32 weeks

How far along: 32 weeks 0 days or 98% survival rate!
Baby's size: Large Jicama, 16.7 inches long weighing about 3.75lbs.
Baby's Development: Babies are growing like weeds at this point.  For a singleton it says I gain a lb a week but I guess that means 3 for me.  I was overachieving last week.  Their skin is now becoming soft and smooth as they plump up and get ready for birth.

Gender: It has been confirmed, (2) girls, Ali & Sadie and (1) boy, Ray.
Weight gain: 62 lbs. I lost 4lbs this week.  I'm not sure what that means but my guess is it is all fluid.  My feet are not swollen and my legs don't feel as heavy.  My waist is 56 1/2 this week so the babies are still growing for sure! 


Stretch marks: Yes, lots of them but at least they aren't itching!
Belly button in or out: Out!
Wedding ring on or off: Off. 
Sleep: I have moved to the couch officially.  I have to say I do not like it because I'm not in bed with Kyle but at least I get a little more sleep that way.  I am still getting up every two hours to pee but for the most part I can get a propped position on the couch and go back to sleep.  I am always congested during the night as well which is an added issue.  Kyle was sweet and tried to sleep in the chair with to keep me company Saturday night but he was so uncomfortable I finally convinced him to go to bed.
Symptoms: Ligament pain is still pretty terrible but I am making it.  I am just uncomfortable so getting up and moving in general takes more effort.  I have more heartburn but that is attributed to my belly taking over and pushing into my diaphragm.  I am still having contractions but nothing regular.  Although last night I had the most in one hour (6)!  That is the limit before you call the dr.  But after chugging some water, a tip from the triplet moms and changing positions they went away.  I was worried thinking the babies may make an early arrival and that means they would be in NICU longer which I really didn't want for them.
Food cravings: Everything tastes delicious still so this is a good time for me to eat new things, lol.
Food aversions: Nothing specific.
What I miss: Just hanging out with out a care in the world, or at least nothing serious.  I feel like I am hurrying up to wait at this point.
Movement: Babies are crazy busy flipping or turning in my belly.  In the last week I have felt them more than I ever have.  I assume it is because they have no room and have pushed out my skin so far that it is literally thinner.  I can feel them rolling and stretching, at times I brace myself like it is going to hurt but it doesn't for the most part.  Although Sadie is sitting close to my right hip and when she gets going that does kind of hurt. 
Mood: I am doing ok, a little annoyed at times but mostly because people get upset about the most petty things. 
Best moment this week: Probably feeling the babies so much.  I mean I knew they were in there and could feel them kick once in a while but this is something way more alien! lol
Looking forward to: Seeing Dr. Jamie on Thursday.  She said we would schedule my C-section with the hospital which will give me an actual date and time to count down to!  This also allows me to call the charge nurse at Norton and let her know when to expect our triplets.  She said they would do their best to shift babies so that ours could have the "twin room".  We should also get measurements on the babies, it has been a month since they measured them so I am anxious to see how big they are.
Kyle hung the bookshelves yesterday and they look great! 

I washed the baby clothes mom purchased from the twin sale last week so those are ready.
I packed more stuff in my bag and added Kyle's sleepy pants and a change of clothes for him.
I also sent the baby bed liners and sheets downstairs to wash so they will be ready!
I realize I am in for a serious baby awakening in a few weeks but why worry about it.  My favorite saying, it is what it is.  We will figure things out and we have a huge family support to help us.
