19 weeks and counting

I've still been having pretty consistent back pain, so I decided to try to get comfortable on the floor with Lacy while watching the Sunday afternoon Cowboys game. Isn't she cute? She's just a big baby and loves to cuddle. Actually, she looks a little depressed; I think it was because of that poor game with the Patriots. :) They've done great all season with their undefeated record, winning against the Bears (sorry Joy) and even Buffalo (don't know how they managed to win that game).

I know you guys don't want to hear me ramble on about the Cowboys... how about a weekly belly shot? I am still not feeling them kicking or anything. Koster said that typically starts when they are about a pound.


My 19 week appointment went well. The babies are doing great! Koster thinks they are a good size for their age and she commented on their length. She said they look long, like they are going to be tall. They must be getting their height from their daddy at 6'1" because I definitely am not contributing to it at 5'4".

The babies weight has pretty much doubled since my last appointment with Koster three weeks ago.
Baby A (boy) 11 ounces
Baby B (girl) 10 ounces
Baby C (girl) 10 ounces

My cervix is doing great--long and strong and closed. If I remember correctly, it is longer than it was at the last visit.

The heartbeats were still all pretty close to one another. Surprisingly, the boy's (poor boy needs a name) heartbeat was fastest at 150. The two girls were at 147 and 140. Koster double checked to make sure they were still indeed the same sex and luckily they were. Our girls were not being too modest during the sono yesterday. It was so funny! So, no sex changes yet and hopefully never! LOL

Speaking of names... we have one girl name picked out, but I am not going to tell you yet until we have picked out all of them. ha ha Yes, I know some of you already know what it is.

Here is baby A, he is posing ever so well as usual.

I think baby girl B posed the best this time...usually "the boy" is the most cooperative. Hopefully this is a sign our girls won't be such a hand full. :) :)


Check out baby C in this shot, she looks freaky. The way she is looking straight at us... its the alien baby! j/k I am not a bad mom for saying she looks freaky, its just a joke. You have to admit, she looks scary. She would not hardly cooperate at all this time. Maybe she is getting ready for Halloween!


On another note, Craig brought home some flowers for me the other night. He brought home a bouquet of mixed flowers and roses for me and a separate set of roses - 3 red roses and 1 white rose to represent all of our babies, living and not living. It was so sweet, I wanted to share it with you.


We got our last piece of furniture for the nursery today- the dresser and I am so happy with how well it matches. We were afraid we weren't going to be able to find something to match very closely, but this dresser matches so well, it looks like a set. And it doesn't look bad at all in front of the window. I would rather it be against a wall, but it doesn't look bad. I can still see out the window, so it doesn't look too much like a prison even with all the bars on the cribs. :)

We have our first shower this weekend. I'll post some pictures soon.

Amy, the roses made me cry. That was sooo sweet. I don't know what I'd do with 7 kids, but that white rose really made me miss the three we lost.
