26 Weeks

26 weeks and counting!  Every passing week brings me joy and a little relief! I have had several people ask if we know or have any idea when the triplets will be born.  The simple answer is: we have no idea.  They could come any day.  We hope they do not arrive before July.  I will be 32 weeks the last week of June, the average gestation period for triplets. That is just 6 weeks away!  I am still really hoping to make it till mid to end July, between 34-36 weeks. That is only 8-10 weeks away.  My doctor says I will not make it to August.  My prayer is my body will cooperate and allow me to carry them as long as possible.

How far along: 26 Weeks

Weight gain/loss: 2 lbs gained. Net weight gained: 27

Maternity clothes: Yes, but with my rapidly growing belly and long torso my maternity wardrobe is quickly diminishing.

Sleep: Ok...depends on how the babies are positioned.

Best moment this week: Receiving a great report from the doctor!

Miss Anything? My freedom...bed rest has its pros and cons
Movement: Yes, times 3!
Food cravings: milk, Nannie's banana bread, Chocolate Raspberry Truffle ice cream from Bruster's.
Anything making you queasy or sick: very rarely!
Have you started to show yet? Measuring 42 weeks (cm)
Gender prediction: Boy, Boy, Boy!
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? still in...
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy
Looking forward to: Spending next week with just Derek while he takes a week of vacation to do some final prep work for the triplets. Ben will be in Chattanooga for the week.  I have never been away from him this long, so it's a little bitter sweet.
