Monday Ramblings...

I can hardly wait until tomorrow! We have another appt with the perinatologist – Dr. P. We’re having the nuchal translucency tomorrow ~ if I think too hard about it, I get pretty nervous actually. But I’m very excited to be able to see my little ones again. I just pray that they all are measuring well and we don’t come back with some false positive odds that cause us more anxiety.

We have told a couple of friends and most of the rest of our extended family now ~ I told Lauri last Thurs evening when Mom and I went over to visit baby Lizzie. And on Saturday, we went out for drinks (well, I drank water) with the Zucco’s and we told them together. They were pretty floored too. It’s kinda funny hearing people’s reactions to the triplets.

I’m still feeling really good, aside from some allergies or a cold I seem to be fighting. I did a lot of yard work this weekend and am having some pain in my sciatic nerve – hoping I just over did it a little bit and it will feel better in another day or so. My appetite is gone today, probably b/c I’m not feeling great but I’m trying to eat anyway. Can’t really taste much so as long as I’m getting the calories, I guess that is what counts.

I really can’t wait until I can start feeling these little guys kicking around inside – it’s just still so nerve wracking every day, wondering how they are doing. I’m still waiting for the other shoe to drop. I know that’s bad but it’s natural I guess ~ after experiencing losses, it’s hard not to let those negative thoughts creep in.

My clothes do not fit anymore – yikes! I am so lucky that Lauri gave me 4 bins of maternity clothes that are awesome – I spent a few hours over the weekend packing up my winter stuff and moving my closets over. Since we now will have a real nursery, we’re losing a whole closet! All of my winter stuff and my spring stuff that will not fit now got packed away. We’ll have to move it down to the crawlspace, which makes me pretty nervous. But we don’t really have a choice – we’re maxed on space now. Can you imagine what will happen when the 3 musketeers arrive? WOW. We’ll manage though – their room will be quite tight but that’s ok – they will be all snuggly in there I guess. I’m holding out to save the guest room as long as possible!

More tomorrow after my appt – hopefully it will be nothing but good news.
Oh, and did I mention? I'm 11 weeks today!
