31 Weeks!

One more week down which is amazing but comes with a cost! Last night, I realized my ankles were gone, I can hardly role out of bed on my own and Aaron's largest t-shirts barely fit around my belly! However, I believe that my body temperature has cooled off a bit which I know Aaron appreciates. Poor thing - not only does he have to bundle up at night but I wonder what our power bill will be this month!



Shipley and Mitchell stopped by today and I finally got to meet Baby Luke. What a wonderful baby!!!! His little face is so sweet and he just curled right up to my chest and was absolutely content. I did have to think about what three will be like and how will I hold that many but I just chalk it up as "I'll make it work!" I couldn't get enough of Luke and on a day when I was feeling a little "over it," this tiny guy reminded me that if I can get this far, I can do anything. He was over 8lbs when he was born and is still teeny even over a week later. It is crucial for me to hang on as long as I can. I am focused on eating as much protein and calories that I can stand - even when there is no more room. I want these babies to grow a big as possible. It is so very important.



And Lois Henry (www.colormehappy.com) also stopped by and gave me the bedskirts that she made to complete the nursery. Thought I would share where the trio will be once we bring them home. Thanks Lois, Meghan and Ed (www.edhose.com). I couldn't be more happier with how it all turned out!!!









Well, tomorrow is the big move for me. If anyone needs to reach me, the cell will be your best bet. See everyone once the babies arrive!!!!

What a darling little baby Luke looks like. I'll bet his grandmother is sooo proud of him. Karen, you look great, too. The nursery is so elegant and pretty. Continue to eat and get those little ones ABAP! (As Big As Possible) By the way, that little nursery door sign is just precious, where EVER did you get that?.....Love, An impartial friend and grandmother who's thinking of you.

Glad you have gotten the move out of the way. We all feel better with you closer to the DR. and hospital.
