UPDATED - 32 weeks - HUGE milestone







This past week, I have noticed an extreme amount of growth. My belly is noticeably bigger and the babies kicks are much stronger. I know many of you have said I don't look that big for triplets, which I agree with you...until now. My belly is so big, I have outgrown almost all of my maternity clothes. It is so heavy, every time I switch from one side to the other, it is a workout. I think the profile pictures that we normally take on a weekly basis doesn't give an accurate idea of how big I am because all the babies hang out far on my sides, sometimes they are all on one side believe it or not. So, we decided to take a few pictures from the frontal view to give you a more accurate idea of my size.

We just got back from my doctor appointment and all looks good with them. At this point, baby C (Whitney) is laying on top of the other two and is head down. Koster said Baby C is in the penthouse. Baby A (Tyler) is still breach and is bouncing on his butt on my cervix like a trampoline. Baby B (Hannah) is also breach just a little bit higher than Tyler. My cervix is measuring at 10 mm - not a lot of change, but a little... My doctor now thinks I could go to 34 weeks again. Everyone seems very amazed that I have lasted so long because I am not that tall. I (we) feel very encouraged to have made it this long.

An update on the situation with my doctor going out of town.... She told me the different doctors that would be on call and on which days and she said Trylovich would be willing to come deliver the babies despite who is on call if she is available. So, it is still not for sure who will be delivering. We may actually see if Koster can do it. Whatever happens, we are comfortable with who will be doing the c-section.

Owww! Your belly makes me hurt. About 2 or 3 weeks ago is the last time I could say I had been that big. You are going to feel so "empty" when those babies come. Can hardly wait to see them, but I am so glad they have made it yet another week.

As hard as it is this far along just think how healthy and big your babies will be and how quickly they will get to come home!

Hi Miss Amy!
Well, I have been keeping up with your progress through Amy Clardy, and I am amazed at your strength and courage through this, and the blessings that await!!
Being your neighbor and all... I just want you to know that when you and the babies come home... if you ever need anything, or you are having a "Calgon" moment... all you have to do is CALL!! If I am home, I can be to your house in 2 minutes!! I don't know what I will do when I get there (having no children of my own... you know I am NO baby expert!!) but I can at least hold a baby for you and maybe help you remain sane!! :)
Hang in there girl, and I can't wait to meet these three little angels!
