TRIPLETS AT 20 MONTHS

I OFFICIALLY CAN'T SEE MY FEET IN THE SHOWER BECAUSE MY BELLY'S TOO BIG!!!

Two weeks have passed and we were back at Abington hospital this morning for another ultrasound. I don't know what is more stressful for Ali....having to fight rush hour traffic in the am only to get to the doctors late every time.............the fear of each ultrasound not going smoothly and hearing bad news,..... or the unbelieveable pain that she feels from the 20 gallons of water she has to drink before and isn't allowed to use the restroom. It is some sick kind of tourture that these doctors seem to put her through. Anyways......what I'm sure most of you want to know is HOW ARE THE BABIES???? We were blessed with another ultrasound that showed nothing but good signs of growth and strong heartbeats. So here it goes.....
A
Heartbeat: 150 BPM
Weight: 8 ounces

"A" was way more active today.  He/She pretty much is slammed at the bottom.  "C" practically sits on A's head.  Poor kid.
B
Heartbeat: 156 BPM
Weight: 9 ounces

"B" is a poser.  You can see his/her little hand up underneath the chin. I'm sure he/she will be a ham.  Everytime B gives us the best pictures.  He/she doesn't get that from Ali. 
Today "B" was even showing off his guns.  Look at that bicep.  Must take after his Uncle Jason.  :)

C
Heartbeat: 150 BPM
Weight: 8 ounces

"C" has the least amount of room.  The poor thing is slammed between A and B.  It had it's legs stretched out though and let me tell you..........we have a future soccer player on our hands.  It had the perfect amount of bow-legged and muscle tone.  "C" didn't get chicken legs from his PAP.  ;)

All jokes aside, the three still look like they are growing at a normal and average rate.  It's so nice to hear good news after good news.  We both get so nervous for each ultrasound and pray that the good news keeps coming.  On our way out of the hospital this am, we saw three boys who were triplets running around like crazy.  It made us realize that it doesn't matter what we have, as long as they are healthy and strong.
Keep your prayers and well wishes coming.
Love you all!
