Triplets: Easter Edition

Did everyone have a good Easter? Our family's day was fabulous.


I love Easter for the family time, but I also love this holiday more than any other because every year, the day refreshes my faith as a Christian. There is no greater love than the love Jesus has for everyone on this earth. 

The other great thing about Easter is the egg hunting! Egg hunting was definitely more fun this year for Aria then it was last year. She is still carrying her basket full of eggs around the house.



As for the triplet pregnancy, I am 22 weeks and feeling good!

This weekend we took time out to also work on the house and the nursery. I do great as long as I work in spurts. (Work, rest, repeat...)

Aria was a super helper too. She helped Daddy put cribs together and helped Mommy unload tubs of baby girl clothes and shampoo the carpets. 

Yes, we were all working in our PJs! 

The baby room is just about finished. I am waiting on one more addition before I post pictures. 

With everything we got done this weekend, it made me uber excited to see the babies again today.

The appointment was so quick, all we have to show for it is a few profile pictures.

Baby A:

 Heart rate: 139


Yesterday she was extremely active, way more than her brothers. She loves kicking my bladder! She must have known I was writing about her because she just did it as I wrote that. :)

Baby B: 

 Heart rate: 153


I don't think I notice Baby B's movements as much as his brother's. It may just be that it is hard to tell the two apart. As twins, imagine that!

Baby C: 

 Heart rate: 147


Baby C loves when I eat. He also loves music. During orchestra rehearsals, he starts off the dance party, then his siblings join in. They kick so hard I can see my belly move.


Other great news: I got a request to participate in jury duty this summer. I didn't think I needed to be serving on a jury while I'm 9 months pregnant or right after the triplets are born. Since my doctor agrees, no jury duty for me! At least, not this time around anyway.


Have a great week and stay tuned for the nursery pictures! Here's a sneak peek:

Accomplishments of 34 Weeks

Image
How was your weekend? Ours was busy, but we still had time to play. Sunday was our annual Freedom Celebration at church. Since I'm not playing in the orchestra, I got to sit back and enjoy watching for the first time in the 8 years I have been attending our fabulous church.  We've made it to  34 weeks   so far. That's an accomplishment in and of itself! I'm incredibly proud of these babies! As usual, the babies all got great reports today and passed their tests with flying colors. Baby A: Livi heart rate: 132 She was actually the first to pass her NST today instead of being last like usual. Baby B: Beckett heart rate: 137 Beckett was the sleepy one today. He needed the noise stimulation during the Non-Stress Test, but then woke him up and he passed. He is so squished that we couldn't get any pictures of him today. Baby C: Henry  heart rate: 152 As always, Henry is running around all over the place and the life of the part

5 Month Camera Roll

Happy 5 months to my baby girl! Here's the pictures from our photo shoot today. I just thought this look was funny! Like she's saying, "I've got my eye on your Grandma and Grandpa..." She's happy now, but last night she was up for 3 hours. I could feel two teeth poking through: one on the top gums and one on the bottom. It was a long night. The good news tonight is the heat in the weather finally broke. It was such a nice evening, we sat outside for a little while. Look how funny Aria thinks Gus is when he fetches the ball. The video didn't catch her adorable laughing, but it's still pretty cute. In running news, I jogged 2 miles this evening- no stopping! Jogging has been a real struggle because all the extra weight I'm carrying feels more like 500 pounds instead of 27, but tonight was a success. That's 3 jogs this week!  Here's to keeping it

And We're Crawling

Aria has been filling my days up this week. The 6-9 month wardrobe is in the process of being boxed up. We're on to 9-12 month clothes, and stealing Daddy's hats. Last night, my niece, Jillian celebrated her 11th birthday with us at Olive Garden.                                             Aria always likes a party, but how excited she gets when she sees my mom is the true entertainment.  I'm thankful I got to spend the evening with my niece and the rest of my family. After that great night, Aria was up at 4:30 AM. I'm sure it has something to do with the fact that she has four teeth coming in. Ouch. Since we were up at 4:30, I decided to have a fashion show of the clothes we bought Aria last night. Her 9 month professional photo shoot is Saturday. That calls for a new outfit. Although I purchased 9-12 month sizes, this outfit is just too tight. The 12-18 month shirt fits just right. Back to the
