Ok, everybody ALWAYS says, "You sure don't look like you are having triplets! You look great". Let me just tell you guys that I don't believe you when you say that. Did my husband and parents tell you to tell me that to make me feel better? I think you all are just saying it to be nice because I feel as big as a house and my poor skin is stretching at such a fast rate it literally BURNS. My stretch marks went from like 6 to over 20 in the last few weeks. I guess I was naive to think I was going to get away with none this pregnancy since I never had them with Emily. Ha Ha.
Nesting has officially set in and it stinks this pregnancy because I don't have the energy or the mobility that I had with Emily. So I am over doing it as usual. I can't help it. If any of you mommies have ever gone through this nesting phase, it is this uncontrollable urge to want everything orderly and ready. Sad thing is... it is impossible to keep anything orderly when you have a two year old! Oh well, I guess I better get use to it, huh? The nursery still isn't ready but we did end up getting two cribs from a fellow triplet mommy yesterday (we decided against the Ikea cribs). The color matches perfectly with what we already have and we saved so much money this way by buying used. We got one of those cribs put together late last night so we just have to put one more together! Then we have the task of trying to figure out how the heck to get this all to fit in one room. :) Hopefully it all will come together before the trio's arrival. I guess that is all for now. I will update after my appointment on Wednesday.

WOW you are popping Momma!!!!! It really is starting to look painful, I say that in the nicest way possible lol...You do look awesome though totally ALL BELLY not that you have any control in that haha..I am sure those stinkers are eating up every bit of food you put in your mouth...
Well the good thing is those cuties will be small enough for the first month or so to fit in one crib so you can probably get away with not putting them all up right away. But I know how it is to nest and want things ready to go. Just take care of yourself and get tons of rest...4 more weeks!!!!!
I won't even comment on the 2yr old messes..Shay is worse in one hour then the A's are all day lol....
Take care girlie....
You look AMAZING! I am so jealous that you are in the home stretch (no pun intended) and that your wonderful babies will be here soon, healthy and big!
I hate not being able to do things, too. I am literally not allowed to even carry anything, let alone go up and down stairs to do any nesting. I guess I have to virtually nest. :)
HUGS!!
You look AMAZING!!! Serioualy, there are mamas carrying singletons who are bigger than you! But ITA with Amanda, they can share a crib initially. I nannied for a family with newborn twins a long time ago and they had the twins in the same crib (with sleep positioners) for quite a while - I want to say maybe 6 months, but it may not have been that long. So, you can probably get away with not setting everything up initially!
