Chris is 26 weeks and 3 days pregnant! We are in the home stretch. Here is this week's picture.

Well, it's been an exciting and busy two weeks. I finished working the summer session, had our "babies shower" and had a lot of Dr. appts. Mommy and babies are doing very well! Our babies are 2.3, 2.4 and 1.14 lbs. Chris is up about 55 lbs which is perfect. The doctor said her weight gain is right on target and she is great! He said she could be "the poster child for a triplet pregnancy" isn't that the cutest?
On to the babies shower......I think it went well and everyone enjoyed themselves. We thought it was beautiful! And boy, did we get spoiled....... I can't even express how generous and thoughtful everyone was. We are so grateful! We thoroughly enjoyed looking at each and every present, all week. I have been organizing all of our gifts and getting the house ready. It's a lot work but very exciting.
We have been getting out of the house more. It seems to help Chris' anxiety. She gets some anxiety when she feels like she can't breath and when she can't get comfortable. The more her mind stays busy the better off she is. I make it a point to get her out for an outing each day. We have actually had some outings that resemble our old life. On Thursday, we went to Dr. Rogers for a 945am appt. After the appt. we decided to stay in the area and enjoy our old stomping ground. We went up to the Avon boardwalk and had lunch at the pavilion. We found a nice shady bench and sat for awhile and enjoyed the scenery. Then, we went home and went to the pool. We ordered take out for dinner and we were both very happy girls. It was just like old times.....Except.......
1. Chris can't walk much, so I push her around in a wheelchair.
2. The wheelchair is like 60 lbs(that I lift in and out of the
back of the Honda Fit and have to put on and take off the legs each time so it fits)
3. She has to sit in the back seat of the car because she has more room.
(a.k.a. Miss Daisy)
4. I am always the designated driver because she can't drive anymore.
5. All of our outings involve 3 pillows that have to come with us everywhere!
6. Her purse, which could be considered luggage is to heavy so I carry it for her.
7. We no longer say " Can we have a booth please?" She CAN'T fit!
See? except for the above, it's just like old times! It's all in good fun. We have to laugh sometimes because we can get snarly with each other. She gets hot and ornery. I'm sweating pushing the wheelchair with a combined weight of God knows what.... We both can get cranky and then we have to laugh it off. It keeps us sane!
So that's all the news for now. Keep us in your prayers for continued health and happiness!
Love, Kelly, Chris and the Babies <3 <3 <3
