I'm having a problem loading the webpage I've updated, so I'll post some pictures here for now. Maybe I'll be able to load it when I try again. Murphy's law says as soon as I put the pictures on here, it will load just fine <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Ok, I guess my stomach picture is over attachment size, so I'll try to load the webpage now and see if it works.
The stomach picture was taken last weekend but i'm already much bigger. The growth is amazing.
I tried to load the website again... it worked (go figure) <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">.
You can see the same picutes, plus some of how big my stomach is getting (as I said above, it's even bigger now than a few days ago) on the website, here's the direct link <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.cysticfibrosismaleinfertility.com/Mark_and_Julies_PregnancyJournal.html">http://www.cysticfibrosismalei..._PregnancyJournal.html</a>

Julie,
I don't do alot of actual writing here, however do every once in awhile. But each and every day come to see your updates on your babies and have been honored to see and be a part of (although from a distance), your journey. It is absolutely amazing!!!!!
I am a twin and consider her to be my very best friend and feel such great pride to be a twin. With triplets, WOW!!!!! Can't even begin to imagine the journey you have just began. I just wanted to say thank you for sharing and being so open here.
Enjoy your sleep now and get ready for some fun!!!!

Julie, thanks for the update, just a thought, since the grocery store turned you down, what about the local news? We have stories all the time about triplets that are born (you could throw in the CF too!) and then they have a place/bank set up for donations!!!!!! I'm sure any help is appreciated!
Thanks everyone, I'm glad you enjoyed the pictures <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">! They seem to already have little personalities.
Baby A is laid back, not too active, just moves around a bit. Baby B is kind of wild, thrashing around during the ultrasound and making the sonographer chase him/her to get some good pictures. And then baby C is MORE active than baby B and a bulley too. Baby C was "boxing" baby B at our ultrasound a few weeks ago. It was so funny, even the tech was cracking up about it.
I'm glad you are all allowing me to share this journey and our progress with you. I try to make it so I don't update too often and bore anyone to death, but I'm also only doing this pregnancy thing once (a lot of bang for my buck I'd say <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">) so I'm trying to live it up.
HairGirl, I contacted a local radio station I listen to all the time and that was about a month ago... haven't heard back. I was going to contact the news, but I think they get turned off (and understandably so) by someone contacting them and asking for this for themselves. I think it would be different if I was contacting them regarding a friend of mine, or if a friend of mine would contact them regarding me. All my friends in the area though have moved away for college or to start their own lives, and my bestfriend (since I was 2) who is still in the area is very shy and quiet (exact opposite of me) and wouldn't think of contacting someone about something like that. My last resort is to ask my church (we just started going, there are only about 20 people there, it's very small but a very nice congregation) to help out. I don't know what they'll say though. I guess we'll find out <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
Jane, Mark won't say it but I think he's getting nervous about graduation. I'm so darn proud of him though. He's the first person in his family this generation and last generation (in his immediate family) to go to college and graduate. His mom went but quit after a year, his moms sisters never went, Mark's brother never went, Mark's 1/2 sister never went, his dad didn't even finish high school.... his grandfather was the last person to go to college and graduate I am so, so proud of him!!!
He's leaving on Wednesday to drive over to Pullman, it's about a 6 hour drive from our house and my mom and I are driving over together on Friday morning. Graduation is on Saturday at 11am. I am so excited for him!!!!!! I'll tell him ou send your thoughts.
Thanks everyone!

I havent commented on your pictures & stuff alot. I mainly sit back & enjoy it all unfolding. I have to say its amazing how detailed the sonograms are since Jazz's conception. I thought the ones from my pregnancy was a good profile, but nothing compared to what you have. Your belly is still so tiny compared to what its going to be. I had a flashback of the I Love Lucy show when Lucy was pregnant with little Ricky & got stuck in the couch. I so see that happning with you (sent with love of course). You should very well b extremely proud of your hubby. He has fought a long battle with a few obstacles (CF, moving, triplets etc) along the way. GO MARK! BTW Jazmine says to make it easy & name the babies Tick, Tac & Toe. We had 3 kittens we named that, but she realized it wouldnt be appropriate to name human babies that!
Melissa,
Tell Jazzy that's very cute, we have nicknames already (larry, curly and Moe) but those aren't all that unique. Maybe we'll go with T, T and T as she suggested!
Stuck on the couch... you must have seen a picture of my couches then <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">. We got them 3-4 years ago from goodwill. Definately not the most comfortable but they were clean and we needed them so we readily purchased them. I must say, NO support whatsoever though. I imagine I will get stuck in them before this pregnancy is over. We are looking for new ones (used, but new to us). We want the U shaped ones because that will free up one side of our very narrow living room so we can put baby swings against the other wall. I look every week, I'm sure I'll find somethign before I go on perm. bed rest.
Mark and I were looking through my baby book at my moms house the other day and there was an ultrasound picture of me. My mom had handwritten HEAD?? on the picture. She said back then, you just took their word for it. No wonder they thought I was a boy. It just looked like a blob to me. Oh well. We had a good laugh about it.
I'll let you know about their personalities Lauren, I'm curious to see too if they are the same when they are born. Baby C the aggressor.
