23 weeks and 5 days

Sorry this is so late but thought I would catch you all up to speed. Everything is going great!!! wondering if this is the calm before the storm?!?!?! Hopefully it will go smooth we will wait and see. All of the babies are doing great, growing and strong. the heartrates were Timmy 161, Joey 141, and Caylee was 138. they will check growth when I go on thursday, and we see both doctors and we will get a tour of the Nicu.

Ericka and Allison

Here is one of the pics we had taken on the day Ericka had her grad pics done.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ERICKA!!!!!!

First off I just wanted to wish Ericka a happy "18th" birthday!!!!!!! Can't believe she is already that old.

Well today I saw both doctors and and both appt went very well. My ob measured my belly and I measured 34 weeks only 11 weeks ahead of where I am. not bad lol. I did gain 6 lbs in a week, I was shocked to see that. Oh well it is for the babies right?!?!?!?! I did talk to my ob about my hospital stay, originally he said it would start at 24 weeks, I think I have gained a few weeks as long as things stay the same as they are now. I told him I would like to stay home until the day Ericka goes to France April 2nd. I told him I would even take her to school that day and go right to the hospital if that is what I needed to do. So hopefully things will not change and I will be home to see her off. They also did an echocardiogram on all the babies, it was no fun at all. First off my sciatic nerve is hurtung pretty bad right now and to lay on my back in not fun. So after a major hot flash and going from side to side and on my back they got all three done but it took from 10:15 until 12:10. Dr Hayes said I had the most boring triplets, but I took it as a big compliment. Here are a few pics for you, as you can see Baby B Joey didn't cooperate very well, I guess they can't all be good all the time. lol


Baby A Timmy Heartrate 147




Baby B Joey Heartrate 136



Baby C Caylee Heartrate 138




Next week they will do growth again.

Boys Names

We have finally decided on the boys names. After much name throwing and Ericka not liking the names we picked we have decided they are not hers!!!!! lol Anyway Baby A the one on the bottom will be Timothy Marvin (Timmy) and Baby B will be Joseph Richard (Joey). It is a releif to finally give them names. These babies are playing havoc on my sciatic nerve, sometimes it feels like a very sharp pain in the butt. And Calvin laughs when it is really bothering me, nice guy. lol We have an appointment on Friday, keeping our fingers crossed that the weather will cooperate, but it is not looking very good. If not we go on Monday. They are doing echocardiograms on all the babies, they say another 3 hour appt. fun, fun, fun.

appt update

Hello, well we had another really good appt today. All of the babies were facing the back so no new pics. But i can tell you all that they are definately moving and flipping around, every week they are in a different position except B he has been head up for the longest time. Caylee is still way up high with her head to my left side and Baby A is way way down low, with his head to the right.

Well today we had a weight check and all are growing great. A and C were 1.1 pounds and B was 1.2 pounds. Their heart rates, A and B were 147 and C is 136. The dr told me again how good everything was going and to keep doing what i am doing, well i am not doing much cause after an hour i just wanna sit around. Even shopping doesn't sound like fun. imagine that. lol

20 weeks 5 days

Hello all!!!! Well we had another appt today and saw the babies again. They look wonderful, the pics we got were not that good so i won't post this week, we had a trainee so she didn't know how to get them to move to for pics. But they are definatley moving alot now, Baby A is the mover and shaker and B he is the quiet shy one, and C the little girl just lets you know she is still there and still so high up pushing on the my ribs. Last night I was up over an hour cause they were moving so much. I am not complaining that just never happened with allie or e. The peri told me to continue doing what I was doing that everything looks wonderful.

I think we have decided on the little girls name, it is not written in stone but we think it will be Caylee Joan, as for the boys we are thinking of Timothy, for Calvin's best friend Timmy Olm, but i told Calvin that if we chose that name it would go to baby A cause he seems to have the same fiesty spirit that Timmy had. And the other little boy we just have no idea we have been tossing names around but nothing sticks. The heart rates were A 160, B 141, and C 163.
Will update next week again.
