Update!

No, E is not here yet. And no, I haven't gone into labor yet. 

We went to the OB today and I am 70% effaced, 2 cm dilated, -2 stage and have a very soft cervix. Her head is about the length of a tuna can away from the doctors hand, which is improved from a soda can's length. He still said it could be any day, or all the way until the 31st. E has been given an eviction notice, but apparently she already has selected hearing. I'll be 39 Weeks tomorrow and she is measuring at 8lbs 3oz....YEAH, the perinatalogist said on Thursday, "this girl will be big!" Tim and I cannot fathom a "normal" size baby! We are so excited to meet her!

I went into severe pain on Wednesday afternoon due to a tooth that has been bothering me since before I was pregnant with E that I was putting off until after E was born since I knew I needed a root canal. Finally, the pain became completely unbearable and even with two Vicodin around the clock, I could not focus on anything. It literally was the worse pain I have ever experienced, right along with the first time I got up after my c-section and when my embryos were splitting and attaching. Thank goodness for my wonderful husband who can take care of three kids alone because all I could do was rock back and forth, cry and pray. We called the dentist, the on-call OB...to make sure what I was doing was okay and what could be done, and of course nothing could be done until the morning. So, Thursday morning I had an emergency root canal, which lasted a total of 6 minutes and was done. I was never so happy to go to the dentist. The 24 hours prior were pure and utter hell. After the Novocaine wore off, I was a new person! 

And you would think the stress would make E come....even the dentist said that the Vicodin could make me go into labor...yeahh...NOPE!

And with packing boxes, making a billion phone calls and getting everything ready to move, you think that would make her come...yeahh...NOPE!

Today I finally got my license fixed and am officially a Gaydos, even after 3 years of being in the family.

Also, we get the keys to our new house TONIGHT!

We're cleaning and painting some tomorrow, if it doesn't snow/sleet/ice too much tonight and we can still get there safely tomorrow morning.

Oh, and a bunch of you asked about what we were doing with the girl's rooms, if we were splitting them up or not. This is what we have decided...We are going to keep the triplets together, with just their cribs in one room. I have thought about it a hundred times and I feel like I can't just split them up. They only know each other, they are a pack, even as individuals, they are still together "a 3", and who am I to make them split up maybe in a way they don't want to be split up, especially when they are sleeping through the night so well. When they can verbally say who they want to share a room with then I will let them do that, but until then, I am not making the decision for them. I plan on just putting the cribs and the humidifier, sound machine, lullaby machine in there and that's it. The other room will have the changing table, toys and everything else, along with E's crib when she gets big enough to be in her own room.

So there's an update for now. I will post some more this weekend if I find some time between packing boxes and praying that I will go into LABOR!!!!!

Going to wake the girls up from nap and go pick up our keys and paint....!!!! EKKK!

Have a good weekend, ya'll!

  1. That makes total sense about the girls rooms. I could totally see them flop flopping later in life all taking turns being with each other or maybe they will pict and stick with it who knows. :) I have no idea what it's like to have sisters, much less 3 of them.

  3. God Bless you! You have so much going on these days, with the girls, a new baby very shortly, and a new house, which by the way is beautiful! You are such a sweetheart, to just take everything in stride, and continue to stay upbeat and happy. Looking forward to seeing pictures of Little Miss E very soon, and the rest of the house all set up. The room idea for the girls makes total sense, especially with another little one coming into their world.

  4. I think being a triplet would be awesome, including the room sharing! They'll let you know as soon as they feel otherwise, I am sure :)
