Melissa, I saw your belly pic and you look great!! What a cute bump you have. It sounds like your babies are growing good. At 20 weeks mine were 9, 11, 12 oz. The biggest is the girl. I get a chuckle out of that. She also has the most room but is the hardest one to see on an u/s. Here face is always turned away. She has a nice spine, that's about all I can say at this point! Keep us posted on how your appointment goes this Friday.

My bedrest really isn't bedrest yet, although I should lay down more than I do. I spent a lot of time reclined in my couch with my laptop. This weekend we almost finished the nursery so I was up checking that out and washing and some baby clothing. DH painted the nursery, renovated the closet so it is open with adjustable shelves and bars. We were so happy that we got all 3 full size cribs in our small room!! yay!! Now that all that is done I am going to rest up quite a bit this week. I got that really heavy feeling back after standing for too long.

I posted pictures of the nursery on another thread if you want to take a peek. Before I knew I was having triplets I joined the Sept due date thread but now I will most likely be having them in Aug..it could be July but I really hope it is not that early.
Sept 2008 - Labor Day, a whole new meaning

I see the perinatologist every 2 weeks. My next appointment is this Thursday. I had to get a 2nd 3 hour blood glucose test done because my first 1 hour test was a bit high. They said my number was 49 and they retest everything over 40. Have you girls had this test? I am a bit worried as I have been eating healthy and doing everything I can to be healthy but I was told I was at a higher risk because of age. gulp!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!!
