Well after having the summer Flu for 3 weeks I am finally seeing the sunshine through the clouds. My OB gave me an antibiotic because the cold just kept getting worse and she was worried that it could affect the Babies. I was coughing so hard that I was throwing up which is NEVER fun. My whole body ached and I had little to no sleep. I tried to pretend I wasn't feeling as bad as I did but when I finally saw the Doctor I was exhausted and needed something to make it go away.
We have finally settled on the Babies names.
Baby A is Brandon James Talbot, James is after My Grandpa James Jerome Cunningham, My Dad's middle name is James, and My Uncle Jim (UJ) :D. My Uncle Jim will also be Brandon's God Father and his God Mother is my Auntie Niki. Although I couldn't grant my Auntie Niki's wish to name Brandon. Nicholas Aunt Niki Talbot, I will still be honored to have her as his God Mother. :) We had a 3D Ultrasound done of the Babies and Brandon looks just like My Dad. :)
Baby B is Alexis Marie Talbot; Marie is after my Sister Jennifer Marie. Alexis's (Lexie) God Parents are our Good friends Robert and Valerie Burch. Alexis's 3D Photos look just like Allison's did and she looks like a spitting image of her.
Baby C is Dawson William Talbot, William is after Eric's Grandpa Talbot, Eric's Dad is William (Bill) Talbot and Eric's Middle name is William. Dawson's God Parents are TBD, We have a few people in mind but it’s up to Eric to decide and he is taking forever on that. :) Dawson was sleeping on his tummy in his 3D ultrasound so hopefully his next ultrasound we will be able to see his little face. :)
Having Triplets has its ups and downs, some days the pregnancy is a breeze and others your Body just doesn't like you. The Heartburn is like nothing I have ever experienced.... Ok in the last few months with Allison it was bad but this is worse. I tried eating Tums that didn't work to long, I then was prescribed a medication that only helped 10% of the time and they finally have me on Zantac. It seems to be working but the nights I still need to take Tums on top of the Zantac or I will be throwing up from the Acid.
I am officially larger than I was the day I had Allison and the comfort level is not the greatest. Again some days it’s not so bad but others I can’t get comfortable in any position I am in. Dawson, Baby C likes to sleep on his stomach and push his back up against my ribs. This can be extremely uncomfortable to me because he makes my ribs go numb and skin around it goes to sleep. I try to maneuver my little peanut but he has his made up his mind that he likes this position and doesn't really care if he is hurting Mommy. :) Sometimes I put a cold drink on my stomach to make him move if the little pushing doesn't change his position but he will move right back after I move it. :)
The Doctors put me on Moderate Bed rest and I am trying to listen to them. I don't feel I needed it as soon as they put me on it and there was nothing wrong with me to need it. My BP is still low, I am not swelling in any way, I am not dilated or effaced and I passed the pressure test (when they push on your stomach if you dilate you don't pass) so I... Know it’s not right... But haven't really taken it as easy as they have suggested.
Sleep is just not something that I really enjoy these days. Anyone can attest to this, in your last trimester you are just not comfortable sleeping. Your belly gets in the way of comfort and strange things happen in your sleep. Random numbness, baby kicks, you have to pee, heartburn, OH and when your husband is snoring up a storm it doesn't make the experience any better because you’re so tired and then get annoyed that he can sleep SOOO well and you just want to close your eyes for a minute and sleep :)... Well unfortunately that is happening to me already... Has been for a while but lately I feel like it is a little bit more.
Everything else is coming together very easy. Baby's room is together and we will be getting the last crib next week from our friend Abby. Allison is soooo excited for her Babies to get here and often talks to the Babies and kiss's my stomach. The weather has been BEAUTIFUL so we have been trying to spend our time outside but our stream has attracted mosquitoes and poor Alli gets bit really badly.
Our next Dr.s visit is the sugar drink one so hopefully I pass and don't have anything to worry about. The weight is still staying very low but the Babies are doing great and Doctors aren't worried. :) I am not complaining, less for me to lose after they get here. :D
I will try to post the photos of the Babies if my computer will let me. The photos are not on a disk so I need to scan them into the computer.
Thanks for following our Blog; We appreciate all the love and support,
Love,
Anne, Eric, Allison, Brandon, Alexis, Dawson and our Dog Brophy.
