Baby's size: Butternut Squash, 15+ inches long weighing about 2.5lbs.
Baby's Development: Babies are exercising their muscles and lungs. Their heads are growing to make room for their developing brain. Bones are soaking up all the calcium they can get at this stage.
Gender: It has been confirmed, (2) girls, Ali & Sadie and (1) boy, Ray.
Weight gain: 57 and still have 6 weeks. I might go over my 60lbs... I gained 4 lbs this week which must be all baby and maybe some fluid retention!
Stretch marks: Yes, lots of them and this week they are creeping up on my upper stomach. I guess I should be thankful since that means the babies are growing at a rapid rate.
Belly button in or out: Out!
Wedding ring on or off: Half on, I am wearing my wedding band.

Sleep: Due to an allergy pill prescribed I got better than normal sleep but I still wake up to itch and treat my poor rashes.
Symptoms: Ligament pain of course but the worst is still the rash. I have moved past the stomach itching. Not to say it doesn't still itch but not like it did before. I could have scratched until I bled. Now the rash has moved to the inside of my arms and tops of my feet. I called the Dr. yesterday to let them know and they called in Adarax which is in the Benadryl family. I took it when I got home and it makes me sleepy so I won't be taking it at work. I can't say it really made a huge difference though but maybe it will shorten the itchy part of the rash?
Food cravings: Everything tastes delicious.
Food aversions: Nothing specific.
What I miss: Not itching! :)

Movement: Babies are still moving around in there. I think the space is getting tighter since the hard kicks are getting less and less. I just don't think they have room to really go at it. This morning Ali had the hiccups, it was funny to feel the rhythmic vibration. I also suspect that one of the girls flipped over. The kicking has shifted to a new spot around my belly button.
Mood: Is ok, the itching really takes a toll on you.
Best moment this week: Diaper Shower, it was so nice of the guys to come out and support Kyle. They had a great time drinking and getting Ryan started on his 21st birthday outing. We also collected 2862 diapers! That is so helpful since the cost of diapers per month is estimated at around $180. Some guys also went together and got Kyle a "coolest cooler" which he is super excited about!

Looking forward to: Seeing Dr. Jamie tomorrow. Well seeing the babies tomorrow. Kyle is keeping Dawson and Libby so Mom is going to join me again. She is very concerned about my rash so I think Nurse Lady wants to ask her own questions to the dr. I know I will be doing blood work so they can make sure my rash isn't anything more serious than PUPP.
The changing table/dresser combo is together and in the baby room, I'm just waiting for my drawer dividers to arrive and I will start loading clothes in it.
The book shelves are put together, they just need to be painted and hung.
OH and I started packing the babies' bag for the hospital, that was way easier than packing mine so I started there. I picked out preemie clothes and newborn so I am prepared no matter their size. I have pacis, wipes, clippers, bows... all the good stuff!
As for me, well I started laying out items that I need to pack in my bag although since I have a limited wardrobe there is a lot of things that I can't pack yet.
I guess next will be making baby beds and putting car seats in the car so we are ready. Maybe next week depending on my report from the dr tomorrow.
Kyle also needs to check the stroller to see if the tires are still aired up or if we need to buy new ones. We will need the stroller to get all three babies from the hospital to the car.
