An afternoon with friends

Wednesday was the highlight of my week! I got two spend the afternoon with two good friends! I drove down to Hoboken for a long walk & dog park time with Beth and her golden retriever, Duncan - also known as Big D because he can take you out! It was nice to sit on the Hudson & take in NYC views with my college roommate! Then I drove down the street a few blocks and met Chrissy for sushi/fish dinner. We became good friends in Cleveland and haven't seen each other since we came to NJ. Chrissy & Jeremy are also in the process of moving away from Cleveland however they are heading south to Atlanta. Hopefully her travels to NYC will continue so we can get together more in the years to come!

Our first attempt to register

Everyone knows that just walking in Babies R Us is enough to make you want to pull your hair out right?! Try standing infront of everything from passies to crib sheets & trying to figure out how many three babies will need! 6? That won't work because that only gives us one spare for each baby. 9? That seems more appropriate & surely they all won't pee on their sheets the same night right? I thought I was so prepared with my research and my lists but I quickly saw that all of that doesn't really matter. Especially considering I lost my list about 5 minutes into the process! It was such a fun and eye opening night to just how much these babies are going to bring into our lives!

Room for babies?

Is there room for three more babies in our house?? We already have two of the worlds most spoiled living with us! Just a typical morning or evening around the apartment!

What's important....

Just about the time the news of triplets started sinking in Brian was promoted & we knew that we were moving. Even with help from the company moving is never easy, getting a house ready for the market, inspections, appraisals and then trying to find a new place to live.... life can get stressful. In an attempt to keep me grounded & remind me of what I need to focus on Brian has placed these signs around me so that I see them daily, hourly, and remember that moving isn't what's important in our lives right now! I have bigger things to focus my attention on!

15 weeks, 4 days, 37 inches around!

Here are the 4 of us on Saturday night after dinner. We had a great day home shopping, mini van shopping, taking Kirbs to the dog park and getting smoothies afterwards. I even made dinner that night! The "feel good" days are never taken for granted anymore!

Last shot

Last night I took my final progesterone shot! For 14 weeks I have been injecting myself with one last hormone required to help these babies survive and we are finally done! No more shots (at least for awhile!) and no more fertility drugs!

Moving day

Getting ready for the long drive to NJ to start the new chapter in our life. We will be going back and forth for the next few months but we decided it's important for me to get settled with a doctor now.

Just what every pregnant woman wants right? To leave her 3000 square foot home and move into a one bedroom apartment!

Beach trip

The babies made their second trip to the beach last week! Even though it was too cold to swim we loved every minute in the sun and with my family.

I also loved showing my baby belly! I don't care what anyone says I am not hiding it until I have too! I worked too hard for it and I love it too much to cover it!

Out of the closet

After hitting the 12 week mark this week (Tuesday) we are officially out of the closet with our pregnancy AND our triplet news!! We have been showered with love, supportive words, and so many baby gifts already. Especially our little beans aunt's...they are already spoiling the babies.! Thanks to everyone for making our dream come true even more special.
