Baby's size: Pineapple, 17 inches long weighing about 4lbs.
Baby's Development: Babies are losing the alien look as their bones are hardening. The bones in the skull aren't fused together, which allows them to move and slightly overlap, thus making it easier for them to fit through the birth canal.. oh wait, they don't have to!
Gender: It has been confirmed, (2) girls, Ali & Sadie and (1) boy, Ray.
Weight gain: 69 lbs. I keep fluctuating on the weight and I think it is mostly from fluid retention. I can tell my legs/feet/hands are swollen which is impacting my weight. I guess I need to figure out what I ate last week to relieve the fluid. I do feel better physically when I'm not as swollen.
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.
Wedding ring on or off: Off.
Sleep: Still doing the couch, I was so tempted to try the bed again last night. Maybe tonight with some pillows behind me. My biggest issue is breathing right now. I get stuffed up even when I'm propped up.
Symptoms: Contractions are still happening each day but nothing regular so no worries there. Ligament pain is pretty bad at times depending on how long I have been sitting. I am swollen of course and have some heartburn. I guess I have just taken it down another notch since walking to my car and getting in and out of it are a challenge.
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: Moving without pain would have to be #1 on my list right now! I am blessed though, many of the triplet moms are not so fortunate to still be mobile at this stage, in fact most are in the hospital on bed rest or have delivered their trio already!

Movement: Babies are moving all the time. They say you don't feel them as much at this stage but that is not true for me. I can feel every movement, probably more since my belly lays on my legs now when sitting.
Mood: I had a really rough day last Friday after finding out they pushed my C-section back to 9/11. It was just so devastating after having your heart set on the 9th and counting down, telling myself I can do this and make it to the 9th. Well then it changed and I had to readjust my thought pattern. I am feeling better now and I realize that just gives me two extra days to be prepared.
Best moment this week: I guess feeling accomplished. We did some musical cars over the weekend selling the Focus and purchasing a van. Kyle then cleaned it and is working on a tune up. He has been doing a really good job this week getting things checked off the list. Every night I remind him it could be any day now. I judge this by how I feel. I think it is sinking in!

Looking forward to: Seeing Dr. Jamie on tomorrow. We will get to see the babies again although they are so big it is hard to tell what you are looking at sometimes.
Next on the list is installing the baby seats in the van :) That should be interesting. We have to determine if they will fit between the captain chairs or if we have to take one out.
Mom brought over some new PJs for the hospital so I took the opportunity to show her where my bag was and the list in case we have an emergency and she has to finish packing for me. I also showed her where the bedding was and the bottles in case we didn't get to take care of that either.
I am doing my best to cover the bases but I'm sure there is something I will forget.
