22 Weeks!

Made it to 22 weeks today! MDM says I gotta make it 14 more weeks! I am going to be HUGE by then!! My belly is about the size of a 9 month singleton pregnancy. I am all belly and gained 40 pounds (aack!). They say 40-70 lbs is normal for a triplet pregnancy. Luckily shortness of breath, fatigue, and constant hunger (not a new symptom  for me) are my biggest issues! I hope I continue to be lucky.

The appointment with the specialist went well and the girls all weighed in at a pound each, my cervix is still long, and the cyst is gone! Yay!!

I have been making triplet connections through work, friends, and family. My aunt stalked (love you GES!) a mom with triplets in Babies R Us this past weekend and now we have talked on the phone and are meeting next Thursday at the SAAMOMs meeting. She made it to 35 weeks so I am hopeful.

I had 7 patients today which used to be a light day for me, but today it was brutal. One of my OTs nicely offered to see one of my kids for the last 30 minutes of his session so I laid on one of our big crash mats in the gym to watch the session and the next thing I knew I was waking up startled because the boy was right beside me and it was time to go! I must have been tired because the gym is a very loud place when 3 OT treatment sessions are going on.  To say the least, tomorrow I will be making some adjustments to my Wednesday schedule!
I will post a new belly picture tomorrow - didn't have time to take one today!
22 weeks
