More Than We Could Imagine!

Praise the LORD with us!!!

* We made it to 32 weeks!

* I have had NO trouble (preeclampsia, high bp, gestational diabetes, etc) that is common during a multiples pregnancy!!! Not even swelling - I even still have ankles!!!

* I am still eating, sleeping (laying down!), and walking around (even able to go up and down the stairs)!!! (with some discomfort, but manageable!)

* And............. (drumroll)..............





WE HAVE A C-SECTION DATE... The boys will arrive on

July 16th @ 9:30 AM






Please keep on praying for this amazing strength that God has so graciously given me. I am still in awe of all the He has done. I really want to WALK into our c-section on that Thursday morning without any contractions, no water breaking, etc. I am so excited that I am at the end of this pregnancy, and am going to ENJOY these last two weeks of being pregnant.

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen." Ephesians 3:20-21

And to see how big the belly is...

Almost 32 Weeks!!

Yahoo! Well, our doctor's appointment was great today! God has given me a supernatural ability to carry these boys! And I praise Him all the way!!!!! We have some big boys - I can't believe I'm carrying almost 13 lbs of baby!

Baby A: 4.7 lbs
Baby B: 4.5 lbs
Baby C: 4.0 lbs

As we get further along in the pregnancy, these estimated weights on ultrasound can vary up to .5 - 1 lb. The ultrasound looked so confusing... it was just a jumble of baby body parts b/c they are so big!!!

I haven't dilated anymore than 1cm, so it looks like they are staying in there for now! :-) I keep telling myself just one more week, one more week. Our doctor is still out of town, but we talked to the NP today, and she said that our c-section will probably be scheduled for around 36 weeks (once they get the July on-call schedule in). Dr. Kang is usually on call Thursdays and Mondays, so our c-section will probably be scheduled for July 23 or July 27! Crazy!!!! I will be asking for July 23 :-) hahah... so 1 month from today I could be holding our boys!!!

I will post a picture soon of the gigantor belly- once I take one. For now, I'm going to go take a nap :-)

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for your prayers!!!

Love,
ML

H.O.T.

Just because I'm feeling dramatic, I thought I would let everyone know that our a/c is out and has been since this morning. It had to have reached the 100's today here, and it doesn't feel too far from it inside. I am sitting on the couch with a fan about to blow me away... (which is helping) and drinking more water than I ever have in my life.

A sweet a/c man is working overtime today to fix the a/c of "the pregnant triplet mom...." - yes, we totally pulled that card!

Be back tomorrow with a doctor update. Please say a prayer that all is well & the boys have grown to 3.5 to 4 pounds! I'll let you know!

Sending out love & thoughts of ice cubes...
