Hello! Ok, so there are a few things goin on! I had my final cord doppler reading today! Yay! Everything is looking good in fact the doctor said, "Her cord reading is looking so good I'm tempted to let you keep going." I asked her (the perinatologist) and my doctor their honest opinion if it would be better for the babies to really stay in there, but they said at 34 weeks babies do really really well so it is better to get them out and keep growin em from the outside! Especially since little Elle is so small and isn't growing as well as her brother. So, it's decided. I am scheduled to deliver on Monday, March 15th at 12:30. My babies will be here by 1! I made the decision to go with a c-section. I could try for a vaginal delivery, but there are so many more risks and complications for the babies and I would probably have to end up doing a c-section anyway after who knows how many hours of labor and stress form contractions on my little ones... so I feel that the best decision for THEM is to do a c-section. I just want them to be safe and okay, they have already been through enough and are gonna go through more being preemies and in the NICU. So please everyone pray that the surgery goes well and I recover well and that the babies are okay and all that jazz!! I have felt all your prayers already! My doctors are really impressed at how well me and the babies have been doing, they didn't think we would make it this far. I know it is because of all of your guy's faith and prayers that have helped me and my babies remain in such good conditions so thank you so so much!! I am very excited that I will be 34 weeks on Sunday!! My mom is driving up from Arizona and will be here Sunday Afternoon and then for I don't know how long after the babies come. I am really excited/glad/comforted/relieved/happy/thrilled that she is going to be here with me! AND Hayden... he is gonna need a lot of help and support too! :)

Oh that is just great news! Good job mama! I can't wait to see those little babes! We'll keep on praying!
Lisa... good to hear! I'm so happy you were able to make it to the 34 week mark! That's great. Your babies are going to do awesome. You just hang in there and enjoy the experience! :) It's definitely one you will never forget. We'll be praying for you, Hayden, and your little ones. Love you!
Hey, Girlie! I am so glad to have someone to give things to. You accumulate a lot of stuff with triplets! I hope you find some things you can use. I tried to include some cute matching outfits and, of course, preemie sized things! You are about to be taken on an incredible ride. This will be one of the most challenging and wonderful things you've ever done. Advice:
1. take it easy as much as you need to. You will want to be with your little ones, but don't forget about yourself too. They will be well-cared for while you heal.
2. Get up and get moving as soon as you can though. It will speed your healing process.
3. Be upfront with the nurses about your desires for the babies. They are YOUR babies. You get to make the decisions.
4. Start Kangaroo care with the twins as soon as you can. It will help them progress and is amazing for bonding! Get Hayden in on it too. It was one of Mike's favorite things to do. Nothing sweeter than feeling their cute little naked body on your bare skin. In fact, buy a wrap (you can get a Moby wrap at Target for around $60-$70). You won't regret it!
5. Savor each and every sleepless moment! It goes by SO fast!
I wishyou all the best, and I can't wait to see these sweet babies! Please call me if you ever have any questions or need anything else. I'm sure I'll be sending care packages your way from time to time :) Love you bunches!
