really that big

Okay, I did not get my ultrasound until 10:00pm and it finished at 11:30pm. So I am still not believing what the technician told me and I guess we wont know for sure until they are born but he said I had one 5 plus and two 6 plus pounders in me. That would total 17 lbs of baby, right. Maybe that would explain why I am so miserable. When he measured the little femurs it showed that they are long for their age too. I guess with a tall daddy and and tall momma one should only expect a tall baby. I still dont belive it though. My Dr is going to check me early Saturday morning and if I am showing labor signs, he will deliver me. I pray and am asking everyone to pray that I am showing the right signs of labor. So maybe the three will be born November 3rd. Time will tell.

Happy Halloween

It is hard to be by yourself on a holiday. It does let me know how blessed I truly am and have been in my life. I cant write too much cause I got a new iv site and it hurts to type a bit. I miss home. Tomorrow I get an ultrasound to make sure the babies are doing okay. I will let you know any updates. I am starting to hate being here but at the same time having panic attacks of the fact that I will have three babies to take care of within the next two weeks.

Earthquake or Magnesium Sulfate

It was just after Anthony left to go home...a little after eight. I was lying in my bed and felt like the room was swaying. My first thought was earthquake but then I just looked around and thought stupid magnesium sulfate. It wasnt until later when the nurse came in and asked if I felt it that I realized I wasnt just going crazy. The quake was decent around 5 I guess, up near San Jose. In my life I have been through hurricanes, flash floods, earthquakes and tornado's. Flash floods scare me the most.

Just one of my favorite songs that makes me think of mom and my husband and my babies

My three scorpios

Well, Dr. Helm is back from vacay and said he will not deliver until 36 weeks. Sooooo, unless they want out on their own it looks like November 11-16ish. I was always thinking October babies but looks like November babies. Their birthstone is topaz, very pretty orange color and their zodiac is scorpio. They seem content in my belly latley just moving around. Emilia kicked hard at the nurse today as we tried to find her heartbeat, she has the strongest kick of them all. Her heartbeat was good but had moved lower down my abdomen, so maybe she is not breach anymore.

34 weeks today

Crazy, today is 34 weeks and the kids feel larger than ever. I am actually exhausted just by getting up to go to the commode or just laying in bed. Seth has been very active, I think his bum keeps trying to go higher and higher but I keep telling him that he will not be able to move my rib cage any further. My skin is so stretched that it hurts most the time, kinda like a slow paper cut at times. My dr is back on Tuesday so I will try to find out then how long he will go before delivering me...I think he is willing to wait to 36 weeks. I am just taking it a day at a time. Anthony spent most the weekend with me...I sure do miss him. He said the tree I bought has turned beautiful for fall. That is good to hear, that is why I bought it...the leaves are suppossed to change to a bright yellow...maybe next year I will see it. Now it looks like we will be having November babies and have them home by Thanksgiving even. Crazy, I tell ya. Who would have thought!

calm day

today I woke up calmer than I have been the past few days...contraction are still only 5-6 per hour on average. Some are more intense than others..sadly biggest complaint of the day is how long it takes them to clean my commode when asked. I only ask when I stink up the room...which is not an everyday thing. It is hard getting up to use that thing cause you have no privacy...anyone can walk in at any point and see me chillin on the commode. So if you visit...call first please. Yesterday I got to take my first shower in 27 days...it felt soooooo good but was also very hard. My legs were shaking and I had to sit most the time. Not to mention my IV (2) had to be bagged and both started alarming during the shower. I had to silence them every minute while trying to wash myself with one hand. The worst was that my belly was so big I could not even turn around in the shower.
Emilia is burrowing herself into my left side almost to my back. Seth is chillin just right of my belly button, while Aiden is super low...punching at areas I rather not mention. Lately, Emilia will punch like crazy. I think her brothers are crowding her and she does not want to share space...lol.

false alarm

I have been having some strong and painful contractions but it still seems to be jut not much more than that....Anthony came by but I sent him home for the night...the nurses have different opinions of when I should deliver. I would like to wait until my dr gets back off vacay but if there is one thing I have learned it is that ...I do not have a say when these babies are coming out...they do! Hopefully soon and hopefully everthing goes okay. I will keep you posted. I wish you could see how crazy my belly looks when three different babies are moving around in my belly. Luv and miss everyone.

an emotional day

I wont sugar coat my blog...I was pretty bad today. I cried about three times due to no sleep the night before. Just a bad day but the night time is here and I feel better. I wish I could show how far away my hands have to be cause of how big my belly is. It is kinda funny. I look forward to Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune. I dont get into wheel as much...I am the type that can have one letter left and still not be able to solve the phrase. All I know is that I have yet to see someone win the extra phrase at the end yet and I have been watching for 3 weeks now. It is now dancing with the stars time, I think this season sucks compared to the others but seriously have nothing better to do...it is truly amazing how much law and order is on tv...I swear it can be seen at any time of day. Damn, they are really showing the boobies off tonight on dancing with the stars. I get to look forward to pumping mine soon to help with the cost of formula, hopefully. My dr is going out of town for 3-4 days so I dont think he is worried about me going into labor, sadly I think they will be closer to Halloween babies. I would rather wait a day and have them on Nov. 1st than on Halloween.
Even though that would make their fathers day. Halloween is Anthony's favorite holiday. He gets more into it than xmas. Hopefully Seth, Aiden and Emilia will let me sleep tonight without too much pain.

Week 33

It has been hard to go from being a person who planned out the next three weeks to living a day at a time, but that is what I have to do to remain sane. My mom has been kind enough to get me laptop and internet access while in the hospital. It has been hard to rely on other people for every little need, especially when I always got pride in the fact that I didnt use others. My biggest dreams are of babies and sweets. I crave an icee, donuts, cake and cheesecake. My diabetes should go away once the babies are born. I cant wait, not to mention, not having to give myself shots 4 times a day and testing my blood sugar 5 times a day. I am still doped up on mag sulfate and terbutaline but still have occational contractions. My biggest change is how the babies move. Once one starts the other two will react,to any movement or sound. At 4am my terb pump started beeping and the sound sent the kids into a frenzy for about an hour. (that is about how long it took to find more terb due to a shortage of refills) Good thing I have great nurses that can improvise. Certain nurses have been my strength here at times...Sylvia, Eli, Xong, Thary and See. Not to mention the cleaning lady and aides. Mom and dad came by this morning and Anthony should be here soon for the day. I miss him and home more than I ever thought possible. Well I need to do a bed bath and get ready for lunch. Thank you to everyone for prayers and thoughts. I love my flowers from back east and cards...thank you soooo much...it really does help make me stay positive.
