Nicole got to go stay with the Stallings for the last couple of days and was very sad to have to come home. She had so much fun. She's very social so I'm sure she'll love having these new siblings to play with. She came home today and entertained me with some games of Go Fish this afternoon.
I had the Dr. on Monday and I'm 35 cm, measuring full term. He said it's time to start pretty strict bed rest. I can only leave to go to Dr. appointments and other than that I have to be down all the time. I was hoping to make it a couple more weeks, but he said it will be a disaster if we have them in the next four weeks so I guess it's easier than the alternative. He'll be happy if we make it to 32 but still wants 34 or more. So I have the next 8 weeks to lounge around and do things I've never had time for. I do take a nap everyday since I don't sleep well at night, so that helps the days go by quicker, but even with my projects it gets boring laying around all day. I guess it's not too long until I'll be anything but bored.So after laying around for 2 days, today was exciting to get out of the house and go to the perinatologist, except that I get really sick and light-headed during the ultrasounds from having to lay flat on my back. He also said I need to be a blob until the end. It's always a relief to see how they're doing and that they're all still growing. Today's results at 26 weeks:
Caleb (A): 2 lbs 0 oz., 25 weeks 6 days, head down
McKay (B): 2 lbs 1 oz., 25 weeks 6 days, breech
Brooke (C): 1 lb 15 oz., 25 weeks 5 days, breech
They're all about the same size and very active. If you wait a few minutes you can usually see at least one of them moving.
although I can't imagine the discomfort and such that goes with triplets, I am right there with you regarding to the bed rest. I think many who have never had to do it think that you are getting a nice vacation, but it gets old so fast. I have occupied myself with church novels and such, but if you need a friend who understands the ups and downs of bed rest, just give me a call!

I just wanted to let you know that I am not going to be able to make it to your shower. I work a graveyard Friday night. I hope everyhting is going well. If you need anything don't hesitate to ask. i would love to get Nicloe off your hands if you wanted me to, I think her and Jace would have a lot of fun together.
