Non-Substantive Belly Picture Post
Just for comparison ... and just because I like to see how small my butt once was.
11 Weeks
29 Weeks
35 days until our babies are born! (See that? That is reckless optimism, and I will probably pay for it, but I like to pretend like I am in control sometimes.)
Wow, 35 days...thats pretty close! Did you get a steriod shot for the lungs yet?? DONT FRET, but my Perinatologist office does it at 28 weeks just as precaution...i ended up getting mine at 27 weeks when i was hospitalized overnight for the fake high blood pressure issue.
35 days is nothing, a drop in the bucket! Look how amazingly well your Cervix has done! I don't think you are going to pay for that optimism. In fact, I do believe you should...
start spreading the news... you're staying right there you don't want any part of it - terbutaline pump! your housebound shoes, are itching to stay in front of your Macbook screen - nowhere to go!
If you can, make it here you'll make it 35 days It's up to YOU, Cervix, Cerrrviiiiiiix!
And with that, I am taking my bow for the evening. :) Sending you all much love. I think of you all the time!
BTW, you still don't have a butt.. you just had baggier pants on in the first photo. You're ALL belly!! Your boobies, on the other hand.. uh hmmm.. Yep, you can say those have gotten bigger.
I'm just behind you in days.. I only have 50ish to go.
PS - I was remiss in my earlier comment by not mentioning your TINY arse! TINY! You are all baby. All belly. Nothing more so stop deluding yourself. :) xoxo
You look amazing! I can't believe you're having triplets -- congratulations! I also really loved your "don't smoke crack" post. I always find it hilarious when the intake nurse at my OB's office asks me in a complete monotone whether I've taken any hard drugs since my last visit. I kind of want to say yes just to see if it snaps her awake! :o)
You look great! I have been following your blog from the beginning of your IVF cycle, as you are a few weeks ahead of me. One of my good friends had triplets one year ago and I remember everything she had to go through....you will get there and your boys will be healthy and beautiful. Here is her blog if you are interested. www.mybabydrama.com
Yay for 35 days! You are gonna get pretty close to it! Nice shots there! :) And you butt doesn't look out of shape at all! BTW, how much weight have you gained with triplets as compared to your singleton?
Oh my gosh, you're glorious! Butt (quite cute, not at ALL large...please woman, I could show you large!), belly, boobs and all. You look like a very small person carrying some nice, large, healthy babies! I'm so, so happy for you that all continues to go well (if you can just avoid that crack... ;).
If you need to see a fat butt, let me know an I'll show you mine!! ;)
So we scheduled the c-section for week 38....eeekkk....that's like 4.5 weeks away! It made me so nervous to actually schedule it!. I hope the boys don't have a hidden agenda, but I doubt the synched their outlook calendars with mine ;)
Hi. Saw your blog on the multiples site. I'm tubeless, too, which was what caught my attention. I only have twins from IVF ;) You look great. Good luck!!
All I can say is that you have an amazing belly, lady!! I'm so excited that you have made it this far. You are almost 30 weeks, my friend and that is huge. Amazing. Good work mama. I can't wait to meet those three little men!
Wow, you do look great. I'm starting to get the premature tightenings that are really worrying me at 16.5 weeks (17 weeks tomorrow). My cervix was 4.2 last week, and I'm having another scan (different hospital though) tomorrow to check on it. What's your magical pill (the sleeping pill with good muscle-relaxing side effects)? I'm already on the folic acid at 4mg a day, but could think of taking ibuprofen too, I guess. I'm on the countdown to viability (only 7 weeks to go - that's a bloody long time!) too. I hope my cervix will behave for as long as yours has. When did you start noticing the contractions? How often were they coming? Were they just tightening? I don't have much pain, but can feel my belly's a little off when one comes. I frequently get them just after going pee, which is irritating. I'd love to hear some wise words of advice from you - I'm so worried something's going to go wrong with this pregnancy. Everyone else thinks I'm overreacting, but with two losses under my belt (early on), and 4 years of TTC behind me now, I'd be absolutely devastated if something happened now.
I have had one tube removed and then had 5 failed IVF cycles. Now as of last week I switched to SRM in Seattle and they want to remove my other tube before my next IVF cycle. Do you have any thoughts of why seeing you had both of yours removed. Why would they want to take my other out even though we don't use it with IVF? I am desperate to know why? Thanks! P.S. how long is recovery and how soon could I do my firct cycle afterwards?
