Doing better!

We are doing good. Moving on and looking toward the future. Aaron did the hard part, the other day while I was taking a nap he put all of Mason's stuff in a box. So glad he did that otherwise I would just go in the room and dwell on all of his stuff.
Ashley started 7th grade today. She was ready when I woke up and 6:30 am. She ate breakfast, we packed her lunch and then I took her to school. She is so excited. She is going to walk to and from school this year. She isn't allowed to walk to or from alone. I am kind of nervous but trust her to do this. Other wise she will become a bus rider.
Aaron left for Germany yesterday, he will be there all week. He has some meetings and is there with his manager going to some of the facilities. He will be back on Saturday. Momma is coming over tomorrow and staying until Thur so we can go through some baby stuff and get the crib put together. Aaron's parents are coming in Friday for the weekend. I can't wait to spend the weekend with them.
Our ladies ministry at church had a diaper shower yesterday. We got alot of diapers. We are so blessed to be surrounded by such wonderful friends and family.
Well that's about all going on over here.
Love ya'll! Staci

Our angel Mason

We went to the Dr yesterday. He broke the news that Mason didn't make it. He just wasn't getting enough oxygen and nutrients. I know he is looking down on his brother and sister and keeping them growing healthy and strong. Like the Dr said Sometimes it's meant to be to give the others more of a chance to be healthy. Dr Kirshon said this shouldn't have an effect on the other 2 babies. Even though it's hard we need to stay positive for our other 2 babies.
Preston weighs 1 lb 12 oz and Lily weighs 1 lb 9 oz. The Dr said the risk of the pregnancy is very low now and that 36 weeks is term for twins. So it looks like I have a while to go. I have gained a total of 30 lbs with 7 being in the last 2 weeks. I go back to the Dr in 2 weeks and will do a glucose test at that time.
Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.
Love, Staci and Aaron

25 weeks!!!!

25 weeks getting bigger!!!!

Movin and groovin

These babies are moving like crazy all the time. Not too much at night.....thank god!!!! They are moving all over the place and with 3 I can feel it on my sides, top and bottom of my stomach. It's so amazing to feel and watch. I can see them kick on the outside of my belly. I will be so glad when I can hold all three of my little babies.
I am still resting. Tasha and Amy came over today to help me go through baby stuff and get it put up. I am probably going to have Aaron put the crib together this weekend and get our room re arranged to accommodate the babies for the first few months. I can'tbelieve that in just 3 weeks these babies could be born. It's so scary and exciting. Will update more after my appt Monday.

New belly pic

Here is a new pic. The belly is getting bigger. I have gained a total of 23 lbs with 6 being in the last 2 weeks. I guess staying home is helping.

Dr visit!

We went to the Dr. Preston has gained 6 oz and weighs 1 lb 4 1/2 oz, Mason gained 3 oz and weighs 12 oz, Lily gained 7 oz and weighs 1 lb 4 oz. There is still concern for Mason. He is still so small. We discussed moving our goal up to 26 weeks but realize that would put Preston and Lily at risk to save Mason. We decided to keep our goal at 28 weeks. We know it's still early but all 3 babies will have a better chance of surviving if they all make it to 28 weeks. They may say at 28 weeks I am doing good enough to go to 29, 30 or further. The earliest we would deliver is 28 weeks. We will just have to see. The main thing is that everyone keeps praying for Mason to fight and grow. I go back in 2 weeks. Dr said for now just rest, don't go to the grocery store, do any housework, or heavy lifting. Just rest!
I am kind of scared but we have come this far and I know it's all in god's hands. Mason just needs to hang in there at least 5 more weeks.
Just resting! Staci

Just a little update

Just wanted to say hi and update! I am feelin great. I am getting lots of rest and relaxation. I only left the house twice this week. Once to go to Wal Mart on Tuesday and then Wednesday to eat lunch with the office and to pick up my last paycheck! EEEK!!!! Other than that I have been home just chilling and doing little stuff around here. Ashley has been a huge help. My next Dr. appt is Monday. I don't have any changes to report except the belly is getting BIGGER!!! I will have to put up a pic soon.
I will update after my appt for sure.
