Great news for Miss Khloe Marie!!

Khloe is doing so awesome!! We found out last night that she no longer needs her heart monitor on her!! What a wonderful Christmas present. Although all night I kept checking on her when she was sleeping because we are so used to having the monitor. She also had a great Hip ultrasound yesterday. Hopefully in 2 weeks we can start weaning her off her hip harness. She loves it when it's bath time and we take it off..she just kicks away. The doctor says that's great because some babies do not move their legs when it comes off. GO KHLOE!! One more Khloe highlight..she got the first tooth!! We found it last Thursday!! Explains all her fussyness last week. She's so cute..she keeps rubbing her tounge over it like "what is this"? Cutie!!

Hunter & Emma are doing wonderful. Hunter rolls all over the place..no crawling yet, but I know it's coming soon. Emma likes to roll to her sides but not all the way over. She rolled over one time a few weeks ago, and I guess she didn't care for it. She's a drama queen that's for sure.

They all got their second round of RSV shots, which will help prevent them from getting the common cold over the next few months. The common cold to us, could really hurt our babies and put them in the hosptial. So we will get this shot once a month, for 4 more months. Anything to keep them Healthy and safe. At their doctor's appointment they weighed the following:
Hunter: 17.2 lbs.
Emma: 14.9 lbs.
Khloe: 11.7 lbs.
Getting big fast!! :)

Tomorrow Matt and I are taking them to see my doctor who made this all possible and gave us our Miracles. We are also going to the NICU for a visit. :)

LONG Time without posting..starting new!

Okay so we have been pretty busy and I have not kept a blog. No worries though, we have been keeping up with milestone movements in the baby book!!

Guess I should start fresh! The babies were born on April 20, 2010. Hunter Matthew weighing 2.13oz, Emma Marie weighing 2.2lbs, and Khloe Marie weighing 1.11oz. I was put in the hosptial on a Friday before they were born due to cramping and heavy bleeding. They had me on steriods to prevent labor and pain medicine all weekend. On Monday we thought they may stay in me another week or so. Dr. Levin was wonderful and did everything she could to keep the babies from coming. However, on Tuesday morning little Khloe thought it was time to make her appearance and she broke my cerclage..and all of a sudden I'm in Labor. OUCH!!!! LOTS OF PAIN. Very scary!! Matt & I were so afraid because it was way too early. We knew we were in Good Hands though and just had to Trust God and pray. Out they came. Beautiful babies!! They were rushed to the NICU, with lots of worries on Khloe. She was so tiny and had a big fight. However, she faught so hard. Everyone reading this blog knows pretty much what we went through at the beginning of Khloe's life. She was life flighted on Day 3to the Med Center, Childrens Memorial..and faught so hard there. Her lungs were failing. After we baptised her, she was a true fighter!! She spent 3 weeks at that hospital. It was hard going back and forth from Hospital to hospital but you do what you have to do to see your babies!!

Emma & Hunter had small premie issues but nothing major. Hunter always forgot to breathe..well that is major!! But it was a male thing with premies. We spent every day with our babies. Tomica and the nurses there became family to us. They were wonderful and taught us how to care for our babies!! The NICU was hard but we were in good company. The nurses always made us laugh and we felt at home there. Hunter was always making everyone laugh. Emma was very calm there..and Khloe..well her NICU nickname is WILDCAT if that tells you anything!! :)

So Emma came home 78 days later, on June 15th. Oh my was I scared and watched her sleep all night as I slept on the Nursery floor!! What a beautiful little girl!!
Emma and I would pack up and go see Hunter & Khloe most days! :)

Hunter came home on June 25..he was a trip. He came home on a heart monitor. I actually liked it b/c I knew he was okay. It was our Safety blanket. So now we would all take trips up to the hosptial to see Miss Khloe. I knew she was in good hands with Tomica and the nurses, Matt would go daily up there..but I made it up there about 3 or 4 times a week with the babies.

Our family was complete at home on July 20, exactly 3 months to the day and Khloe came home!! She was only 4.10 oz.!! We were SO HAPPY!!!! All the work ahead didn't matter when you have all the babies home safely finally!! It was sad leaving the Nicu family..tears were shed..but I knew we would see them often. Khloe came home on a heart monitor and Oxygen. The oxygen was what worried me..making sure I had NO candles lit in the home, etc. But we got use to it.

