Well again I am feeling rushed this morning but also feel that I should post some updates...Owen went off the oxygen by 5pm the day they were born and nobody has needed it since (YAY!!) On Monday morning we were moved to new wing of hospital and it is gorgeous. The boys have their own room in the Special Care Nursery that their auntie decorated with a Christmas tree. Monday night Owen and Preston were moved into cribs and Kellen got into his on Wednesday. They have all been doing very well holding their temperatures on their own. They are now working on feeding, alternating between bottle, breast and tube. They do pretty well and only need the tube when they are too tuckered out to suck. No word yet on when they will be ready to come home but the doc thinks they will end up coming home in birth order. We are very excited about our fantastic Christmas presents this year and can't wait to see what kind of chaos three one year olds will add to our Christmas celebrations next year!

Happy Birthday Owen, Preston, and Kellen!

The Triplets are here!
Owen Walter 8:09AM 4lbs14oz
Preston Jon 8:10AM 4lbs10oz
Kellen Adam 8:11AM 4lbs3oz

Owen is on a little bit of oxygen via hood, Preston and Kellen are both on room air.  Everyone is doing great.  Laura is smiling and joking around with family and nurses.  Adam is doing great as well!

Birthday!!!!

Well test results came back from Wednesday and some counts were high for my liver so doc said pre-eclampsia we are having the babies on Friday! So after a full day yesterday of fielding calls and texts from my fabulous family and friends here we are on D-day!!! It is a little after 4:30am and we will be leaving for hospital at around 5 (hopefully!) I of course didn't sleep well and am just waiting to hear that all my little guys are doing well... I have never had major surgery let alone surgery while being awake so that part is a bit daunting but we will make it through and we get the best prize ever at the end!!! My sister may be adding more as the day progresses letting everyone know about babies and weights and stuff. Thank you for prayers!!!

Still Pregnant....

34 weeks and 3 days and yes still pregnant and getting very uncomfortable!!!
Asked doc today if we could move up c-section a week and she said we can't, so I basically have to wait for pre-eclampsia or labor in order to deliver before 36 weeks...argh!!!
I believe earlier I said I wanted them to wait til after Christmas so that next year would be their first Christmas but with how uncomfortable I have been this last week I changed my mind and I would love to have some babies before Christmas....

Approximate weights for today are
Baby A- 4lbs 3oz
Baby B- 4 lbs 5 oz
Baby C- 3lbs 14oz

Have another appt. for BPP's on Friday so we will see how they they are doing then!!

34 weeks and 2 days

So I haven't posted in a while....you would think that I have tons of time to do so....oops...
So last week we had an appointment on Monday, all went well everyone passed their BPP's with 8 out of 8 again!! YaY babies!!! Baby B was intent on hiding from the ultrasound tech so that they couldn't get real precise measurements of him no matter which way mom turned! They estimate both baby A and B to be 3lbs 14 oz and baby C 3lbs 9 oz.
I was checked for the group B strep and Dr said I was 90% effaced but not dilated yet.
This last weekend we got 22 inches of snow and didn't get plowed out until late late late Sunday night! We were definitely thanking our lucky stars that babies did not decide to arrive because it would have been quite an adventure trying to get to the hospital. We did make a trip in to hospital on Monday night because I thought babies were not quite as active as usual. Of course when we got there babies were moving and jiving like crazy so maybe they just wanted to get out of the house!!! Adam said it is like when you take your car to a mechanic because it is making a noise and then it miraculously stops when you get to the mechanic.  Oh well, better to be safe than sorry! Nurses are all very excited about us having the trips there and hope that we make it to the 20th when the new rooms open. I will see what Dr says tomorrow at our appointment!!!

explanation of ticker on right side of blogs

If you are a counter of weeks and know that the due date comes at 40 weeks and have noticed on my ticker that it doesn't quite add up it is because it is counting how many weeks and days we are so far and then how many days until scheduled c-section which is 36 weeks and 2 days. Here is hoping we make it that long, but if we don't we are praying for short stays in hospital and three healthy babies!!! Only a week left and we are at 34 weeks which means we can stay in Eau Claire, so here is hoping for a fast and uneventful week ahead!!!

Another Dr. appt. done....

Well we had our 32 week(and 2 days) Dr. appointment yesterday. The babies all received 8 out of 8 on their BPP's again! YAY!!!! I unfortunately didn't get to see my regular dr because she was on call and had to perform an emergency C-section. So after waiting for over an hour I had the option to continue waiting or to see another doc. Well I was starving so I decided to see the other doc so I could get out sooner. Well she didn't impress me much at all!!! After commenting that I was 32 weeks so I only had 2 more months to go (I'm not planning on going 2 more months!!!) She decided that she would measure my belly and without telling me how many weeks I measured she asked me if I was having a "big baby" I told her I was having three and she was surprised and said it didn't say that in my file...well I would imagine that you would have to actually look at my file to see that I was having triplets!!!! ARGH!!! Well anyway she ordered an ultrasound for tomorrow to check for gallstones/kidney stones because of the pain I have been having by my right ribs. I kind of feel like this is  waste of time and money because I am sure the pain is from the babies moving around and I don't know what they would be able to do about it if I did have them at this point....anyways I guess that's just me venting....
