33 Weeks!

We have 1 week exactly to go before birth day and I just realized I will be home very soon YEAH!!! Our spirits have definitely changed since we are in the home stretch and know we are headed home soon and will be having some healthy babies. I have grown so attached to some of the nursing staff and look at many of them as my friends so I will miss seeing them every day but I am so excited to see my puppies and get back to the normal day to day things you have to do. We have been struggling with what type of help we are going to need if we should hire a night nanny or a day helper or anything at all. The anticipation of taking three little babies home has started to become overwhelming. We have no idea what to expect except for no sleep, tons of diaper changes and more bottles than we can even imagine. We know it will all work out and the most important thing is that they are healthy and we can take them home soon after delivery. Please keep us in your prayers for 3 healthy babies and a healthy delivery. There have been so many people praying for us and all of those prayers have been answered and got us to this amazing milestone and we thank you so much. Our endeavor is only just starting and three little faces are about to enter our world and completely change the way we live our lives. How exciting! We are so excited to meet them and know there are going to be lots of tears on the 11th when Dr. Adam pulls them out of me, we cannot wait to hear those three little cries. The babies will go straight to the NICU 2 from delivery unless there are issues they will go to NICU 3 so nobody can see them until they get discharged from the hospital. They do roll the babies by the waiting room after delivery so if you are here you get a brief look at them but other than that only grandparents and parents are allowed into the NICU. We are hoping and praying they will have a short stay usually they keep babies until they reach 5 lbs, are 36 weeks gestational age and can maintain their own body temperature. So we are thinking they will probably be here 2 weeks as long as they are feeders and growers and don't have any set backs. We will post pictures of the delivery and the babies as soon as we can and try to keep everyone updated on their progress through this blog. Thank you again for everyone's support and continued prayers.

  1. good for you! you are almost there!!! i'm so happy for all of you that you have made it this far....so amazing what you have done for these babies. it will be hectic when you first get home, but before you know it you will have established a routine and will be wonder mom! (and dad). my guess is that you will have plenty of friends and family who will be willing to lend you a hand during the day so if you are thinking about hiring help, the night nurse may be best. it's amazing how much easier everything is (even w/just one baby) when you have had a good night's sleep! reagan and i did nights solo, but we just had twins, so one for me and one for him. i will continue to pray for all of you and for you to have a routine delivery w/3 healthy, happy and big babies! i'll pray for good sleepers and eaters while i'm at it! ;)
