16 weeks down....

I was trying to think of a way to keep track of this crazy pregnancy, along with Bryan's milestones, and I figure using my blog may just be it!

A lot has happened in the past 16 weeks. I have had more doctors appointments than I had the entire time I was pregnant with Bryan - well pretty close, anyway! I have definitely had more sonograms!! 4 to be exact, but that number is going to rise quickly, as I am now having to go to the multiples specialist EVERY WEEK. I will post the sonogram pictures soon - I need to get them uploaded. I went to the doctor yesterday for a growth sonogram - to check and make sure all of the babies are thriving. It was pretty amazing!! I got to see 3 little baby brains, 6 kidneys, 6 arms, 6 legs, and 12 heart chambers. It is still unbelievable to me that I was able to see so much when these 3 babies only weigh 6 ounces each. They are all measuring at 16 weeks 3 days, which is exactly how far along I am. With all of the chaos that has surrounded me lately, I found an incredible amount of calmness in looking at each of the 3 babies in such great detail. We will soon be able to tell the genders, then the fun really begins - naming them!

Along with the excitement of preparing for triplets, I have the most amazing job of keeping up with 16 month old Bryan. He is like the Energizer Bunny and never stops!! He really couldn't care less that I am growing his siblings, he wants to play with Mommy, be held by Mommy, be right with Mommy every minute that he can and I LOVE IT!! He is wearing me down, but at the end of the day I wouldn't change any of it. I am so incredibly blessed to have him. He is my first little miracle and I am cherishing every minute that he wants to be with me - I know it won't last forever!!

OK, that's enough of the sentimental mommy! We have had an amazing Christmas and Bryan has been so fun to watch this year. Here are some pictures of all of the festivities...
