Baby Update 5

It's been a while since the last baby update, but there hasn't been much to update everyone on.  We had an appointment today and the babies were measured again.  We are now at 31 weeks and the babies are big and looking good!  Everything is going as well as you could hope with a triplet pregnancy so we feel very blessed!  We have no idea when these little ones will be born, but it is looking very promising that we will make it into November like we had hoped.  We may even make it farther in to November than we ever thought we would!  That's a good thing for the babies, but mom is getting very tired and praying that she can hang in there!!!  Here are their weights as of today:

Baby A:  3 lbs 4 oz
Baby B:  3 lbs 10 oz
Baby C:  3 lbs 11 oz

They are huge!  : )  They are bigger than what we were thinking they would be.  That means I am carrying over 10 1/2 pounds of baby.  Not to mention the extra placenta and fluid.  It's no wonder I'm uncomfortable.  The babies are all pretty squished.  Poor baby A is on the bottom.  She is all curled up in a ball.  During the ultrasound we caught baby B's hand reaching out and touching baby A's head. Maybe baby A is tired of her sisters touching her, kicking her and sitting on her!

We are thrilled that everything is going so well.  Thanks to all who have helped us out these last several weeks and thank you for all the prayers in our behalf!

Grow, babies, grow! That's awesome theat they're all over 3 lbs. The bigger the better--and they'll come eventually. Hang in there! --Adam and Alesha
