I just thought I would give you a mid-week update and tell you about some of the things going on lately.
My contractions are beginning to come more frequently and I end up needing to have the terb shot earlier and earlier every couple of days. I had to have it yesterday around 2:30, which I thought was early. Today, I had to have it at 10:30. This is by far the earliest I have ever had to have it. I am becoming the "talk of the town", so to speak, with the nurses up here. They keep teasing me and asking if I am going for the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest gestation of triplets in history. I told them not hardly. I have heard of triplets going to 36 or 37 weeks before and I doubt I will go that far. Now they are asking me if my family and friends are making bets on when the babies will arrive. I wouldn't doubt it if my nurses are! :)
This morning, I was being monitored and all of the sudden I started smelling a burning smell. I immediately called for my nurse and they came right in. The three nurses and I all smelled the burning smell. The charge nurse called maintenance and had "Mr. Grumpy" come up. I have had several issues with this guy, as have the nurses, because he is so incredibly rude. Anyway, he didn't smell anything, so I asked one of the nurses to bring in a "fresh nose" to see what she thought. By this time, the smell was starting to fade and quickly dissipated, so I guess everything is fine. We've had a few electrical problems with a couple of the outlets in this room, so I was extra concerned about the smell.
I immediately had all these crazy thoughts going through my head like what if this whole area of the hospital goes up in flames and we have to be evacuated. I then go into labor due to all the chaos and moving and my doctor has no place to deliver my babies. :) I know...they are crazy thoughts. What can I say, I am almost 34 weeks pregnant with triplets and have been in the hospital for 8 weeks. I didn't really think deep down that all that would happen, it just went through my mind for a split moment. I thought you all would get a nice laugh out of it.

Oh Amy! I remember being where you are so well!!! I know how incredibly hard each day is and how your mind wonders with worry and fear. You are AMAZING and are doing so well! Each day does count and you are doing the most incredible thing you will ever do...be SO proud of yourself! The end is near and soon you will meet your precious babies and this will all seem like a distant memory!
you are too funny!!
Love YA
Hang in there! And keep a fire extinguisher happy. (If nothing else, you could squirt Mr. Grumpy with it.)
A mom's nose knows! We do have a heightened sense of smell while pregnant, and well, perhaps you've got the sense of a shark right now!!
Almost 34 weeks! What's the deadline? Will they let you go as far as you can (probably not your decision) or when there's a cause for concern? You've done superbly!
Love the laughs! I completely understand the fearful thoughts. Every mom goes through those thoughts. It is that mother bear instinct of wanting to protect your little ones. Don't feel like you are the only one thinking these things. I remember being scared to death about getting in a car with Cadence. I thought every person would be driving crazy and would hit our car. I made Ryan take the back roads home just to be safe! :) Love reading your blog! I am mailing the presents for all the babies tomorrow if all goes well. I am sending them to Kim and Les and I will have them bring the goodies to you. Just a little something that Ryan and I LOVED for Cadence!!! Take care! Keep up the AMAZING work woman! You are truly blessed! Each day those babies hang on is a day closer to them coming home with you instead of later. Almost there! The goal is in sight!!!! :)
funny! i see Christy's msg above mine; when they arrive at our house - I'll let you know. :) Keep up the good work. ;)
Hugs!!
Can we get a calendar, and all sign up for a date? I am putting my $5.00 down on February 5th! :)
Hang in there girl! Think about you often, and I have the Sax and the City DVD's ready to go whenever you need them!
Just waiting for the population in our neighborhood to go up +3!!
