I am currently scheduled for a C-section at 36w1d! Which is 3/21/11! I immediately fell in love with the date because it is the first day of SPRING!! And... the 3-2-1 part is catchy =) Now, I'm even more in love with the date because I found out it was my great-grandfather Isaac's birthday (HE WAS A TRIPLET)!!! Long story short: He was born 3/21/1912 (99 years ago! = multiple of 3. haha.) in England and was the first set born there in over a 100 years; the story goes that the King of England wanted to meet them and give them a gift, but the family declined the offer (to good of a gesture to be true....)! Crazy, huh!?!
So, please keep your fingers crossed these babies stay in!!! I am not dilated at all, my blood pressure is good, and I'm still not on any "strict" bed rest!
PS: One name is 99% decided... one of the girls may be named Casey! Only issue is: that was our family dog's name for a long time (husky that lived for almost 16 years. amazing pet.... i hope my family is okay with this decision!!) -I love the name, I don't intend on it being "our child named after a dog".
Also, the basement is almost complete!!! the kitchen just needs the countertops delivered (we need to have someone measure for granite)
Well, I have another growth/anatomy ultrasound next friday too! So, hopefully ill have another update on weights!! I'm hoping they're all near 4 lbs!
Thank u for reading =)
sam, the story about your grandpa and the birthdays is ridiculously awesome. love reading your blog and keeping track of you and the babies. i am so excited for you! still can't believe you're about to me a mother of FOUR! seems like just yesterday i was the aide in your class! say hi to adam and adrienne for me :)
ReplyDeleteHey Sam! It's Danielle Ebert! I'm so happy that the babies are still baking and healthy! I too am AMAZED by the story with your Grandfather! I believe that things happen for a reason and it seems like your family history is repeating itself!! What was his name? ( Maybe that could be a first/middle name for your son ;)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I felt sad when I read a post that stated you felt alone because you don't have any friends with kids. WELCOME TO MY WORLD! lol Actually I have two friends with kids and your one, but I never see anyone. If people really are your friend, they will accept your chaos and just deal with it. But people without kids just don't get it though. Also about your family not being as involved as you hoped/like, that is a really sad situation. Family should be there and be supportive since this is a tie when you need it most.
I'm not going to lie to you and tell you that life with more than one child is soooo much fun and blah, blah blah, granted I would NEVER change having two kids, but I didn't expect this much stress. It's going to be tough on you and adam, emotionally and physically and you are going to have times where you just break down. The BEST advice I can give you is this : Just take life slow,fully and completely enjoy each day and live one day at a time.
It's not the best but it's what I tell myself. As each day begins, I realize that it's a completely new day and just getting through that day and making it a good one is all that matters. Your purpose in life is to love these children and teach them what life is about. I want to tell you to not worry about gaining weight or having breakouts, ect. but I know your going to, we ALL do! lol ( I still do!) But when your feeling really crappy and low, just remember that your children think you are the most BEAUTIFUL creature in the world and they love you no matter if your wearing stiletto's or sweats! lmao Keep posting about these babies and don't forget to post when they are born. I am STOKED to come and see them!! ( my little baby is growing up so much and I miss the newborn stage already!)
p.s., don't worry about Adam's weirdness about having more kids, it really is a guy thing. He is s probably scared and nervous, which I'm sure you are a bit too. He will come around after you both get into a routine and become more comfortable. Don't forget that men DO NOT have the instincts like us women do, so if you need his help, just ask. ( I have learned this lesson recently myself! lol) Anyways, Im keeping you in my thoughts and wishing you the best during your C-section! Much Love!
omgoodness this is all so amazing!!!!!!!!! I am so excited for you and can't wait to see pictures of those babies!!!! Good luck with everything girl! You are doing great!!
