25 weeks pregnant

So far so good with the babies. I had an appointment on the 18th and once again the doctors were impressed with my cervix of steele! They tell me that just about everytime I get it messured, which as of now and for the rest of my pregnancy it will get messured everytime I go in as well as getting an FFN. That is performed like a pap smear and it tells the doctors whether or not you have a chance of going into labor within the next two weeks. So far Im not going into labor! YEY!! These babies need to stay in here as long as possible! I go to the doctor every two weeks right now and soon it will be every week and then 2 times a week! The only thing is that I have to drive an hour just to get to the hospital so hopefully nothing goes wrong and I dont go into labor while im home otherwise that is going to be a very long and noisy drive! Today I actually thought I was going to have to go to the hospital because i hadnt felt my babies move all day, until Corey came home for lunch and tried to get them to move and they did a little but not like normal so i kinda freaked out which is easy for a first time mom! But after he left i turned on some music to see if that would work, they like music a lot, and it worked! They started kicking the crap out of me! Normally it gets kinda painful and almost irritating but not this time because i was worried that something was wrong but they were just sleeping! I think I worried so much because right now they arent as big as they normally would be because of uterine restriction which means my uterus isnt stretching like it needs to for these babies but this is my first time being pregnant so its kinda hard on me. The doctor said that if they werent as healthy as they are that they would have gone ahead and taken them earlier than planned because of the lack of space to grow.

That scared me a little when she said that. But luckily they are developing really well they just arent getting as big as fast as normal triplets but they arent too far behind! Hopefully the restriction doesnt keep up so that I can go as long as they want me to which would be around the first week in August so ill be about 35-36 weeks along so not too far from full term! I dont know how well thats going to work with my body but i know im not going to fight it i want them to stay in there! Well at least until they would have a good start and not have to be in NICU for long! Anyway thats whats happening so far I will post another one when there is more info on them!

Im having what!?

My name is Tabitha and Im 20years old. Im married to a wonderful man that serves our country in the Marine Corp. We are currently stationed in SC which happens to be the mid-point between where his family lives, Maine, and where my family lives, Kansas. We found out we were pregnant on Christmas day 06! I thought we were just having one boy, this was, of course, before I had my first ultra sound. Corey, my husband, had been threatening me since we found out that we were pregnant that I was going to end up having twins, this is only because I happened to fall into the generation for that on my side of the family. But when I found out we were not having twins, but triplets I got to prove him wrong! Triplets were deffinately not something I had ever thought of. I was ok with the chance that we might have twins but not this! I thought that I was going to pass out when the doctor told me how many babies she saw! At first I didnt really know what to think. I was scared, nervous, excited, and confused all at once. Of course when I told Corey he thought it was great but thats only because he didnt have to worry about carrying them...We called everyone we could think of in a matter of minutes. No one believed us at first and then I sent them the pictures! Everyone was so excited for us and scared at the same time. No one on either side of out family has ever experienced triplets before, so this is a new adventure for everyone! Now that Im 24 weeks along and I only have 10 more weeks until my c-section Ive started to look at it this way, I got blessed with three beautiful children all at once, I never have to get pregnant again because Im having two girls and a boy, my children will always have a friend to play with that loves them just as much as I do, and my life will never be dull or boring and Ill always have someone around that needs me and loves me no matter what. Im so excited to be a mom that I cant stand it! I wish that they were here now, but I know that they need to stay in here as long as they can so they are big and healthy when they get here. Its pretty hard to describe the different feelings I get when i think about these little ones. I wonder how I will ever afford it and I worry that people will see them as "the triplets" and not as Aiden, Chloe and Riley like I do. They all have very different personalities already even inside the womb. That is the biggest reason why I dont want them treated as a group but as individuals like they are. They are all in their own little sack and they stay in their own space and sometimes play with each other. They even kick back at me when I say something or when i poke them a little to get them to move out of my ribs! They make me smile so much already, I cant wait to have the premanent smile that they will give me when they are here!
