How "just one trip" became three (babies)... update 6/29, huge triplets photo update

[ANTSS2001]

That is great that is all is well with NAP!!!

 

[seobaina]

That's great news! You've got us all on Disney baby watch Btw, you decided how you're gonna decided which name goes with which baby? Is it gonna be NAP=ABC or NAP=birth order?

 

[DisneyMom5]

Glad they are strappin big boys! Whoo hoo!

You don't have to answer this if you don't want to, but do multiples have to be c-sections?
I had my first two by c-section, and the rest not, so I have sympathy for c-section mommys!

Andrew will be the first born, the other two it depends on the order. We will name one that we know is identical Parker. So it could be alphabetical or names assigned after we meet them.

Not all multiples are delivered C-section. It depends on how they are positioned. With triplets C-section is common since it's hard to track all of the babies heart rates during delivery. In my case we are opting for a scheduled C-section because it's easier to monitor the babies and two are transverse so it's the only option anyway.

Thanks for the update. How's Code holding up?

I think he's doing pretty good. He'll respond soon I think. Kind of hectic for him to be going to work everyday then coming to see me plus taking care of everything at the house. He's been wonderful delivering snacks and necessities from home.

Wow!!! That's wonderful news - you're doing a great job!!! I don't suppose there's a chance of a picture of mom before the boys make their bid for freedom???

Code took some pictures over the weekend in my styling hospital pjs, I think he plans on posting them.

 

[Circusgirl]

Wahoo! You are Supermom already! It's thrilling to hear how well things are going. I'll look forward to that picture...

Growth scan day!

In this corner we have baby A at 4 lbs 3 oz, in that corner we have baby B at 4 lbs 4 oz and in that other corner we have baby C at 4 lbs 3 oz!

Everything on the ultrasound looked great. I'm still trying to figure out how over 12.5 lbs of baby fits in my tummy. That's a lot of baby. One of my goals was to have everyone over 4 lbs at birth since it reduces a lot of the risks.

All of the good news makes the hospital stay easier, it certainly gives peace of mind that the boys are being carefully monitored.


Lisa

That is sooo wonderful!
I was a twin and was 4 lbs 1 oz so already those babies are off to a wonderful start!!!! They are in all of our prayers hun!

Andrew will be the first born, the other two it depends on the order. We will name one that we know is identical Parker. So it could be alphabetical or names assigned after we meet them.

I hadn't thought about how to do that. I've only ever had to name one at a time.

Not all multiples are delivered C-section. It depends on how they are positioned. With triplets C-section is common since it's hard to track all of the babies heart rates during delivery. In my case we are opting for a scheduled C-section because it's easier to monitor the babies and two are transverse so it's the only option anyway.

Well, then we'll add that to the prayers! C-section isn't my preferred delivery method, but it is VERY helpful in situations like yours. Just make sure you remember it is MAJOR surgery, and have people wait on you hand and foot for 6-8 weeks. People tend to think it's not that big a deal, but recovery time is REALLY important if you want to be the best, healthy, and rested momma you can be!

And Pl'smama - glad to hear of the successful arrival of William, and that you all are well. A picture might be nice.[/QUOTE]



Thanks Abby's Dad! I do plan to get a photo up here soon. It is just that darn thing that keeps slippin away from me. What is it called? Oh yeah, TIME!! But he is such a lovely baby I do want to share him. Thanks again for your good wishes.

Suz

 

[pl'smama]

Pl'smama congrats on the arrival of William, I'm happy to hear you are both doing well.



Thanks Lisa, I appreciate it! I am so happy for you guys that the boys are all over the four pound mark with time to grow still. That is amazing. You are obviously doing everything right by them. That makes you an awesome mama already!!!

Do you currently listen to any sort of music while you mark off the days on your calander? Do you plan to listen to music during the delivery? I am just being nosy, but I found it helped me. I to had a section and my wonderful doctor let us play our own music. Unfortunately I can't remember what William was born to ( my mind was a bit pre-occupied!), but I do remember that my DD was born to "American Pie", but the Madonna version! It is makes for some interesting memories at any rate.

Keep up the good work and hi to Code! Tons of blessings and prayers are on their way.

Welcome to our new readers!

Today is the start of week 31 another milestone, still hoping for 3 more weeks. I have daily ultrasounds and non-stress tests now, the boys all look great. We've seen them taking practice breaths and we seen hair on their heads.

Lisa

Oh Lisa! They have hair! WOW!

So glad you have a little something to do so you dont be bored while on bed rest! AND you have the internet too?! What would we do without it?

Thanks again for the update!

I just found your trip reoprt, I know waaaay late but congrats and you and the boys are in my thoughts and prayers.

 

[peemagg]

Congratulations!!! That is great!! I can just imagine your surprise at the ultasound, in fact I think I may have seen it first hand when I saw my sister's face when she was told she was having twins. I bet your faces were just as priceless. I remember it vividly and the twins are now 2.

One thing that my sister found to be a God send was called Podee Bottles. They are baby bottles where the nipples are on a straw like tube. It made feedings those first 6-8 months a whole lot easier. You should look into it. It would allow you to feed 3 hungry little mouths without having to prop bottles and without extra hands.

 

[Lease]

Rootskate of course we remember you and our meeting on the tram. You were the only DISers to do the "focker watch" to us

Disney Spaz and peemagg!

Just a short update, still in the hospital and still pregnant. The boys are all doing well, heart rates are great and still very active.

I am being very closely monitored for pre-eclampsia and toxemia if the tests come back positive or blood pressure keeps climbing it looks like we'll deliver this week. A little earlier than I'd like, but we'll see how it goes.

[DisneySherpa]

Long time lurker who just wanted to come out and wish you well since you may be delivering this week!

I've loved your TR and hearing about your 3 mousketeers on the way! And all boys! Bless your heart girl!

Enjoy every minute of it... I think with multiple times go by so much faster... especially when they're young. Be sure to stick around the boards too! I'd love to hear about their first Disney trip

Best of luck to you two... er five!

 

[kschafer]

I was just wondering yesterday if not hearing anything for awhile meant they had already made their arrival. Glad to hear you are hanging in there and all looks well!

 

[ladylyons]

Another long time lurker here and first time poster. Just wanted to come and say congrats on the little ones. Enjoy every minute you can with them and takes lots and lots of pictures because the time just flys way to fast. Here's to hoping that things keep going fine for the five of you.

 

[Abby's Dad]

Glad to hear that the boys are still doing great, wish you were doing better, but it sounds like you are getting great care, so everything will be fine.

 

[DisneyFreak06]

And Not to forget No real words needed on the DIS!

 

[kimmylaj]

all i can say is wow. you are doing a great job hanging in there. that is amazing. good luck and thinking of you often. take care

 

[Blessed_wth_Triplets]

Hi! Just found your report and a BIG CONGRATULATIONS from one triplet mom to another!! I have BBB triplets too (spontaneous and fraternal), but mine just turned SIX last week! CRAZY! You are in for a wild, GLORIOUS ride and sounds like you're doing great! If you have any quesitions please ask away! Just wait until you can take your first trip to WDW with them! We took our boys the first time when they were 4.5, then again the next year at 5.5, and now we are awaiting the arrival of our Disney princess due June 6th! Can't wait to take her...God willing next summer. Can't wait to hear more!
