Hey Everyone,
All is good with the Bourland clan... all six of us! Pacer is very busy with football, Bryleigh is back with Mrs. Kristi while I am working. I had both doctor's visit this past week, and everything is still going very well. They did a full growth scan to see how the babies were growing. All three weighed 1pd. 12 oz.... Wow, almost 6 pounds of just baby at 26 weeks. The doctor does not see any reason of why I will not carry to 36 weeks, unless something some major changes take place. He estimates that if I carry to 36 weeks, the babies could weigh close to 6 pds. each! Next appointment with OB is on Wednesday the 8th, and then they will do the final growth scan at 30 weeks on the 22nd of September. We truly appreciate is continued prayers... GOD IS GREAT!
Love, Paige

Updates from the past month..
August 10th
I will just start off by saying... I know I stink at this blogging stuff! Since my last post, I have to say the family shower was wonderful! It is great to have such a wonderful family. Babies room is very close to be finised! We had a small crisis with the fabric,thinking that it may had been discontinued, but after driving all over the world (thank you, honey!) we found some the jungle fabric. Yeah!
During the past month, I have seen both doctors twice, and not much has changed other than the size of my belly!!! High Risk, says everything is still looking great. This past appointment, he did the FFN swab (checks for pre-term labor, and that came back negative, so that is a bonus! Two weeks ago, I did my first glucose tests, which checks for gestational diabetes and that came back clear as well. I am measuring 7 weeks ahead, so 31 weeks. WOWZERS!! In two weeks, I go back to see both doctors on the 25th. They will do a full growth scan to see how all three babies are growing. They did this at 14 weeks, and all three were measuring the same. That is what we are hoping to see at the next appointment. With Dr. Gardner, I do a repeat Glucose test, just because I am carrying multiples.
I began back to school this Monday... a little nervous on how I will hold up, but I must keeping looking ahead and taking each day with a blessing. Dr. Thigpen tells me I am super woman... he says he has never seen a mother carrying multiples do as well as I have up to this point. What a blessing! We continue to pray that I am able to carry these babies as long as possible. I have days that I am pretty uncomcomfortable, but that is just how it is! Anyone that complains about morning sickness during the first 12 weeks like most pregnancies are, I just want to give a big laugh! Thanks for continuing to follow... and I hope to do better about updates!

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!

Great News from the high risk doctor!
June 14th-
It has been six weeks since I visited the high risk doctor.. and a lot of progress in the development of the babies have taken place. They again check gender and they are definite that there is two girls and a boy, a definite boy! During the sonogram they checked for all extremities and everything looks great. All three babies are measuring 4 days ahead of schedule and each weighing 4 oz. As for now he said that early bedrest is not in the future. He feels that at this point, I will be able to carry possibly up to 36 weeks. From now until 22 weeks, (first of August), he will see me on a weekly basis, and I wil continue to see my OB/GYN monthly. At 22 weeks, if everything looks promising, that meaning no signs of pre-term labor,gestational diabetes, or high blood pressure, I will then see Dr. Gardner, on a two week basis until 32 weeks. Alot can change during this time, so we continue to pray that I am able to carry the babies as long as possible. Thanks for the continued support, and I will update if their are any changes. NYC here we come!

Finding out the genders... well at least daddy!
June 1st,
Sonogram Day! We get to find out the genders... oh wait, I have agreed not to find out, until the TV debut on the 8th. Sonograms are always exciting if you are expecting one, but they are very entertaining if you are expecting three. So while we were getting the Sonogram to see the genders, they had me turn my head, but sneaky daddy stayed in the back of the room, so for a whole week he knew and I did not... I hate surprises! Actually, they are really fun, but the anticipation is miserable. All in all, it was very reassuring that all three babies were measuring 13 weeks 4 days, and strong heartbeats. One week... waiting patiently to find out the gender on live TV. Post again soon on the 8th.
