Not quite sure

Where 3 babies are going to fit in my body???












I am just over 10 weeks in this photo. If you look really closely you can see my vampire-like veins on my belly feeding my uterus plenty of blood. It probably doesn't help that I am normally almost transparent.

The fact that this is not a normal easy PG like I had with Quinn set in on Friday when I spent several hours at the transfusion center of the ER getting pumped full of fluids. I have had horrible headaches that will not go away with Tylenol, along with some full body heaving- they figured I was probably a bit dehydrated. It did help but the headache returned the next day. I have already been referred to the high-risk specialists at Minnesota Perinatal Physicians and consequently will be delivering at United Hospital. United has a specialized NICU unit that our babies will likely be spending some time in after birth. Apparently most triplet births also go at about 30-32 weeks which means we are looking more at February and less at early April. I am conceivably done with 1/3 of this PG. Nuts.

Please keep your fingers crossed that these babies want to cook a good long time.

I will do anything to get 3 healthy babies out of this experience.

Well, I think you look great, mama! And for what it's worth, we thought the people at United were really great, and I think you'll have a good experience there. I'm thinking a lot of you and your three littlest ones!

I'm definately keeping the prayers coming. I think you look great so far! (10 weeks with triplets does look a lot different than 10 weeks with one doesn't it!)

I'm glad that you are already working on the triplet plan. I'm sure it must be scary but you are being watched closely already. I'm sure you and the 'lets will all be great!

Wow! You look awesome! I'm so excited to see how it all progresses. And I'm so glad that you are under such watchful eyes - I'm sure everything is going to be fine. I'm just so excited! Three mini dachshunds and now three little babies... what a great photo op. ;) (With Quinn proudly overseeing it all!)
