Thank You Visitors!


I love my visitors! All of you who have come up, I thank you. I know it's difficult taking time out, and driving downtown. If you haven't visited, don't feel bad! I also love blog messages. I get to talk to people without tiring out!

Yesterday, Chelle and the kids came up and we ate McDonalds for supper. I had a craving for the fries. Drew was so cute. He loves the babies in my belly. He rubbed it for like a half hour, and cuddled with me. I so love All my nephews and nieces! My other niece, Ella had a birthday yesterday. She turned 2! These youngin's just don't know what's going to hit with the triplets come!

Ode to a Pedicure!



I have three words: "Thank you Tara!" Last night my friends Tara and Sarah came up. Tara gave me a pedicure and Sarah brought me chocolate raspberry cheesecake. It was so relaxing! They are both such gems for doing this for me! I chose an appropriate nail color - "Spoiled" was the name. Now for those of you who are jealous and think I am living the high life up here... you are wrong. I only get the fringe benefits once in awhile. Currently, my rear end hurts bad from constantly sitting in my bed. It's not all fun & games, but I focus on the good things!

The Girls Are Growing!

The girls were measured on an ultrasound this morning. They are growing well! Baby A was 2 lbs. 3oz. Baby B was 2 lbs. 4 oz. And the winner... Baby C was 2 lbs. 10 oz!!!! She is the one that likes chocolate! Whenever I eat it she kicks me back!

Everything is still going well. No word on going home. I'm planning on being here for the long run. (6 more weeks max)!

Oh Happy Day!



I got good news from my ultrasound today! I am stable, and not "progressing." I don't want to go into too much detail because of my male and young children blog viewers. Anyway, this is good news, and there is a POSSIBILITY of going home by the end of this week. Of course we all know that it totally depends on how I do this week. It is a game of waiting and observing all the time! Wednesday I will have another ultrasound, and I will get to find out how big my babies are! My guess is that they are a little over 2lbs. each. I leave you with a verse that one of my friends gave me to remember. Psalm 3:5 "I sleep and wake up refreshed because you, Lord, protect me."

Pressing My Buttons

As Brad sits up in my hospital room and continually presses my buttons both figuratively and literally (the up/down buttons on my bed) I reflect:

Throughout my life there has always been someone there to "press my buttons." Growing up, it was my sister Chelle. She said she was just trying to make me tougher. Maybe she was right. I was well prepared when I became a teacher, and the fifth graders were always trying to "press my buttons." (Especially the boys). Then I married Brad! As with 5th graders, he LOVES to press my buttons! However through all of this, I have always had a great measure of patience. I am now wondering... is God preparing me for 3 Bradettes that are going to press my buttons?!

Day-time T.V. Stinks!

Okay, after a week of hanging out in a hospital, I consider myself an expert on day-time T.V. My personal opinion is that it stinks. I believe the programs they choose to air are chosen for stay-at-home moms and the jobless. Thus the high amount of Soap Operas and reruns. The Soap Operas just aren't as cool as I thought back in high school and college.

I have decided, in protest, to turn off the T.V. during the day and do Sudoku Puzzles or read.

That is all.

What else do I have to do?

Well, because I am bored on bedrest, I decided to create my own blog. I am so new at this, so no criticism please!

I thought this would be a cool way for people to check up on me and then the triplets later (after they are born).

Enjoy!
