Lady Gaga, Visitors and a Fun Week Ahead!

Lady Gaga
They say the triplets can hear things now and I wondered what A,B and C thought about the Gaga interview on sixty minutes.

Baby A . . . I'm usually down at the bottom of Mom's tummy so it's hard to hear, but Gaga actually sounded like she had a good head on her shoulders. I can't wait to dress like her, I hear she dresses really cool...

It's OK Baby A, you can't see anything....

 Baby B . . . She seems pretty cool. I hear she plays a piano while it's on fire!

Looks like Daddy cooking dinner now while Mindy's in the hospital

Baby C . . . Are you nuts? She said she doesn't smoke pot because it's bad for her singing voice . . . but otherwise ...

Baby A . . . Look, she hangs out with Kermit and anyone that loves Kermit can't be bad. . . I don't care what she does with her free time...
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions, but rainbows have nothing to hide...
Baby B . . . You two hash it out, I'm going to go push on mommy's ribs, it's getting cramped in here...

Baby A . . . No wait, I'll help...

Baby C . . .Me too...Push!!!

Mindy grows in Week 22 (and actually grew in the last two days!)
Baby's pushing hard against the belly...

Wonder if we can put advertising on Mindy's belly to pay for the medical bills?
 Doctor Visit

I had a really good doctor visit Friday. He seems to really care about me.  He asked me about my mood to make sure I wasn't depressed.  He asked me how I felt about going home after week 24 if I was stable enough.  He told me some of the risks of going home.  We talked about my weight gain but after he felt how much bigger by belly was getting he wasn't too concerned.  He also said it would be good to take a short wheel chair ride outside or to the NICU to get better acquainted would be good.  It hasn't been scheduled yet but knowing  he wants to keep me sane is good.

Does anyone have a problem with Mindy getting some swim time or wheelchair rides?
 Visitors!

This weekend is full of visitors which will made time fly by!  Friday Pastor Scott stopped by with words of encouragement, my friend Bri is came for the afternoon and our friends Paul and Cindy brought Latin King for dinner then beat Tony and I in some fun card games. 

Mindy modeling some new maternity wear...
 Saturday Tony ran Dam to Dam and I wish I could  have been there to watch him finish.  Next year all four of us will be there cheering him on! 

Tony's sporting those 80's arm and headbands...lost without the cheering ladies in his life...
Saturdays visitors include Anna (driving from Minnesota), Shannon and her son Drake (driving from St. Louis), and Sejal driving from Newton.

Important people visit Mindy!
 Surprise Party!


Sunday I was treated to a nice surprise.  My sister Megan came up to do my hair, clip, my nails, and pluck my eyebrows.  Things I can't do for myself.  Then in the early afternoon I had a feeling that she had something up her sleeve.  First Teresa walked in and I wasn't expecting her.  Then my mom and Ellie came which I was expecting.  Then Mallory walked into the room and I hadn't heard from her to make sure she was coming.  At this point I got a little emotional from all the love and support my friends and family were giving me.  Angie, Gracie, Mickenzie, Michael, Jim, Laura, Claudia, Christina, Stephanie, and Carl also joined in the fun.  My sister treated everyone to cheesecake and an afternoon full of socializing.  My spirits were definitely lifted and I was given a renewed encouragement to kep the girls safe and healthy.  Thank you to everyone who was able to be here.

Club 3106 was bumpin


Next thing I know it will be Monday morning and I'll be off to the pool for physical therapy.  My back and hips are going to love it.  After I get back from the pool I'll have another cervix check and baby check.  This time they will measure the babies so we'll get to see how much they weigh and how long they are.  There are definitive lumps in my belly where baby B and C are.  I'm hoping that even though I only gained 2 pounds this past week they are growing like weeds!  The girls are working on their gymnastic skills,  They are kicking like crazy.  The nurses have to find their heart beats 3 times a day and it is crazy how much they will have moved between times.  Baby A is usually on my left side below the belly button.  This morning she was on my right side above my hip bone.  Baby B is usually to the right of by belly button.  Sometimes she is clear up in my ribs (painful).  Baby C is usually on my far left side.  This morning she was just left of my belly button.

Mindy gets her medal and flowers for putting up with months of bedrest!
 This week I have passed a lot of my time watching Desperate Housewives.  I never watched the show but heard good things about it.  My friend Nick who works at the hospital was able to hook me up with a DVD player with a remote yesterday!  That means I can start watching Dexter and Weeds.

Mindy can't reach the DVD player so she has an assistant...



Monday is another big day.  Please continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
