Week 20... doctors visit

July 16th

I had a visit to both doctors today. Both said everything is going very well. I am measuring 25 weeks, and the two girls have heartbeats at 148 bpm, and Peyton's HB is 138 bpm. Dr. Thigpen measured the cervix once again to check for incompetent cervix, and then took a look at all three babies. It is getting pretty cramped in there... I believe I am starting to experience what people call " Braxton Hicks contraction." He said that is completely normal. I go back to the both doctors in two weeks, glucose test, and cervix check. Everything seems to be progressing right along. I am so excited for my upcoming showers... I can not wait to finish the nursery within the next few weeks, YEAH! More to come next weeks.

Deciding on names... OMG this is hard!

July 8th

Hey Friends, Okay so here it is... I think Pacer and I have finally come to an agreement on the names. One name is hard enough, but 3.. crazy! So here it is... drum roll please...

Addalynn Diane
Cambrie Elle
Peyton Allen

The middle names are family names. Diane is Pacer's mom middle name. Elle is my mom's middle names, well kind of. Her middle name is Machelle, but we both like the abbreviated version, and then of course Allen is Pacer and his father's middle name.

So there it is... Whew! No more thinking... no more suggestions! It is very cute to hear Bryleigh say the names!

No doctor's appointment this week, next Thursday I will see both doctors.

I am some what concerned about the pressure that I am beginning to notice these last few days, but I am sure it is because I am carrying TRIPLETS!

My aunt is making the crib bedding... I am so excited to see the final product. Pacer is in the process of painting the cribs, and this past week, Pacer and his dad did some furniture rearrangment to make room for the upstairs nursery. Exciting and busy time!

More to come next week!

Love, Paige

Another Weekly Doctor's Visit... Great News!

July 2nd,

A visit to the Specialist, and Dr. Thigpen says he could not be happier in the progress of the pregnancy. These past few weeks he has been monitoring and checking for an incompetent cervix. I go back in two weeks to checks again at 20 weeks, and if everything looks good, he will see me at 22 weeks to then start monitoring pre term labor issues until around 32 weeks, crazy, it seems so short of time, but so long! All three babies are doing great, strong heartbeats, and wiggling everywhere. You would think that the sonogram pictures would be so neat, but with three, it is so hard to see much of anything. They again checked gender and 2 girls and 1 boy, so I think we can say it is official!

We registered today... how fun! It seemed like we were registering for the entire store, but I guess with three and both genders, you practically are! Check out Babies R Us!

Pacer and I are in the beginning stages of rearranging the house. As many of you know, Pacer's upstairs sports room, is transforming into a wonderful jungle themed nursery. We have changed Bryleigh into a "big girl bed"... Yeah, but kind of sad! We, I mean Pacer with some supervision, is soon going to begin painting two of the cribs (the girls crib). Good times ahead!

All is well! Thanks for the continued prayers!
