I finally got back in to see the perinatologist today, and everything is looking good. The stitches are holding and the babies look fine. For the first time ever, all three were sleeping for the ultrasound; then, of course, right when I was wiping the gook off, I got kicked by Caitlin…*sigh* I guess she […]

HELP!!!
This is so sick…I’ve started watching daytime talk shows…SAVE ME!!!
Looking for Books
There is a set of children’s books that I am looking for. I had them when I was a child, and I loved them to death, and I want to get them for my kids. It was a 2-book collection of fairy tales. Not just the standard fairy tales, but all sorts of fairy tales […]
Getting used to the idea
I haven’t yet been able to find any support groups for mothers of higher-order multiples in town yet. There is a group for the national Mothers of Multiples, but my understanding is that they are primarily a twins group; they barely even mention triplets on their website. I could really use some connections; it gets […]
Identical or Fraternal
We’ve wondered for most of the pregnancy which we’d like to have, fraternal triplets or identical triplets, or maybe some of both. Brian thinks identicals would be really neat, although I can’t understand this since it would just make it harder for him to tell them apart. We’ve both thought that it would be better […]
Beginning Bedrest
I came home from the hospital today, and I’m on strict bedrest for at least the next two weeks while the cerclage heals. I’m only allowed to get up to go to the bathroom and shower. I have a doctor’s appointment in two weeks, and they’ll see how I’m doing and maybe let me off […]
Cerclage
I had the cerclage put in today. What an experience! Thank goodness it’s over, though, and I don’t have to worry about losing my babies anymore. I’ve been starving most of the day. I wasn’t allowed anything to eat or drink after 10 in the morning, because of the anesthesia. Brian stayed with me all […]
Level III Ultrasound
We had our first Level III ultrasound today, finally! It was originally scheduled for last week, but apparently the doctor got subpeonaed to testify in court or something, so they had to reschedule it. We had been hoping to find out the sexes before the baby shower so we could tell everybody. The babies are […]
Baby shower
Today I had my baby shower. My friend Laura Stoltenberg threw it for me and we hosted it in the common room at our apartment complex. She completely surprised me with everything she did. She brought all these little sandwiches she made herself, plus all kinds of other food and drinks. She also got me […]
Back online
This week has been extremely frustrating for me. Naturally, my doctor forbade me to do anything on the move except give orders. Unfortunately, this includes unpacking. Our help with the move also didn’t do much unpacking, although I got the kids to do some of the kitchen. So I have been sitting all this week […]
