Bab(ies) Bump

Some of you have been curious to see the size I've become. This picture was taken on Oct 11 at 14 weeks. By the next Sunday I had 3 people tell me I looked like I've doubled in size! (Like I said, I feel like the size of a bus!) I haven't really doubled in size but I do think that I am bigger by the end of each night - gravity I suppose!

I've got just 2 more pounds to gain to reach my "pre-pregnancy" weight. That darn morning sickness really took my appetite away and well, let's just say thank goodness for reserves! So I am on quite the doctors orders... eat ANYTHING - gain some fat and NO EXERCISE! Ok, so I have to admit that at my last OB appointment I tried my darndest to talk my doctor into a little lippo suction while she's in there during my C-section. Needless to say I was rejected and even laughed at! But I am telling you that some of the food I've had is not going to look so good on me after I deliver!

At this point we know that one of the babies is positively a boy. Baby B. I am feeling a lot of fluttering and movement and it is just days from feeling them externally - Cameron & Carolyn can hardly wait! One of my specialists (I have 3 doctors) thinks they are all 3 boys! Yikes! My other specialist (in the same office) only would confirm Baby B (who seems to always be telling us he's a boy!) I think Baby A is a boy and I am hoping Baby C is a girl (I know, I know, this is all quite confusing - you should see what the ultrasounds look like!)

Not only am I hoping for a girl for me but especially for Carolyn who is not too keen on the idea of having all brothers... her response to my "what if all 3 are boys?" "Well Mom, you can just have some more babies!" (Not going to happen... hence my desire for a girl!)

4 Years Old

Carolyn and Cameron turned 4 on September 26. We celebrated with Grandma & Grandpa, Aunt Molly (who made these awesome cakes, with Pat), Aunt Raena, Hadley, Vincent, Lauren, & Gentry. They each picked a cake they wanted Aunt Molly to make - these were quite a hit!

They had their annual doctors appointment today and here are their stats:
Carolyn weighs 35.5 lbs.
height 41.25 inches

Cameron wighs 35.6 lbs.
height 41.75 inches

They got a polio shot today and were very brave. And have since told me how much they don't like shots! (I agree!)

On the Contrary!

Ok, ok... so contrary to all the emails I've been getting from friends and family... I have not been horseback riding this entire time! (Thanks for the good laughs... you know who you are!)

I stopped riding horses the end of June to start doing something even bigger and better! (Bigger is the "operative" word here)! I've been growing not one, not two, but three little babies in me and well, I used to think Star the horse was as big as a bus... but I might pass her by before too long!

Yep, pregnant with triplets due April 9th (my 40 weeks --- just going to try to make it to March 15th - my 36 week point!). I am about 13.5 weeks along and I am finally seeing some relief from some pretty major morning sickness (first experience with it, hasn't been so fun!)

I promise I will try to be better at this blogging stuff! I have our summer camping trip and the kids 4th birthday to put on here... and I'll keep you all posted on this next batch of kids (because apparently that is how Heavenly Father blesses our family -- in multiples!) and I know there is a lot of excitement on what possibly the sexes could be!
