16 weeks

Well I have officially started to swell up like a balloon:) My ankles are so swollen and my gigantic size 10 shoe no longer fits. And my maternity clothes are no longer fitting either...I can't seem to keep up with this fast growing belly. Yesterday, I had my first cervix check and everything looks great and they say I am starting out with an extra long cervix which is a good thing. Now, I will have weekly appointments to monitor this to be sure its not shortening. To my surprise I also got to see the babies. They have grown so much in the past 3 weeks. They actually look like babies now and not aliens and I am afraid to report that they may have the Hopperton's head...their heads are huge..good thing I am having a c-section!! The ultrasound tech also took a guess on the gender. We first checked out Baby A and there were 3 little lines so we are pretty sure that is a girl. Baby B wasn't cooperating all that much but the tech said if she had to guess she would say a girl. So I started getting a little nervous....3 girls...oh no:) Then we looked at Baby C and there it was plain as day...showing off his stuff...its a boy for sure! So we are thinking 2 girls and a boy. I have another hour and half ultrasound next Thursday that will be looking at the anatomy and the development of the babies. I have become so spoiled seeing them so regularly. We are so very BLESSED!

We went to the doctor yesterday and all 3 babies are doing great. Brad was a little freaked out by the whole thing but once the babies started moving around and we seen all the little fingers and toes all of those feelings just disappeared. Baby A was kicking Baby B as you can see in one of the pictures where A's legs is all stretched out and you can kinda of see the other sac. Then Baby C didn't want to look at us and had its back to us the whole time so they pushed on my stomach and finally C turned around and gave as a big yawn and then started pushing and streching its very long legs out. There heartrates are as follows: Baby A 154, Baby B 160 and Baby C 167. Baby A is located on my lower right, Baby B on my lower left and Baby C is up near my belly button on the right. I am measuring 20 weeks (for a singe baby) which is normal but WOW and I have gained 26 pounds! I felt the babies move for the first time today after we ate come ice cream...guess they liked it:) I think I have felt it before but didn't know what I was feeling.

I will have to have my cervix checked once a week starting at 16 weeks so each week we will get to see the babies. At 22 weeks my activites have to be decreased and I have to rest at least 6 hours a day and sleep 10 hours...that will be a challenge for me but I will do it for the health of the babies. My next big ultrasound is on Aug 6th when they will check all the anatomy and development of the babies as well as determining the sex. We are very excited to see what's cooking in there.
