All dressed up with someplace to go.

First time I've been outside in two weeks
So yesterday I got to break free from my bed rest or house arrest basically. I had a doctors appointment. It was great to get to put on real clothes, do my hair and wear my makeup again. I even was excited to get to ride shot gun since my motion sick husband had to work and it was just my mom and I. They gave me an ultra sound that lasted like an hour and I am a rare breed in the way that I hate long ultra sounds. I like to see the girls but when they run their scope in the lower region it hurts me pretty bad and Jocelyn's head is about as low as it can go. Everything seems to be so far so good though. My only concern is that Cali is smaller then the other two and even though she is still growing and doing well I want her to be at a healthy weight when she is born. Also the doctor says that they will be keeping a close eye on Cali and Delaney because they share a placenta and that puts them at risk for twin to twin transfusion which could be bad in opposite ways for both of them. Not to worry though because that hasn't happened yet and is less likely to happen at this stage, but, I would appreciate prayers that it doesn't and of course that Cali's growth picks up so that when they are born she will be at a much healthier weight. Jocelyn is the biggest at 1lb 8oz, Delaney is 1lb 4oz (which I believe is the average weight for their age), and Cali is 15oz.
As of two days ago my waist is about 40 inches around and today I weighed myself and have gained a total of about 31 lbs or so and I should be at about 30 so I'm right on target now. Yippee!

Sundi, you look so pretty...love the top! I have been waiting for 24 hours for you to post. Talked with Ry yesterday but I think he was overwhelmed with all the question. You had a great day yestday; a big outing and riding shotgun...what more can a gal ask for. These little ones are really coming to life for me in your womb. So fun to know how each one is doing and I didn't realize that you had already named each one and that you know exactly where they are. You are an awesome 'Ma'. God really knew what he was doing when he blessed you with these three babies.....you are quite a girl and I am always so proud of you. Love you tons SB

Wow Sun! You look soooo good. I LOVE your outfit! That is a great top (good job Sandie B!)! and I'm impressed that you look so cute in jeans! Must have felt good to get out of your sweats. I didn't know that you named them. Please tell me you didn't name "Jocelyn" after you found out she was the "biggest" one! I was hoping this 2nd generation Jocelyn would get to be the "smaller" one. Oh well! Sounds like she'll have to be the bully after all. I think it's so cute that you know which is which already. Thanks for the post. I too have been patiently waiting. And actually called you 3 times lastnight but your phone was off! I"ll call u this weekend for more details!

Hey Sundi, You look so cute! I also think it is so cool that you know each one and have them all named. I am so excited to see them! Keep posting pics, this is so cool to see you grow. Also, Thanks Jocelyn for adding me to Sundi's blogger list. I no longer feel left out:) Take care and pick up the phone and call me this weekend!

Kim said...

Sundi, you look so great! I can't believe you are having TRIPLETS...Maybe you got the meultiples out of the way for the Keller Twins children! But I've thought Twins like my dad and Uncle Darrell would be fun, but not Nathan!! Best of luck in the last few months, what a miracle ;)

Terrific post Sundi! You look great! I love this blogging thing it is such a great way to expand prayer! Amazing about technology, keep up the great work gaining weight and following Drs orders sandi B is right you are quite a gal and will be a super terrific mommy:)

Sundi said...

Thanks to everyone who says I look great.haha If only I took pictures of how I usually look.
Kim, good to hear from you. Congratulations on your pregnancy. I'm surprised anyone wouldn't want twins. Triplets maybe not but twins for sure. well they usually don't come in first pregnancies so maybe after he gets used to the one you can have two next time.
Jocelyn, She was already Jocelyn so not to worry and I don't think she'll be the bully either. It's looking like Delaney has that one covered. Cali being the runt of the litter so to speak and the fact that she is closest to my heart makes me think she will the the most affectionate one. I'm not sure yet what Jocelyn will be like yet to be honest. She almost seems to be passive. maybe she'll be my good child.

Jocelyn said...

how much do i love the comment about Cali being close to your heart.

Brittany said...

Sundi, tell Ryan I would like to somewhat revise him and my conversation the other day. Tell him I will try to help him put himself up on that pedestal. He needs all the support he can get:) Let him know I see the error of my previous words.

Meg said...

Well that's obvious...Jocelyn will be the pain in the ass, since that's what she's the closest too. Sundi, I know you won't get sick of hearing it, so I'll say it with everyone else...you look AMAZING! And those red fancy shoes, how in the heck did you pull that off? Very cute. I bet everyone gets the biggest quick out of seeing how cute you are (because people are suckers for pregnant gals) and then loves when you tell them you're carrying three.
And Joc, your comment about made me fall off my chair. You're hilarious.

Jocelyn said...

Well, i happen to know you got all dressed up today again, so lets see the pics!
