Trick or Treat!

Happy Halloween everyone! Aside from passing out Halloween candy, we spent the evening doing arts and crafts! Scotty is quite the painter!

Week 25....CAUGHT

I walked into our extra room last night and saw Scotty sorting through our baby stuff...."trying" it all out. He dressed a bear in some baby clothes and proceeded to put in in a baby bjorn and carry it around, he practiced using the car seat, and then a swing. Very sweet.....daddy in training.

Week 24

We made it to the big 24! I wasn't sure why exactly this was a big week, but we went to the Dr. today and he said the babies are "viable" as in, they could be born now and have a high survival rate. We have "mini goals" now. We want to make it to 28 weeks, then 30, then 32, and then they could be born any time after 32 weeks. Everything still looks good. My cervix is at 3.98, and anything over 3.5 is good. He had me push down on the top of my belly and I think Scotty almost had a heart attack thinking I was going to push one of the babies out. Baby C was very photogenic (he must take after his mother...haha) He was smiling for the camera and moving his tongue around, it was really neat to see! Baby B barely stays still and Baby A is very mellow. I think A is the most squished, so he doesn't have much of a choice! They all weight about 1.75 pounds. My movement is now on a "very limited" basis. I can take walks as long as someone is with me. So far so good! Let's hope this continues!

Week 23

Well, I'm on week 23, and into my last week of work. I worked one full week when I tracked back on, and I am now doing half days this week. My long term sub is doing the mornings, and I am doing the afternoons. I am actually really exhuasted working just 3 hours! What a turn around. I still feel fine, just exhausted when up for too long. The Dr. now has me on bedrest 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon. As of now, I have gained 33 pounds. WOW! It's for a good cause though. That means our boys are getting bigger and stronger! Right now Baby A and C are each 1.7 pounds and Baby B is 1.6. They are developing as they should be and everything looks good so far. The babies are officially moving around like crazy. I don't think I eve got to that "butterfly" sensation, I think we went straight to kicking me in the belly. I can feel it really strong from the outside. It's weird because it comes from all over. One side, then all the way on the other. I think they are already fighting!

The collection begins...

This is a look at our "baby room" PRE baby shower. Yikes!!!
