19 weeks down... Maybe 15 to Go (HoPeFuLlY!!)

As of yesterday, I am 19 weeks into this pregnancy... It feels more like 30!!  I am trying so hard not to complain to poor Trey, but I am so uncomfortable!!  I have no energy, I'm constantly somewhere between starving and nauseous, and there is no comfortable way to sleep, sit, etc!!!  Oh, and if I do anything quickly I get dizzy - FUN TIMES!!!  OK, OK, OK... enough complaining - I am incredibly blessed to be expecting three more miracles and if a little discomfort is what it takes to complete my family, then so be it.

That all being said, some exciting things are going on.... I have felt all 3 babies move now.  Baby A is definitely the most active and the one I felt first.  But last night I think that Babies B & C were having their first fight  - or they were having a great time playing together!!  I know that I have not posted sonograms, that would require me to go upstairs and scan them - but, I can tell you, basically, where the babies are.... Baby A is vertical on my right side (this one has the most room which may be why I can feel so much), poor Baby B is squished on the bottom of my left side, laying horizontal, and Baby C is the one doing the squishing, also horizontal.

We will also be able to tell everyone the genders this Thursday!!  I am having my weekly sonogram to tell us genders, and also to do an echocardiogram on each baby.  I am a little nervous about the latter.  I am not really sure what this all involves, other than a 2 hour appointment, and a completely new doctor.  I know the general idea is that they will be looking very closely at each baby's heart, looking for any problems.  I am staying positive in the fact that so far everything is going better than planned.  God has taken care of these babies and me and will not give us any more than we can handle.

We have also been working on getting Bryan's new room ready for him.  Trey and his step dad, Ray, worked really hard on Saturday to get all of the painting done.  Then, yesterday, Trey got the chair rail put up.  We have gotten furniture in, now it's my turn to accessorize!!  I can't believe that Bryan is almost ready to move out of his crib.  I am excited, though, that he will be sleeping in Trey's old bunk beds.  He has been playing on the bottom bunk and having a ball!  Here is one picture of the beginnings of his room:

Bryan continues to be the light of my life, and I will end with my favorite memory from today....  I have been talking to Bryan about babies, and patting my stomach telling him that there are 3 babies.  He has been saying babies, but I know that he doesn't really "get it".  Today, though, we were playing on the couch, when out of nowhere, he looks at me, pats his tummy and says "Babies, Mama."  So sweet!!  I love him more than I ever knew possible!

All I can say is.... My cup runneth over!
