Even though the house we’ve been living in is only a couple of miles away from Brian’s office, right across the highway, he has been unable to find a ride to work since he’s been there. So today we moved across the highway to an apartment complex right next door to Brian’s office. This way, […]

Brian and I are constantly arguing over what the babies will look like. He doesn’t believe me when I say my family has strong genes. My father’s family is Swedish, I’m third-generation American. They marry dark people and consistently have blonde-haired, blue-eyed, pale as snow children. My mother is Cajun, brown hair and eyes, and […]

We found out today that we have at least one girl. We couldn’t get a good enough look at the other two today, so we don’t know about them, but Lefty is now Tamara Elayne. Hopefully we’ll be able to see the other two better on Monday, when we go in for the Level III […]

I was supposed to be moving last weekend. We got a call from the apartments last Tuesday; some people who had put a hold on a first-floor apartment never called back, so we got it! Only the move-in date for it was August 21 instead of the 14th. So we still haven’t moved yet, now […]

Pregnancy has definitely been affecting my musical abilities. I sing and play flute (and piano, but I won’t be doing that this fall), and I’ve noticed a lot more trouble with longer passages. Part of it is babies crowding out my lungs; I have a hard time taking a deep breath now unless I’m in […]

I’m one of those people who has to watch the whole time if I get blood drawn or stitches done or anything else. They say to cough before I get a shot or something and I say yeah right, just stick me! I asked the doctor if we couldn’t just lower or get rid of […]

I’ve discovered an interesting thing with my stretch marks. I have a beautiful set from when I was 17 and I gained about 30 pounds during my fourth semester at college. They look just like pregnancy stretch marks, too. They’ve all faded and turned white now. The new ones for the pregnancy started popping up […]

I’m looking forward to the babies’ third birthday. By that time, they should all be walking, talking, and pretty much potty trained. They may not be good at it, but it’ll be a start. They’ll be more like real people then. Well, here comes the fun part of having triplets…Contractions!!! I had a bunch last […]

Comedian Steve Wright: “I was born by ceserean section. Most of the time you can’t tell, except whenever I leave the house I go out through the window.” Brian’s response: “I was born by natural childbirth. Most of the time you can’t tell, except whenever I leave the house I go out through the cat […]

I feel like I’m missing out here. It sounds ridiculous, even to me, but it’s true. It’s not the bedrest or anything else; I can deal with that. Even Brian says bedrest sounds like a dream come true to him; since both of us spend 99% of our time either in front of the computer, […]
