Lance...

B has been babysitting me for the past several days. He is going crazy! He gets very antsy. He keeps telling me we should just pack up our things and go home to have the babies. I really wish I could but I know UAMS is the best place for them. I know I sound like a nutcase but I give him one outing a day and then he goes with me at night for my one outing. I'm not a control freak I'm just helpless! I'm also paranoid that I will go into labor or some other freak thing will happen when he's not here and I will have to ask a neighbor to drive me to the hospital!
He is obsessed with bike riding... So for his one outing he usually goes and rides trails somewhere in LR. He always has a crazy story when he comes home. One day a guy fell off the side of a cliff, another day he wrecked, etc. Oh and don't worry. He does not wear any spandex. He has a few little outfits but they are all very loose! ha Oh and poor Caroline. He parks his bike in the middle of her living room. Even if it's covered in mud he wheels the thing in! If something happened to that bike he would probably shed some tears so I guess it's a good thing he keeps it locked up! He can't wait to take the babies for bike rides in a baby bike trailer thing. I'm not sure what we are going to do with the third baby though because those things only hold two kids and mommy is not a biker. I went with B one time and thought I was going to die. Riding bikes was much easier when I was a kid on my pink banana seat bike.
Yesterday he decided to run instead of bike. B is not a runner! Or I didn't think he was. He must have a lot of built up energy or he just wanted his outing to last longer so he ran several miles and over did it! Guess who has a cankle now?? He is hobbling around, whining like a baby. He is getting zero sympathy from me!

I've turned into a camel.

The amount of water I drink is OUT OF CONTROL! The Brita Water pitcher is my new best friend. I can drink all of the water out of it before it has time to get cold in the frig. I don't even use ice because it takes up too much room in the glass! I usually drink at least 32 ounces during the night and wake up soo thirsty. I decided to try to keep up with exactly how much I drink a day. So far I've had 96 ounces today. It's 4 o'clock. I think I probably have at least a gallon and a half a day. I'm not sure where it's all going.. Maybe that's why my stomach is huge.. It's filled with water.

Coco and Layla are even drinking the Brita filtered water. Our dogs, especially Coco, are so spoiled they prefer to drink out of a glass. At our house we have to keep a glass on a coffee table in our bedroom filled with water and during the night Coco drinks out of it. She will cry until we fill it up. It's funny (and gross) how many people have walked in our room and drank out of Coco's glass. It's not always a bad thing to be a germaphobe like me!!! So of course she has a glass in LR too. Every time B comes in the bedroom to fill up my water he fills up hers. How spoiled are my dogs???

Nursery Sneak Peak

The babies dresser/book case



Coco and Layla testing out the new carpet



The turquoise wall. The rest of the walls are white. The bathroom is also turquoise and we painted the vanity cabinets glossy black.

This isn't really a sneak peak. It is all that there is to see. As I've mentioned before, I have been a huge slacker on the nursery. So I've turned it over to my mom. She has been way more productive than I ever was! We are still waiting on the crib bedding, curtains, a mirror that I love, the Glider (B's dad is recovering it for us), several pieces of artwork, lamps for the dresser, the shower curtain, and I'm sure a few more things I can't think of. Once the babies are here I am going to turn their pictures into pop art for above the crib. So it's going to be a while before this all comes together! Everything except for the mirror and the pop art canvases should be ready in a few weeks. I can't wait to see pictures!

Thanks mom!

What 30 weeks preg with triplets looks like.. Scary

While we were waiting for the doctor today I made B take a tummy picture. Wow.... Its crazy because the night before I left Fayetteville B and I had a date night. We went to eat at Doe's on Dickson. All night people were staring at me. Not in a "Oh look, a pregnant girl. How sweet" way. In a "what is going on with her stomach" way. They were probably wondering why I was walking around Dickson street too... Now, when people see me mouths are hanging open. I'm that big.

I had my 30 week check up today with Dr W. So far everything looks great! I didn't have an ultrasound but he measured my stomach and said I'm measuring 45 centimeters which is basically like I'm 45 weeks pregnant with one baby and I would be full term with twins. I tried to pin him down on a date for a c section but he said "oh I won't deliver them until 36-37 weeks." What!!! 37 weeks??? If I make it that far sign me up for the circus because I will be a freak show. He said he thought I would probably definitely make it to 34 weeks which I think is doable! I'm really not that miserable. I'm scared to say this pregnancy has been a breeze because I know that could all change tomorrow. But... it really hasn't been that bad at all. I've had no heartburn, back pain, swelling, headaches, my skin hasn't changed at all, I don't even have that wierd line under my belly button. I've had a few rough days when I was just so sick of laying down and being bored but it's not anything I can't handle. Hopefully the next several weeks will fly by!
I can't wait to have an ultrasound next week! I love to see little pictures of them! Oh and I think I gained two pounds although they lost my weight from my last visit so I'm not really sure! I'm shocked it wasn't like 15lbs! I also asked him if my C-section recovery would be more painful than a c-section for one baby. He of course said "oh yes, definitely. It's really going to be painful. You will probably have some digestive issues after and you could lose a lot of blood." Wow! Sounds fun! I need to learn to keep my mouth shut and stop asking questions.
So I could have them in four weeks, 6 weeks, or tomorrow! Who knows! I really am like a ticking time bomb! I keep forgetting to pack my bag for the hospital! I've got to get on that!

