The final countdown

Am I really 30 weeks and 3 days?  Could I really have these babies any day now?  YES!

Of course there's a Facebook group for everything.  I'm part of a private group called 2014 triplets.  The ladies on here are AMAZING.  It's so nice to be able to relate to someone who's going through the exact same situation.

As you can guess there are some scary things I see and learn on here too.  Women losing one or all of the babies.  Women going into labor at 24 weeks.  Women having contractions since 18 weeks.  Women on hospital bed rest or home bed rest.  I try SO HARD to not let these posts effect me though.  I gotta stay positive.  This is my journey and it's not going to be the same as anyone else's.  I'm blessed that I'm still working.  I'm blessed that I'm not having any contractions.  I'm blessed with a wonderful supportive husband who helps me everyday.  And I'm blessed that these are my first kids and I'm not having to take care of other little ones while pregnant with triplets.  To those women who have children at home to take care of on top of this... KUDOS TO YOU!!!!!!  I don't know how you do it!

So here's the final countdown.  My doctor won't let me go past 36 weeks.  That's only 41 days away!   Here's the scary news - most triplets only go till 32 weeks.  So now, more than ever, I'm taking it easy!!!  I've officially cut my hours at work (mostly because I have 3 dr appointments a week from here on out).   But I'm now only working 6 hour days with time to put my feet up every afternoon.

Fingers crossed and saying prayers for an uneventful 41 days!
