Baby's size: Cauliflower, 14 inches long weighing about 1.10lbs.
Baby's Development: Babies are fully developed at this point and now they are putting on fat. They are still working on the lung development and practicing breathing.
Gender: It has been confirmed, (2) girls, Ali & Sadie and (1) boy, Ray.
Weight gain: 44lbs on track to meet my 50-60lb weight gain. (no change from last week)
Maternity clothes: I have a few more shirts thanks to mom and a few new dresses from the Target. I should be able to make it through the next 10 weeks with what I have.
Stretch marks: Yes, pink veins are present on my lower tummy. Not sure of all places why there since it isn't a tight skin area but I guess it doesn't really matter since I won't be showing it off anytime soon.
Belly button in or out: Out!
Wedding ring on or off: Half on, I am wearing my wedding band.

Sleep: Still no real sleep. I got up to pee I know 4-5 times last night although I was so thirsty last night. I think it may be from my glucose test yesterday.
Symptoms: Ligament pain is the most common now. I do have some heartburn off and on but other than that just large and heavy.
Food cravings: Most everything tastes delicious at this point. I am really enjoying milk, again something I hated before being pregnant besides being mildly lactose intolerant.

Food aversions: Nothing specific.
What I miss: Being involved and doing for others. I kind of feel left out at times with friends but I know they do it out of sympathy for me and my exhaustion. I also know if I was invited everywhere I wouldn't be able to go anyway. It is just an adjustment and I have to figure out how to stay connected without being present.

Movement: Babies are moving and shaking in there. I feel them most of the day now at different intervals.
Mood: Doing pretty well this week, just a little annoyed at stupid stuff that just doesn't matter in the big picture.
Best moment this week: Baby shower of course! Saturday was my work shower and it was so nice.
We also got to see the babies yesterday briefly due to my hot flashes and discomfort.
I finished the baby walls too, now I just have to finish the mobiles that have become very time consuming.

And then there was story time. Kyle has been reading to the babies and they get active in there so they must like hearing his voice so close to my stomach. Last night was the cutest though. I was laying on the couch, Kyle was on the floor and all three cats showed up to listen for story time.
Looking forward to: Just making it another week is exciting now. Every one means our babies are closer to coming home with us instead of staying at the hospital. Makes me feel better about trying to manipulate my time off so I can be there for them when they do come home. We also got that confirmation yesterday that 9.9 will be the date if nothing changes.
I have to call the pediatrician and make sure they will take us, believe it or not, many of the triplet moms out there have been turned down do to low birth weight babies and complications of triplets.
Hopefully next week I can show you the baby rooms with mobiles, maybe if I get really motivated!
