Baby Update 4

We went to both doctors today and everything is going fine and holding steady.  I'm still on bed rest, but the good news is it seems to be helping.

Baby A - 2 lbs. 1 oz.
Baby B - 2 lbs. 4 oz.
Baby C - 2 lbs. 5 oz.

Baby Update 3

We went back to the doctor on Tuesday for the blood pressure check.  The good news is it was lower.  Bad news it is still elevated so the bed rest continues.  I'm sure I will be on bed rest until these little ones are born.  On Monday the doctor called and said that my glucose levels were also elevated so I had to take the 3 hour glucose test on Tuesday as well.  That's why this post is a little delayed.  I wanted to wait until the results came back.  The nurse said that I don't technically have gestational diabetes, but that I am borderline and need to watch my sugar and carbs.  Boo.  So that is all the updates until next week.

Baby Update 2

We went to the doctor yesterday and he put me on bed rest for high blood pressure.  Not fun.  I just have to try and keep these babies in here as long as possible.  We go back in on Tuesday for a blood pressure check.  I was put on bed rest with Annie for the same thing, but that was just for about two weeks before she was born.  This is a little more scary because it is still pretty early. (I am 25 weeks along)  Technically the babies are viable after 24 weeks, but not without long term health problems.  The doctor really wants to get us to 30-32 weeks.  I will try and post another update on Tuesday.

Baby Update 1

I am now 25 weeks along. We went to the high-risk doctor yesterday for another ultrasound of our triplets.  We are so happy that everything looks great!  They were able to take some measurements and come up with an estimate of their weight.
Baby A - 1 lb. 10 oz.
Baby B - 1 lb. 12 oz.
Baby C - 1 lb. 15 oz.
Babies B and C are the identical ones. The doctor was very pleased with their growth.  They all look healthy and all have plenty of fluid.  We go back in two more weeks for our next ultrasound.  Tomorrow we go to our regular OB/GYN.  I'm still supposed to stay off my feet and not do much of anything.  We'll see what the doctor says tomorrow.  He will take my blood pressure which I'm a little nervous about since it has been a bit high the last two times.  Wish us luck!

2012 So far...

With all the craziness of IVF and a triplet pregnancy we have still been able to manage some fun this year.  Here are some highlights.

Mom, Annie and Cleo coloring Easter eggs!  

In April we went shooting to celebrate Grandpa Brown's 60th birthday.  

Nathen helped Annie shoot the .22.

Nathen and his shot gun.

Sara and her girls got to come visit a couple of times this spring.  In May we took our girls to the Planetarium and then to  play in the water at the Gateway.  Annie and Zoe had lots of fun, but Olivia (orange shirt)  was more interested in her mom's Coke.  

Yes.  Annie picked out her outfit that day and I just went with it. 

We also got to go with Sara's family to Hollywood Connection.  Annie and Zoe were pretty good mini--golfers.

Annie and Nathen on the....well I don't know.  Bumper chairs?  

Annie played T-ball this spring and loved it.  It was a lot of fun to watch.

In July we went to Heber Valley Girls Camp for the Noyes reunion.

Annie got to go canoeing with Dad and Aunt Marianne.

Pretty cute in her life jacket.

The last day of the reunion we went to Deer Creek reservoir.  She loved playing in the mud and water.  

Nathen's aunt and uncle brought their boat and Annie got to go tubing for the first time.  She loved it!  I can't believe how big she is getting. 

At the end of July Sara and Kason came for another quick visit and we had the opportunity to take them fishing at Mirror Lake.  I left my camera in the van and so I don't have any pictures of that.  After fishing we went to Heber and ate at the Dairy Keen then went to the park across the street.  Zoe, my Dad, Olivia, Kason and Annie all had fun on the swings!
