Hey ladies! Its so great that there are so many of us! I know 4 is not the many, but compared to how many triplet momma's I meet in my everyday life we're a bunch!

At my 19wk u/s the boys weighed 10 & 9oz & baby girl weighed 8oz. Our 10oz'er was ahead of the expected singleton size by 1wk, and baby girl was behind by a week. She started out a week behind though as she was my late implanter & it took almost a week for her to catch up to the boys with a heartbeat. I am not concerned about her & neither is my OB. She's just the lil pea :-)

Since my OB has told me all along that I will be on bedrest at 24wks I had the chance to get everything done between 13wks-now. The babies room is completely done, with clean folded clothes, sheets and blankets in drawers (probably the last time that'll ever happen!). We also have all our gear, ie infant carseats & peg perego triplette stroller (which I found used in excellent condition on Ebay for $250 & picked it up, so no shipping!). All we need now is the minivan, but DH can get that by himself. We have his car up so sale, so as soon as that sells. Worse case we can always bring them home in 2 cars! So, are all of you ready?

My OB told me that I should expect to be on hospital bedrest before its over as he expects me to go into labor prematurely at some point & plans to give me drugs to stop it. I am just praying that this labor will not go as it did with my DD because it only lasted 2hrs, with her being born just an hour after we arrived at the hospital. My OB & I are hoping that I will make it to 37wks (Sept 17th) then he will do my c-section. He wouldn't even consider a vaginal birth & since I have read some scary vaginal triplette birth stories online I am not pushing the issue. I am happy that I had at least one unmedicated natural childbirth experiance in my life. I figure now I can relate to mommies with both extreme experiances.

Sorry for the long post. Its just so exciting to share with fellow triplet momma's!
