11 Weeks!

This week not much has changed since my 10 Week post, since ahem, that was only a few days ago.


I think in the last few days I am really starting to eat a lot more. I seem to always be putting something in my mouth and I feel like my skin on my stomach is stretching to the max (the way you feel after Thanksgiving dinner).

How Far Along: 11 Weeks



How Big are the Babies: They are each the size of limes (1.6 inches). Your babies are currently at a 1:1 ratio between their bodies and heads, and they have skin so transparent that blood vessels show right through it. But fingers and toes are no longer webbed, and hair follicles, tooth buds, and nail beds are forming -- setting up a significantly more attractive future.(thebump.com).


Weight Gain: According to the doctor's scale I am 126.5 so only 1.5 lbs gained so far.


Symptoms: Nausea (a little), thirsty, CONSTIPATION, peeing a lot, headaches, hunger and a WHOLE LOT OF FORGETTING!!!!!!!


Emotions: Considering I had a panic attack during the sonogram on Monday, I am really starting to let the fact that there are three human beings in my belly sink into my brain. I am down-right scared, to be honest. I pray that God will give me the strength and the wisdom to handle this journey, and I have confidence that He will, but I am still scared.


Something Funny That Happened: Can't think of anything.
Best moment of the Week: Seeing the babies floating around inside of me, their little feet and arms just flying about...it was amazing but so real at the same time, hence the reason for the panic attack. 

Also, the sweet women that I am building bonds with already who have triplets, they are so full of great advice and knowledge. I feel so comforted by just talking to them and hearing all the good advice that are giving me. I would have never known some of the things unless I would have reached out!


Movement: None...just constant stretching, cramping and pulling sensations. VERY crampy.


Maternity Clothes: Yes, yes, and yes.


Stretchmarks: None yet! :)


Sleep: Back and forth. Some nights are good, some aren't. And the dreams are so crazy! Up peeing every hour which makes sleeping a little tough.


Food cravings: Hmm, I don't think I had any this week other than, of course, PICKLES!


Gender Predictions: I know it's going to be two girls and a boy. Tim still says "all boys"... but if it's all boys, I think I will cry. I need a little girl!! (I keep talking to women who have triplet girls, I don't know if God is trying to tell me something or what, but having the babies be all of one sex, scares me too.)


What I Miss: Nothing.


What I'm Looking Forward To: Seeing how much the babies grow each week and eating whatever I want whenever I want! :)

Weekly Wisdom: DO NOT wait until the end of your pregnancy to do things, ya never know when things will happen. We were told to have everything done by week 25! That's crazy, but very true when carrying multiples.


Milestone: Every week that goes by, pregnant with triplets, is a milestone!!


Question(s): None...this week.
