I never ever believed that I would make it to 35 weeks in this pregnancy and with each and every hour that passes I wonder how it is physically possible to even make it another minute. The body is not meant for this but my body is being a soldier (my body, not me!). Thursday is the big day and I would love to say that it is approaching fast but for me but it is not. I have a feeling time will start to speed up on Wednesday. Of course I am tearing up often every time I look at Emily. Man, I am emotional (Thanks Huff side of the family!). I just wish I could give her myself for just one more day before Thursday.... my normal physical self, before her world is turned upside down. The words that my Aunt Net and Aunt Lynnie said in a comment months ago has helped a lot and when I start to cry I think of what they said..... They said that I am giving Emily such a great gift by giving her siblings. I keep trying to focus on that. :) One more thing that I have been meaning to post is a poem that was framed and given to me. My mom's wonderful friends from school gave her a Nana Shower and the hostess, Jana Hickey, found a cute poem online and tweaked it a little. I just love it and had to share it!
The Triplets' Big Sister
She loves those triplets an awful lot
And helps them when she can.
But triple trouble came her way
The day their lives began.
She needs an army just to guard
The things she most enjoys.
And plugs to cover both her ears
From all the extra noise.
Sometimes they like to hug her neck
And then she knows she's blessed.
A little momma to them all
She is the very best.

AMAZING! I cannot believe you are here- what a gift you've given those babies to carry them this long. Way to go!!
I am thinking of you every day, knowing my minor discomforts are nothing compared to how you must be feeling. I hope you are enjoying the last days of kicks inside you... I can't wait to hear about the wonderful birth.
Big hugs!!!
(((HUGS))) Everything will fall into place and Emily will feel the love from not only her parents but from her siblings too.

Can't believe little Lynnie,Mikey and Lori will be here on Thursday. You have done the almost impossible Christy. You should be so proud of yourself and your super cervix!!!!!! I really can't believe it's almost time. You can see the finish line!!!! Em is going to be so excited....she probably really doesn't believe there are really babies.Imagine her sweet little face when she sees them!!!!! Anyway, I love you and am so proud of you.

Christy, I have been thinking about you and praying for you so much lately. I am SO proud of you for making it this far!!! You have already done such an incredibly selfless thing - they (all 4 of your beautiful kiddos) are so blessed to call you their mama.
Praying for a quick week and cannot wait to see pics!

Christy you have done such a great job carrying these babies!!! Mammy and Grandman are probably giggling with delight, and so proud of you too. Thank you so much for sharing this journey with us. This has been such a special time (easy for me to say, right!) and it has meant so much to me to go through it with you, so to speak! Can't wait to get the news that you are doing good and those 3 little sweethearts are here. Excited to hear the names also! Wish I could be there, but I know you will be a little busy! Plan to see you on Friday! And of course 3 very special little family members! I love you so much Chris!
Lori
So excited for you and Ben and Emily! You will do great tomorrow, as you already have for 35 weeks! I can't wait to see the pictures and hear the names and meet the little ones!
Let me know when you are ready for some extra helping hands!

Christy,
I have so enjoyed following your blog over the last couple of months. Sounds like you are an incredible little incubator! Good luck tomorrow... I know you'll do great. Please send pics soon!

Christy,
I will be thinking about you tomorrow. You made it! I know everything will be perfect, and I will be anxiously awaiting the news on the arrivals. We are all very proud of you (and Ben and Emily) as we know this has not been an easy journey, but believe me... it will be worth it when you finally get to see and hold the new little ones. Jerri
Christy - a little more than 8 hrs to go- I have had you in my heart and prayers all day! I know you must be anxious! You have ALOT of people praying for you and ALOT of angels in heaven watching over you. Just finishing a Big Sista blanket for Emmie. Love you much! xxoo A. Jill
Congratulations Christy! I can't believe they are here! I will keep you all in my prayers as you continue to recover and hopefully you can come home soon! - Mindy
That poem is absolutely adorable!! So much congrats on making it this far, it's amazing! I know it sounds crazy, but try very VERY hard to keep them all on the same schedule, eating, sleeping, changing...it's alot less chaotic that way. You'll almost definatly be bringing them all home together. I wish you the best of luck, and your little girl will be great, she has a mom like you who cares about her so much ;O)