Happy Birthday to Moi!

I turned 28 on the 8th! I really had a great day! My mom made me breakfast, I opened my gifts, laid around all day and then went to dinner with friends. I have a feeling my birthday will be very different next year! I really need to enjoy being lazy and being waited on!

I'm so sick of wearing my uniform of leggings and huge shirts! I can't wait to go shopping! I told my mom I wanted clothes for my birthday! I really should have taken pictures while I was trying on the shirts she got me! It was comical. I'm surprised I didn't rip them! She also got me a purse that I love and cute pj's for the hospital! My mom really goes all out for Birthdays! I can't wait to spoil the triplets too! It will be so fun to celebrate three birthdays in one day! B has no idea what he is in for!



Thanks to Caroline, Ava is set for the rain! Aren't these little shoes so cute? Are they really going to be that small?




B got me one of my favorite presents! He brought Coco and Layla for a visit! They have literally been attached to my hip since they got here. I've missed them so much! It's crazy but I slept so well the first night they were here because Coco was back on my pillow and Layla was at my side! B did a pretty good job on my presents too. He always waits until the last minute! The day before my birthday he started calling for my list. I really couldn't think of anything! I definitely don't trust him to pick out clothes! I finally thought of a few things I wanted and sent him a list. I think it said "Adobe photo shop and the white deer head from Z Gallery for the boys room" the text I got in return was "What the hell? In English please" Soo... Caroline offered some assistance and ordered it for him with his cc number. I can't wait to start playing with photo shop! The babies need to stay put for a few more weeks so I will have time to learn how to use it! I'm hoping it will work some magic on my pictures! The deer head is really for B. I painted one wall in the boys room turquoise and he flipped out... According to B, boys rooms should have bunk beds and camouflage comforters and dead animals on the wall. The white deer head is a compromise. I've also had to promise him that once the boys are big enough they can have bunk beds. I'm just glad he doesn't want them to have a fold out couch! When he was little he made his mom buy him a fold out couch instead of a bed so he would have more space in his room to play. Thank goodness I get to handle the decorating...

These flowers brightened my day and Caroline's apartment! Thanks Emily!



We went to Ferneau for my birthday dinner. We had such a great time and the food was delicious! Thanks again mom! I felt like I was out on the town! I almost forgot I was pregnant. Then I saw a picture of myself and it was back to reality!






My wild birthday night took it's toll! I was so tired the next day! I was in my pj's until 6 o'clock! B's parent's came to visit and took us out to dinner for my birthday! The food was delicious! I have a feeling I'm going to break a record when I step on the scales at the doctors office tomorrow!
Alex won a stuffed animal for the babies out of a claw machine. She tried to win two more but those machines are tough! The babies can share!

I think 28 is going to be a fun year!

Slumber Party!!!

Sarah came to visit Monday! I think this will be my last slumber party until Ava has one! Then I will just be the annoying mom telling all of the kids to be quiet and go to bed! I felt like we were in high school again! My mom was here too so she cooked for us! She even made us breakfast the next morning. It really felt like 9th grade! Instead of prank calling boys all night we stayed up and made bows for Ava! Crafty Sarah brought me a bag full of ribbon and supplies and taught me how to make bows. I still need a little practice! Her bows turned out way better than mine! I really wanted bows so you could tell Ava apart from the boys. I have a feeling I will have three bald babies. I hope Ava has a little hair to attach the bows to! I don't think B or I had hair until we were two or three. I also don't have heart burn at all! So you know what that means... Bald Babies! You would think with three babies I would be eating Tums by the handful!

Our bows!



Sarah has been my go-to girl for C-Section questions. We had a little show and tell session at our slumber party. She brought a bag of supplies to show me what to expect! Brandon looked in it tonight and said "why do you have adult diapers?" I have to admit I wondered the same thing! I'm so glad I have friends that have babies! I would drive my doctor crazy if I had to call him every time I had a question!

New York New York

Ann, if you would like to borrow the fake hair piece I'm sporting in the above picture for your big weekend I can send it with Karrie. I think I still have that thing. If I remember correctly, this is a picture we took before we headed to Memphis for NYE. I was a senior in high school and Ann was a freshman in college. This was the night I lied and told a guy I was a Chi O at the U of A. His response was 'oh really, then you know my sister ____ she's in your pledge class" I think the fake hair gave me a little too much confidence.

I wish I could go to New York this weekend to celebrate Ann's last days of being single! I really think the babies could hang but I would hate to ruin the party if I went into labor at a club or something! Everyone drink a glass of champagne for me! Take lots of pictures! Have fun!
