Yesterdays Ultrasound

Well yesterday was a hard day for the Heffner crew. We had out ultrasound and all three babies are doing good for the most part. They were worried about a few things. One thing they were worried about is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echogenic_intracardiac_focus. Here's the link it gave us alot more information. And the other thing they were worried about is http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Handbook_of_Genetic_Counseling/Echogenic_Bowel. Both the links gave us hope that its will go away in the next ultrasound. The Dr did say that he has seen it and then it would go away by the next time. So im just think its just a error right now. But whatever happens im not worried. They are my children and i will love them no matter what. They other thing they are most worried about is one of the babies is about 2 ounces smaller and has less amniotic fluid then the other two. In the last ultrasound she was smaller as well. So they want to keep a very close eye on her to make sure she keeps up and has some fluid in there. If not then the baby could not make it. And if one doesn't make it then it puts them all at risk since they are all connected. So i will have another ultrasound in 3 weeks. And we are hoping and praying for the best. I mean he said he just want to alert me of what is going on. He still had some hope but he was worried about it. So we have to wait and see. He told me there was nothing i could do. That i have to take care of myself and the babies and hope and pray for the best.



After everything happen of course i was very upset. But Thanks to my wonderful friends and family i have found my faith and am going to do whatever i can do to keep my babies safe. I have so much faith. God gave me these precious girls by miracle. I think hes just making sure he did the right thing. I have full faith god is with me and the babies and i have nothing to worry about. I just need to focus on having a healthy normal as possible pregnancy and just hope for the best.




Please everyone please just pray for these precious babies to make it threw whatever they have to face.

Snow day in texas 2010

Well today was awesome woke up to all this snow this morning.
It was so awesome so exciting. First time we have seen snow in a long time been about 4 years since we have seen snow.


So tom is the big day. We find out the sex of the triplets im so excited. Im guessing either all girls or either two girls and one boy. Corries family is saying all boys or two boys and a girl.
and corrie thinks girls but not sure. To many babies to decide on.

Exciting week

Well this week is very exciting. I go for my regular appointment on monday. I get to see how the babies and mommy is doing then. Then wed afternoon we go for a major ultrasound with a specialist to make sure all the babies are ok and to possible see the sex of the babies. I know the babies are growing i can feel them moving. We heard all three babies heartbeats last night on the Doppler. Kaylie was telling us shhh the babies are sleeping. I think shes excited about the babies. Shes finally understanding theirs 3 babies in there. Im so very excited this week. Feb is going to be over with and march starting one step closer to holding all my beautiful babies. My mom is coming down the end of march my baby shower is also at the end of march. We had to change it cause corrie has alot of things coming up and i cant be alone at that point. Im excited for him but i also hope he can make it home in time for everything that may be going on. Im not going to worry about it cause either way corrie may not get to be there. I mean i know they have told me there will be about 30 people in the operating room with me when i have the babies. So i know its so serious dont know who will get to be there but either way i just praying its all goes so great. Im also very excited cause we are going to work on the babies room again today. Right now its kinda full of clothes and full crap so ready for it to be all cleaned and ready to start putting all the baby stuff up and together. Really the babies have helped me so much cause for so long been wanting to organize and get everything put in its own place. Ready for this week to get started.

Long Week

Well this week hasn't really went as planned. I just haven't been feeling right. Some days i get a energy burst in the morning which is good i could be doing some stuff but instead i have to run after the kids and there mess they make. They have been pretty bad this week. I mean usually they are really good. They eat breakfast go to there rooms watch some TV play and color some. And are great til corrie gets home for lunch. Then we have nap time after lunch and they sleep til a hour before corrie gets home and they watch some TV while i start dinner. Or they just come and get up in the bed with me and play some. This week its been running outside in the diaper ever few mins for Bradley. Kaylie make a mess thinking shes a big girl and do it all. I mean im so glad she thinks shes a big girl but getting herself chocolate milk isnt good when its all over the kitchen and living room. Then theirs me i haven't been feeling right. Feel a little off. Have days were im so tired i cant even make sense. I have days where my tummy feels weird and i don't move from the bed. And then i have just worry days that i worry that im doing something wrong . I mean i have decided not to watch any more shows or look up any more information cause it just has me worried more and more. I mean Its so hard to know what to do, if im doing everything right, what to expect in the next few months, and what to expect when they get here. I mean its all so scarey and reading the stuff and watching the baby shows i get even more scared. Right now im tring to plan the baby shower and help mama as much as i can since i cant be there. I want to go so bad. Its killing me. Wish i could just fly everyone to me but i cant. Im super excited about how much my family and friends seem to be pulling together to help me. I miss them all so much and wish they were here. Ive started to look into getting some free things. I seen that some places try to help u out and well with triplets i will need all the help i can get. Hoping maybe there can be a few more places cause most of the places have stopped doing it. Which not sure why, i mean theirs so many places out there and triplets takes alot of stuff why wouldn't they want to get someone with some free stuff to make them come there way to give them more business.

Update

Well went to my second Dr appointment and everything went good. The triplets are doing so great. Moving around like crazy. They said they are doing so good. They told me to get ready for all thing pregnancy to get 3 times as worse as a regular pregnancy. But im ok with that. Im really excited about it all. Tring to get everything kinda set up. 14 weeks til the babies will be here.

