from here on out!
Otherwise...I am looking forward to spending my birthday with all my awesome friends and family that are coming over to celebrate Saturday! Cant wait to see you all.

XOXO...

26 weeks...and still truckin...

Well...we are definately getting there (slowly but surely - it seems to me like I have been pregnant forever). Things are going well...the girls are moving all the time...kicking...punching...doing cartwheels and somersautls...etc. As Steve says there is a 3 way Diva Battle Royal going on in there...(thats a wrestling match for those who are not familiar).
As far as the Doctors are concerned, the OB has us coming in every 2 weeks now as opposed to every 4 weeks. We see the high risk dr for a sonogram on Thursday and then he will probably want to see us more frequent than every 4 weeks as he is now. We met with a pediatrician this weekend to get that lined up for the girls...so much to think about!
How am I feeling...like a hippopotamus. How do I look...like a hippopotamus or a pot belly pig...whichever is more attractive!
Take care and I will post more after the sonogram!

25 weeks...

...the 5th week on bed rest was okay. I started to have more growing pains, thought they may have been contractions so had to make an unexpected visit to the dr, but everything is okay! Associated with the growing pains is well, I'm growing a lot. I am pretty much the equivalent of a pregnant woman in her last weeks with one baby and I still have a good 2 months (hopefully) to go! I added some more pictures from the shower that I have. If anyone took any please send them to me b/c Steve and I didn't have a camera! Thanks.

Love ya!

We saw the OB today...

...he was proud of us!! He said everything is going well and the girls are right on track - YAY! We had a lot of questions answered today, so it was a very productive visit. We are going to see them every 2 weeks now instead of once a month so they can keep a closer eye on me and the babies. As Dr. Breit said, its crunch time - if anything can/does happen it will be now until delivery date! Let's all pray that we get as far into June as possible until we meet our 3 little girls!
Steve has been busy making onesies for the girls, personalized with all the ELRW men on them (lucky guys)!!
Thats all the news for now - bedrest is still boring, but I gotta do it! :)

TaTa for now!

Thank you...

to everyone that came to the shower! We had such a good time. Thank you for all the phenominal gifts for Skyler, Chloe, and Lily. We tell them everyday how much they are already loved!
We had our usual 4 week check-up this past Thursday and all is VERY well! The girls each weigh just at or over 1 pound each, and are 24 cm in length! They have basically doubled their size in 4 weeks - it is so exciting. They are definately fighting for space becasue we saw them punching, kicking, and pushing each other on the songram - Daddy is alreay teaching them wrestling moves!
Bedrest is well, bedrest. Nothing too fun happening. We organized the babies room so we are set for them when they arrive (not anytime soon, tho - they need to grow more). Kim is feeling good still (minus the random growing pains), but growth is good! We will be posting pictures from the shower and of the nusery as soon as we get them from those of you who had cameras. So if that person is you, please send some our way!

Thank you and we love you all!

Steve and Kim (Skyler, Chloe, and Lily too)
