Yup - that's right - no bedrest! I can't believe it! I'm 29 weeks...30 on Monday...and my Dr. said she sees no reason to put me on bedrest yet! So that's great! :) She says I'm doing very well, blood pressure is great - no swelling yet - cervix is strong - and no contractions so she started saying things like I might go to 37 weeks (which is the farthest she'd let me go)! That's CRAZY talk! But whatever is best for the babies. :) I've been feeling BIG. And more uncomfortable all the time. It's harder to bend over now...and rolling over at night is a big challenge on top of getting out of bed at least 5 times a night for a run to the bathroom. I get tired a lot quicker now too...but all of this I can handle! So no complaining here. :)
So, now on to our baby girls! :) They are doing WONDERFUL! Praise God! :) Baby A STILL thinks she's the only one in there as she weighs big for a singleton at a little over 3 lbs. Baby B and C are measuring right in line with a twin pregnancy at just under 3 lbs. So my Dr. said they are doing amazing! You could see them practicing breathing which was really cool and a good sign I guess. They ALL still have very long legs. Surprise surprise. :) And they're VERY active which is also great. At night, Ryan and I just stare at my stomach in awe. Ryan swears there are aliens in there because it looks so CRAZY to see my whole stomach jumping around on its own in tons of different places. So far, I absolutely love being pregnant though. It's such a cool miracle to be a part of and I love feeling them move around. :) We are SO amazed that things continue to go well and we hope and pray it continues! Just so you know, the first goal for triplets is to get to 28 weeks - then 32 weeks (average for triplets)- then 34 weeks (which is "full term" for triplets) and then my next goal would be to beat one of my friends who had her triplets at 35 weeks and 4 days. :) We'll see!

Another JOY for us lately is that Ryan just got a new job within his same company. He used to cover the East Coast and had to travel there every other week but in God's perfect timing, the WI/IA territory opened up, he interviewed, and got the job! So now he won't have to travel as far or as often! Daddy can be home for his little girls! YAY! :)
Thanks again for your prayers and support!!! We definitely know that God is listening!!! :) We will continue to keep you posted as things could change at any minute. Hugs all around! :)

Wow! We are so very thankful that you are doing so well! We are so anxious to meet our new little grandbabies, but we will gladly wait until 37 weeks if we have to! God has been in control since the very beginning and we continue to pray for ALL of you precious girls and dear Ryan too. Great things await you!