15 weeks pregnant.

First dr appointment at Temple.

My first appointment went pretty good. The only compliant i had was we had to wait a hour for my appointment. Then they talked to me about some stuff. They answered all my questions. They did a Doppler and got two heart beats there for baby c was running so they couldn't catch it so they brought out the ultrasound and got all 3 heart beats on it. They said they all look good. So far baby a is 7.5oz and baby b is 7.5oz and then baby c is 8.5oz. Which is really good. They still haven't picked a the day yet. They keep telling me im 15 then 14 weeks. So i guess they think im between 14 to 15 weeks. So i have to get my records. They scheduled me for my ultrasound for 4 weeks. So we find out the sex in 4 weeks i cant wait. They also told me that they dont think i will ever make it to 32 weeks they think i will deliver at 30 weeks. It really scared me cause the earlier i deliver the longer the babies will have to stay in the hospital. And the more possibility for complications. It was very overwhelming. Today they have me doing a 24 hour urine culture. Then wed i turn that in and have a EKG. Very nervous about that. Haven't ever had one before. Im sure everything is fine there but its still kinda scary. So much stuff is going threw my head today. About the babies the things we need to do this week. Everything coming up and im starting to feel a little stressed. I just have to find the faith to get me threw this next few months.

7 years to soon.

Is a sad day today. Today is the 7 year anniversary of our friends Kimmy Bush, Brittany Tomb, and Bionca Tombs. Even after 7 years it still gets to me. Looking at facebook this morning was so hard. I miss them so much. I will never forget them. I know they are looking down on us and smiling bright at all that we are now. We have all changed so much. I like to think that each of us take a special piece of them with us every day.

Well today im very excited about my appointment on Monday. Today im relax i finally got threw with all that papers and stuff in that closet. I had like 8 boxs over full with stuff and now we have 3 boxes. And now i have sorted threw everything. So this weekend we are finally going get the room completely done for the babies. And then we can focus on the rest of the house. Finally get everything put in storage and get ready for all the wonderful people coming. I cant wait for people to come. I really need some help. I know this sounds so horrible but its getting so hard for me to move and do things. So soon im going to need more help. Im going to post some pics next week i think Ill be 15 weeks pregnant Next Thursday. Im getting so excited. I have done way more than i thought i could have accomplished this month. Im bad cause i want everything to be perfect and my house to look nice inside and outside so i have been kinda working pretty hard to get it that way before company comes. But once all this is all done im resting and taking it easy for the next 4 months. Maybe then i can keep these babies in here til 34 weeks or longer.

Registry at the new hospital in temple

Well the registry at the hospital went so great i thought it would be a big pain in the butt. They have made it very easy and so comfortable. I Have my first appointment with the dr on monday. Im so excited. I just actually watched triplets be born on on discovery health and man it got me so teary eyed. I just cant wait for that wonderful day. It all had made me so thankful and happy. I have been kinda being bad been tring to help corrie some. Hes been so stressed out. We have almost knocked out one room but still got a little bit to go. I cant wait til the family gets here to help some. I cant do to much yesterday walking up to the clinic i felt it that night. My body i spreading so fast to make room. Last night i didnt sleep to great. They were awake all night it seemed. Moving around like crazy. Im so glad though cause i didnt feel them to much for a few days. I mean i felt little things but not all of them. Last night and today feeling all of them.

So today im going to try and get the rest of the stuff gone threw in the babies room. And maybe do some laundry today. Im hoping maybe we can do our taxes soon maybe today. Im hoping to talk my parent into coming down soon. Im starting to need the help more and more. I wish i didnt its so hard for me cause i hate having to depend on people. I know i can depend on my parents and family but they all have so much going on themselves i hate to mess with all that.
Well anyway going to relax as much as i can today and see if i can help corrie today

Frustration

Well i have been on bedrest now for about three weeks. I have

Planned the baby shower
picked out names
started the registry
Made invite list
started a blanket
started the blog

Whew have done serval things. I went out this weekend and got a few things taking care of. We started cleaning out the closets and getting rid of things we cant use. Thinking about having a yard sale. I Have so many things and im sure a lot of people could still use. And whatever we dont sale i want to give to goodwill or charity. I have been kinda frustrated lately. I think being inside and not being able to do things by myself is just getting to me. I'm use to doing it all and now not being able to do anything is a little bit of a bummer. I'm tring to just relax but its hard with everything worries and all that. I don't want to put the babies in any danger and i know if my blood pressure goes up it could be bad fast. I watched the duggar baby 19 and it made me so scared. There baby was about 7 weeks earlier than my babies will be and it weigh 1lbs and 6 oz. Seeing it there so small. It broke my heart she didn't get to see her before they took her away. Its going to break my heart. I cried a lot last night. Hormones! I was also missing my grandma so much. I know shes with us but some days its hard. Also today is the anniversary of our friends getting killed in Iraq. Corries been having nightmares about it for a couple weeks now. I knew it was coming up fast but there isn't a day that goes by i don't think about them and how much i miss all of them. Its been 4 years since that horrible day. Well going to relax today and get my new diaper bag later today. Excited about that. Getting my hair cut tom. Excited about that. Going to give my hair to locks of love. Been wanting to for a long time now it should be more than long enough. well everyone have a good day will post pics tom
