Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello all! Last week was pretty much the same...uneventful, which is good. I didn't do too much all week and the babies are still doing great.

We had maternity pictures taken. My brother, sister in law and their three kids came out to our house to take some shots of us. Thanks so much Kevin and Jill! It was fun playing "dress-up" and getting my picture taken, but very tiring at the same time. All the outfit changes and the awkward pose positions... :) I will try to post a few pictures on here when I get them.

My sister in law, Michaela came over one day to clean our house and visit. It was nice to have some girl time and visit for a while, and to have my house cleaned! THANK YOU MICHAELA! I could have never done it by myself.

My last doctor appointment went well. All four of us are doing wonderful. I got a little light-headed and queezy from laying on my back for so long getting my sonogram. The sonographer takes FOREVER. I didn't pass out though, so that was good. :) This week the babies weighed in at:

1 pound 6 ounces for baby boy A
1 pound 5 ounces for baby girl B
1 pound 5 ounces for baby girl C

I was glad to see our girls catching up to our son.



This is my newest eating station - my "high chair". Eating is becoming so difficult with my belly getting so big. This way, I can basically just shovel the food right into my mouth. LOL



We finished up the second half of our child birth classes this past weekend. It was much more informative than the first one was. We had a couple with 7 month old twins come in and talk to us and answer any of our questions. It was helpful to hear their story, watch them with their babies and ask questions, but it was also very overwhelming! We also took a tour of the hospital...we got to see the NICU, the nursery, the birthing rooms (for those delivering vaginally) and the recovery rooms. It was encouraging to see the hospital rooms and areas where we will be spending quite some time and to see how everything works. It was also kind of weird taking the tour because me and one other triplet mom were wheeled around the tour in wheel chairs. I felt silly, but I needed it after sitting in one position all day and walking around the hospital that late in the day would have been very hard for me.

Now, we just have one class left...the CPR and child safety class. I am really looking forward to this class because I know it will give me more peace of mind to know that I have some clue as to how to save my children's life if need be. Craig is already trained on all this stuff and goes through periodic training for his job. But, he will be coming with me anyway...never hurts to have a refresher course.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all! We are so thankful and blessed to have our three precious, healthy babies growing so well, and to have such wonderful family and friends supporting us. We hope you have a wonderful holiday with your loved ones.
