Excited for the shower!!!!!!!!!!

I am so excited for the shower!!!!!! We have had a busy weekend. We got new appliances for the kitchen and Aaron & Dustin put them in Friday night. Now we have a nice new dishwasher ready to wash the first bottle. Saturday Aaron made breakfast on the new stove. Then we went to pick up Ashley from Michelle's. I have been nesting like a mad woman. I cleaned out the closet in the babies room and put all the baby stuff that I have received in there. I also cleaned out the closet in our bathroom and in our room. I am trying to get as much space as possible to store diapers, wipes and all the baby stuff we will have. We went and bought a new stroller and all the infant seats today. A lady from my triplet group (Space City Triplets) was selling her Triple Decker & 3 infant seats w/ bases for an awesome price. We were planning to get them so decided to buy from her. We went to her house and she has 19 month old all girl fraternal triplets. It looked like a baby factory in there. It was awesome. The girls were playing and watching tv. Shannon (mom) had a lot of great tips.
The stroller, we will use while the trio is in the infant seats then upgrade to the Foundations triple. Here are examples of both: Triple Decker

So far we have the stroller, infant seats, a bouncy chair, swing and an exersaucer.
I am still feeling great. My back has started hurting if I do too much. This week is my last week at work. SO EXCITED!!!! After the shower I plan to stay home and relax and get ready for babies!
Take care until next time- Staci

Joined a mulitples club

I went to the Northwest Houston Moms of Multiples group meeting last night. I had so much fun! The ladies were so informative. We had a meet & greet from 7 to 7:30 then a meeeting. The meeting part was just announcements about some of the moms on bedrest, some who have recently given birth and some who's babies are still in NICU. We then went into groups to have a q & a session. My group was woman who are pregnant along with moms who have multiples up to 6 months. There were alot of twin moms. I only met one mom who was pregnant with triplets and she is 15 weeks. We compared pregnancies and talked a little. I am the 13th triplet mom to join. I am the only one with identicals plus a fraternal. There are 144 members of the group. We will meet on the 3rd Thur of every month and every month there is a different agenda. Next month will be nutrition. They will probably bring in a speaker to talk about baby nutrition. They also have playgroups varying by ages that meet weekly. The group is a great place to meet moms and get questions answered. Everyone was really friendly!!! I met a lady who graduated from Aaron's high school (Cecelia High School) She said her mom lives on Guidry Rd in LA which is the road Aaron's grandparents live on. Small world huh?!?!?!?!

Feelin great!

Went to the Dr today. Ashley went with me since Aaron is in Scotland. She got to see the babies on the ultrasound screen. They were very active this morning and jumping all around. We still have 2 boys and a girl. THey are all weighing between 5 and 7 oz. So growing right along. The Dr checked my feet and legs to make sure I don't have any swelling which I don't since I stay off my feet most of the day. I have gained 12 pounds. I thought that was not too much but the Dr said that's great as long as the babies are getting what they need, which they are, then I should keep doing what I am doing which is eat and take it easy. I don't get to go back until 4 weeks this time he said everything looked so good that 4 weeks will do. Kind of sad because I have to wait so long. I am spolied to seeing the babies every 3 weeks. We got awesome pics this time. Baby A and B are they twins and baby C is the girl. Baby B and C we got profile pics and baby A face pic. It's kind of scary looking (the face pic) The pictures are clickable so if you want to get a close up just click the picture! 3 more weeks until I get to stay home!!!!

4 MONTHS!!!

I will be 4 months tomorrow. We got all registered and the baby shower invitations are out. Registering was pretty overwhelming. There is so much stuff. I have been feeling good. Aaron left today to go to Scotland for 10 days. I have a Dr appt on Wed to check on everything. I hope they still say there are 2 boys and a girl. I am so anxious for the babies to get here and hope everything goes well with them.

WE KNOW THE GENDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We went to the Dr. on Friday and he asked if we wanted to know the sex!!! Yea of course we said. I really thought it was too early. We are so excited. The names are Preston John, Mason Thomas and Lillian (Lily) Marie. Although I have not mentioned Lillian Marie to my grandmother. I will next time I see her. I guess I should ask her if she minds that I use her name. I also turned my notice in at work.I will officially quit on 7-13-07 at 20 weeks. I am so excited to be able to be home resting and waiting for the babies.

Hi there. Wow twice in one week. It's amazing. I am anxiously awaiting nana and pops arrival. I am so excited to see them. We have a busy weekend planned. We are paiting Ashley's room and the babies room. We also have Jakob's 3rd birthday!! The baby shower has been changed to 7-14 because Ashley is going to Washington DC and will be back on 7-25th. She is so excited. Michelle and Chris are taking her there for 10 days. She will be a huge help to Chris with Jordan while Michelle is working. Oh I don't know if I posted this before but the twins we have are identical and they are called monochorionic-diamniotic. This means they are in one placenta and have 2 amniotic sacs. Chorionic=placenta and amniotic=amniotic sac.

12 weeks!!!!!

I know I know my bloging skills suck. I posted a new ultrasound pic. I have been released from the fertility Dr. and stopped all medication except the prenatal pills, calcium and folic acid. I still have a buffet of pills I take every morning. 6 per day. It will all be worth it though when these babies are born healthy. What else has happened? Let me see. I started going to the perinatal Dr. I am not going to continue with my OB I don't see any point to see 2 Dr's when Dr Kirshon (perinatal) is more than qualified to care for me and the babies and deliver. We got to hear all the babies heartbeats. Twin A was 174 beats per minute, Twin B was 154 and Baby C was 155. We went and saw him on 5-17 and he is so awesome. We were very impressed. He said I can continue to work until I get too big and uncomfortable. Which is usually around 20 to 24 weeks. I am hoping to work as long as possible. Deanna and Tasha have planned my Texas baby shower for 7-21-07 I am really looking forward to that. We are in the process of redoing Ashley's room. We went and bought her a desk, dresser and night stand this weekend. This week we will go and get her bed stuff. Memorial weekend nana and papa are coming in to help paint. I promise to update more often.
