jakegal88- we dont really know how much they weight its hard to tell sometimes. last appointment my ob said my boy was around 4 and the girls not to far behind. we hope to get to at least 34/36 weeks. its a wait and see game. im just on bed rest because i cant move around very well anymore.

mama_triplets: We're about the same # of weeks. I'll be 27 on Thurs. I've been keeping track because every week I reach is another milestone ;) Congrats on the girls & boy! Very exciting :) I'm having a boy & a girl. I can imagine how it is for you trying to get around. Having twins is hard enough on my body. After going to my doc appt last week, I was exhausted ;)

Jakesgal: Yep, strict bedrest til the babies are born. Our doc doesn't expect us to go too much longer since my cervix is continually shortening. We're just hoping to make it to 28 weeks, then we'll
hope for 30, and so on. I'm actuall catching up on my journal, which I hadn't written in in about 3 weeks & yes, we watched The Hangover last night. Very funny :) And I watched The Orphan last week.  Yikes! Totally not what I expected ;) It was good. That's good you're planning to take it easier soon.

mama_triplets- How fun, nice to get atleast one of each! I see lots of people having triplets on tv and they have three girls or three boys, that would be wonderful too, but a combination would be better especially for first time parents. I understand about the getting antsy knowing the weeks. I've known since like 5wks along now i'm 31wks and the thought of 5 or 6wks kills me, but i've been waiting way more than that so far. The end seems to go slower sometimes. Do they have a weeks that they want you to make it to? I see a lot of triplets go by 33 or 34wks. How are your little ones weighing in? About 4lbs each for mine at the moment. Well, take care!

jakegal88- i can feel them moving a round individually. they all have their favorite spots to kick and sleep. identical girls and a boy. at one point we thought it was two boys and a girl but we were wrong. about 26 weeks along. i try not to keep track it started making me antsy.

mama_triplets- how amazing to be carrying not two but three babies. I feel pushed to the limit with two, can't imagine three, how many weeks are you? I'm 31wks, been counting down weeks since about 24 or 26wks along. lol. Can you feel them all move individually? What combination are they? Identical girls here.

mommyin10- so you are definitely on bedrest through the finish? Sounds like you had a wonderful Christmas breakfast and dinner! How sweet of your DH. I'm still up and about, but I told my DH in the next two or three weeks I will not be doing much and will be resting because once the babies come there will be no rest time. He's been really sweet and has been sleeping in the living room with me. lol. Our bed isn't comfy and the couch is wonderful so he takes the recliner and I take the couch. (We have plush leather furniture). Do you have lots of movies to catch up on? Well, take care!
