omgwearehavingtriplets

I just want to thank everyone for coming to my shower!  It was absolutely perfect,  I wouldn’t haven’t changed a thing.  You are all such wonderful and beautiful friends.  I love you all so very, very much.  So thank you for making it such a special day for me.  Also, thank you for ALL the incredible and adorable presents.  These babies are already loved SO much…….

Today I am wondering if my stomach will indeed hang down to my knees after I give birth to these beautiful 3 children.  I personally do not know anyone who has had triplets.  I have spoken via email, but never personally met anyone.  I do know however, that anyone I have met or spoken to about your aftermath body says that they had to have a tummy tuck.  So the big question for me is, “is there anyone out there who has had triplets and then got their nice tight tummy back”???  I would love to hear from someone who has fallen into this category.  Otherwise I might as well start singing, does your stomach hang low does it wobble to and fro, can you tie it in a knot, can you tie it in a bow, can you swing it over your shoulder like a continental soldier, does your stomach hang low??…..Anyone please give me some hope…..

Well, it has begun.  The stretching, pulling and cramping.  Wow, does this hurt and feel uncomfortable.  I knew this whole time that I would be growing 3 times as fast as a singlton.  However, no one can ever really prepare you for what it is going to feel like.  I don’t want to complain because I have really had it quite easy so far.  No morning sickness, and other than having days when I am SO tired I can hardly move, it has been a breeze.  The last 3 days have really been giving me a challenge though.  By the end of the day my stomach muscles are so worn out and tired, that they just start to give.  As a result, my stomach muscles start to spasm.  It feels like a leg cramp, but in my stomach.  It stops if I lay down,  or relax.  It is really bizarre.  However, I found a back belt in my husbands drawer of goodies.  This seems to be doing the trick for now.  He did laugh at me very hard the other day, he thought I was wearing his weight belt.  Nice, thanks baby…….