So my next post will go into our awesome journey of having our babies home and all the fun we are having watching them grow. What true miracles God has blessed us with!!

Week 25 starts tomorrow!! Yeah!!

I have not posted in awhile!! I'm kinda a private person, and when I found out that I had a lot of people viewing our blog that I didn't know..or barely know, it felt weird. But now I realize that so many people care about us and our babies and just want to know how the babies are doing. Matt says our babies are famous..haha!! Not many people can say they are pregnant with triplets....and boy do I feel like I have triplets inside of me!! They are moving around and kicking me so much!! Baby B..the boy, is WILD!! He wakes me up in the middle of the night twisting and turning. I love it though, because then I know they are okay and getting big!!

Our week 24 ultrasound (huge mildstone) was last wednesday and it went great!! My mom and Matt's mom both went and got to see their grandbabies!! We were happy to hear that I didn't need to go to Hermann for hospital bedrest!! The babies are growing great. Baby B is 1 lb. 10oz (average), Baby C is 1 lb. 5 oz. (still average) and Baby A is 15 oz. It's so tiny and we watch her closely. She/he is staying strong. Still has low fluid in the placenta, but at least she/he has some and has grown. That ultrasound took 2.5 hours. I felt horrible the entire time, (passed out in the waiting room) ultrasounds are getting harder and harder!! We go to the doctor for my exam and to the high risk UT doctor for an ultrasound every wednesday!! Tomorrow we are 25 weeks!! Yeah!! We need to make it 5 more weeks. The average triplet pregnancy is 32 weeks! So I have been living in my bed and only getting up to go to the bathroom..whatever it takes to get the babies here safe.
Thank you God for getting us this far, and for our miracle babies!!!! :)

22 week belly -- looks so much bigger in person!! This camera is awesome!! HAHA!! I need to measure my belly, but I'm scared, it's better not knowing.

Happy Anniversary to us, 8 years!!

Wow, 8 years ago today we got married!! Yeah!!!! God has blessed us in so many ways, with 3 more beautiful blessings on the way!! We can't wait to start the next chapter in our life together!! I wish we could go out and celebrate, but we will once the babies are here. We have so much to celebrate already!!

22 weeks (and 4 days) doctors appointment went great yesterday!! All the babies have strong heartbeats, and Baby A is doing good, she had a little more fluid in her placenta, so that was good news. She's staying strong!! My exam went good to. And now of course today I am bleeding so much, so I'm worried. I'm pretty sure it's just the placenta previa, but I did call the doctor.

Next week is our big UT ultrasound, it will determine a lot of things that we have been concerned about, so the countdown begins for that appointment!!
Here is my 22 week belly!! Matt agrees that I am much bigger in person. Aww so sweet!! But so true!!

21 week appointment

I had my 21 week appointment yesterday and the babies and I are doing good. All 3 have strong heartbeats. Baby A is staying strong, even though she's so smooched in there. Baby B is 15 ounces, as of last wednesday at the high risk ultrasound. Almost a pound!! Baby C is 12 ounces, and Baby A is 10 oz. Baby B needs to share his food with the girls!!!! I was in the hospital last week because the doctor thought I may have an infection, so I was on IV antibiotics for 3 days. Everything is fine, and I'm on medicine at home now. I do miss the nurses at the hospital, they are great there. I had the same ones from when I was there at week 16. Bedrest is beyond super strict. I'm thankful for Matt, my Mom and our families for helping us SO much!!Please God keep the babies healthy and safe in me for another 6 weeks!! ~Grow Babies Grow~

24 more hours till my doctors appoinment!!!!

I look forward to my doctor's appointments for two main reasons. First, I get to see the babies on the ultrasound and calm my worries. Second, I get out of the house and get to see the outside world!! It's our 20 week mark, yeah!!!! I'm nervous about tomorrow's appointment because I had a lot of bleeding yesterday, and then my side cramping last week. But like my friend told me, it's all in God's hands, and I'm doing everything right!! Just praying hard that our special babies are okay, healthy, and growing. This is a true miracle for Matt and I, and we are so excited and feel so blessed about our future family of 7!! (gotta include my furry babies, Cody and Duke)
Please God let tomorrow go great, and let Wednesday's high risk ulrasound go great!!
