32 Weeks

32 Weeks!  Another big goal met!  Every day and week I make it longer is a victory for our babies.  Many of you may be wondering what it feels like to be 32 weeks pregnant with triplets.  Suprisingly, I am not miserable.  At 5'11'', my height and long torso has given me a huge advantage when it comes to being pregnant with three babies.  I am most comfortable laying down on my side.  Standing, sitting up, or walking can become uncomfortable quickly depending on how the babies are positioned.  If I were not on doctor prescribed bed rest, I would be spending most of my time laying down regardless.  Some days my belly is sensitive or itchy from the rapid growth. I deal with the same struggles that most women at the end of their pregnancy deal with such as: difficultly get up from the couch or bed, rolling over from side to side, and getting dressed.  Luckily, I have not suffered from any swelling even in this extreme heat.  However, this week I have begun to experience some tingling/numbness in my hands, especially at night.  I feel extremely blessed to be feeling this well at this stage in my pregnancy.  Derek even commented the other day that he was suprised at how well I am doing.  Only a few more weeks to go!

How far along: 32 Weeks
