Almost 35 weeks!

Today marks 34 weeks and 5 days of pregnancy and only 2 more days to get to our goal of 35 weeks! My appointment went well today but starting on Monday, I will be going to the doctor twice a week. The babies had their growth check today and they didn't gain the weight we were hoping for. Kiera put on the most with only a couple ounces and Liam and Alaina really didn't gain any weight. However their growth looked good. Kiera didn't grow as much as my doctor would have like to see which is one reason why I'll be going on Monday's and Thursday's. I guess I put on the weight they should have! To date I've gained a total of 48 pounds. Not bad at all! Last week my stomach measured 43 weeks.

Evert visit my doctor asks how things are going. Today I told him I think I'm pretty much done. He chuckled and said he was wondering when I was going to say that. I've had some good days lately but it's trying to roll over in bed and the insomnia that is getting to me. Activities have diminished considerably so much of my day is off my feet to help prevent my ankles from swelling.

I do want to express my thanks to my friends that have paid visits and have taken time out of their busy schedules to call and check in. It's so nice to hear your voices and I truly appreciate you calling. THANK YOU!

Michael and I are getting more excited every day to know the day our babies arrival is just around the corner. We are sure it will be here before we are ready but nonetheless, are truly looking forward to it. We can't wait for the babies to meet all the wonderful people in our lives!

Stay tuned for any new updates and pictures once the babies are born. This blog is how we will keep everyone posted with what's going on.

Take care!

Hi Deanna, I've been wondering how you're doing and checked out your blog yesterday. I'm glad to see that you're doing well. Hang in there! You won't be pregnant forever :) I had the stuffy-nose issue when I was pregnant with Erick. It was definitely very annoying. Once you have the babies you should be fine :) Best Wishes! - Tanya

I'm so happy you have reached your milestone - almost. I remember the days of frequent doc visits (went 2-3 times a week with Jack from 32 weeks on). Sooner than you can blink you'll have three babies here filling your time. Enjoy the downtime for a bit longer. ;-) Can't wait to "meet" these babies!

0It is great to hear that you and babies are healthy! CHildren are truly a blessing and before you know it, you will have your bundles of joy! Believe it or not, you will probably miss being pregnant once the babes arrive! Enjoy every minute of it and be sure to rest up now. One baby is difficult enough, I cannot imagine 3! Best wishes to you, Mike and your families on your soon-to-arrive miracles. Take care and thanks for keeping us all up-to-date!
