Week 19

We are at 19 weeks 6 days and going strong.  There is no doubt that we are well over half way there - now the big question is just how far will we go.  I am still going to be hopeful that I can make it to 36 weeks but please oh please I hope that we can at least get to 32.  The Dr has told us that 32-33 weeks is about average for triplets.

As for the babies - everyone looked great yesterday at the 20 week anatomy scan.  There is nothing showing up that is alarming the Dr's and we are happy to hear that.  When we had our scan at 14 weeks we were told that we were having 2 boys and a girl.  I am happy to report that at the 20 week scan it was confirmed - babies A and C are our little men and B is our little lady.  The boys are sitting high and low in the belly and she is hanging out in the middle.  At least now I know who to accuse when I feel them poking around in there. 

Here are our 19w5d pics.

Yesterday we were actually able to see the babies twice and during the first appointment we were able to catch the ultrasound on video.

Karre' recently went on a business trip and requested a belly shot.  I had a hard time getting a good one - so I decided to send her this...

Before she left for her trip she had been trying so hard to hear what is going on in there - so while she was gone I got her stethoscope.  She has loved it!

I get pretty darn cranky and uncomfortable if I am not able to put my feet up mid day.  It is really rather pathetic but it is the way it is.  Last Saturday I was able to rest all day so that we were able to join our frinds at the Tides game.  We almost made it through the whole game - but I became uncomfortable sitting there. 

 All in all everything is going well.  I am growing very quickly - last week I gained 1.25 inches in my waist.  I weighed in at 199 pounds at the Dr's office yesterday.  My appetite is great.  I have stopped feeling gaggy and can actually make it through the 2 minute cycle on my toothbrush again : )  My legs have been super achy and the reflux has increased.  Someday I will tell you about almost  puking on Karre' at 0200 - I think that I would have had to have laughed. 

That is it for this week - below are a bunch of the pictures we were given yesterday - some are better than others.
