We're Still Here!

I have gotten many emails and calls to check on my well being. I haven't updated my blog in awhile because I have been rather uncomfortable and somewhat crabby. However, God has been good in giving me a good day today! So, to answer many of your wonderings... I am 31 & 1/2 weeks along. Once we reach 32 weeks (on Sat.) we have reached a huge milestone! After 32 weeks, my doctors won't necessarily be worried if I have to deliver. However, they won't do a C-section until the babies show distress, or I go into labor. The absolute cut-off would be 36 weeks, but I don't plan on going that far! Luckily I probably won't have to go on Magnesium Sulfate after 32 weeks!! Yay! Almost there! My mind is still doing well up here; however, my body is starting to give up. Keep praying for strength and patience!

Sorry about the belly shot. Brad says if my shirt is down, it doesn't do it justice! (Apologies to men who get grossed out by pregnant bellies - however, mine is beautiful!)

You looked great last night. You inspire us all. Did Doug have 3 meals with you this weekend? He had better be careful or his belly will look like yours.

3 meals with Doug, 3 pictures of Doug on my blog, 3 babies, coincidence?

Hang in there, Stacey. I know you will get plenty of help after they arrive because I have found it addictive to want to cuddle my new grandson. They will be SO worth all the boredom & discomfort you are suffering from now. And I'm thinking you won't be bored again until...maybe they graduate? :) We'll keep you in our prayers.

Stacey,
You're doing great. Hang in there just a little bit longer. I'm praying that you will feel well, keep patient, and healthy babies. God is good and he's blessing this.

I remember PAS. I was driving when he tried to get up on one ski about 20 times. I'm quite bummed he didn't make an appearance this 4th!

I hope I see a Black Bear as big as your "Belly" is now, at the end of August. I'm sure it won't be as beautiful nor as precious as yours. Hopefully Fig.,Brian, & I can bring you back 3 Bear rugs for your 3 bare babbies to lay and play on.!!:)

I remember PAS I think it was one of those rare times I was actually in the boat.

You look great Stacey. Don't worry about showing that belly. At least you have an excellent excuse...look how many big hairy belly's we have to look at at the beach and their only excuse is beer! Hang in there!
