20 weeks

This me pregnant 20 weeks with the triplets.
So Far we are all doing good. We have gained 14lbs. I am trying to only gain 25lbs this pregnancy that is what the Dr recommended with me being a little over weight already. We are getting ready for the baby shower. Im not going to be able to go but mama is going to take care of it all. Then mama is coming to stay with me for a bit. I cant wait i have missed the family alot. And im starting to need more help. Its been really hard getting bigger and bigger to move around. Alot of my body hurts cause its alot of pressure and weight on alot of different places. Right now im feeling the babies move alot more. They are getting much bigger and feel them alot. They are fighting alot for room and starting to stretch out. Been feeling pretty good with my sugar its been doing great. I have my days of course some days its lower and some days its just right.But as long as its good im happy. I have been getting the babies room ready. We got some shelves painted. My best friend Lana gave me a great idea. About kinda monogram of the girls name in the middle of the wall above the crib. I figured get some big cut out paint them and put it right above there bed. I love decorating stuff. I really enjoy painting stuff, always have. Im so excited for the girls to get here. Im anxious but i want them to stay in there til at least 33 weeks.

Last ultrasound and update.

Well we got good news on the ultrasound this last Wednesday. So far our small baby girl is hanging in there. We think she may possible have more fluid. Which is great news. And so far the other girls fluid is still looking great. Perfect amount no more no less. Which is a good sign. You can see all there bladders which is GREAT. So we don't have another ultrasound for a couple weeks. I am almost to 20 weeks. And it seems each day i feel bigger and bigger. That's OK though. Me and corrie have set up our budget for the next few months. We decided to save for the car instead of getting a loan for one. We are hoping to purchase a new car in June or July. We think this is really going to be the only way we can get a new car cause of our past credit history. We just haven't had any luck getting a loan in the past and don't want to make things worse by trying over and over again. We are also planning to get a new dryer. Our dryer has been on the outs for a few months and we have been worried it will break and we will be in so much trouble. Most of what we do is laundry. And i know when the triplets get here we will have tons of laundry. So a dryer will be very much needed. My parents are coming down in a few weeks. We are so excited. Finally we both get a small break. Kaylie and Bradley have been acting out a bit. I know they feel the stress we have been very stressed and worried about everything. I mean its alot to handle especially when they tell u something maybe wrong with your babies. It worries u alot. Plus the fact that i cant help makes me so upset cause i have been the one doing it all for a long time now and now having to have and ask for help is hard for me. I mean i have some way made it all this time and now asking for help takes a bit of my pride away. But its all ok. Im going to need help with triplets. Its alot of babies, diapers, clothes,wipes, its alot of everything. Was watching about quads and they were using 32 diapers a day so maybe 6 less so we will be using basically a pack of diapers a day. Thats alot of diapers. But excited to get all this stuff set up and planned. So we will be prepared for anything.

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.
