Updated Pictures

[julie]

Hey everyone, no update on the babies as our next appt. isn't until Thursday but I had Mark take a belly picture today. I updated it on the website.

Someone had asked the measurement around my stomach (I forget who or I'd PM it ). The measurement around is 45.25 inches. And the mesurement from my pubic bone to the top of my uterus (referred to as the fundal height) is 49cm. This fundal height is suppose to correspond to weeks pregnant, give or take a bit for a womans pre-pregnancy size and the size of the baby (i.e. someone measuring 25cm is about 25 weeks along). So Mark keeps joking and saying I'm 9 weeks overdue Silly guy.

Hope everyone is doing well!! We've only got 5.5 weeks left and I'm so excited. Just thought I'd share a quick update!!!

Hi Julie, I was looking at your site, the funny pics bit, and you need to be careful that you don't allow Zain to sleep in any of the babies cots, cribs etc. as by the time the babies come along the cat will think that these places are his places, and continue to sleep in them, wether the babies are there or not, we wouldent want any kind of accident, so be careful, you know cats, they are so independant.

How are you doing, bet you can't wait now, hope you are resting and eating as much as you can.

OOOOOHHHHH MMMMMYYYYY GGGGGOOOOODDDDD...........................!

You are huge girl, just hang in there only 5 weeks to go. WOW, it has just gone too quick. I remember you just told us you were pregnant and now look at you.

PS: Your tummy looks realy red in the pics, does it burn (like heat). I too was the same where my belly got realy rede and it felt realy hot, like burning senasation.
Just criouse.

Take care and thanks for the update

I too am worried about that Craig. He's such a loving cat, not a mean bone in his body (although a naughty cat, always does what he shouldn't be doing) and he has no claws so that's good. But I'm afraid he's going to lovey right up to one of the babies (moreso their faces if I breastfeed) and that's the end of that. We are trying to get one of those crib tent things, it goes on the inside railings of the babies crib and comes up at the top like the dome of a tent. It zips open to get the kids in and out, but keeps animals out (it was designed to keep older kids IN the crib at night, but many use if for animals as well!!!).

Instead of buying 2 new ones, because they are SO expensive, I'm trying to find one locally from another mom of multiples or another mom. I'm looking on EBAY too but they are still pretty expensive there, so we'll see. But it's on my list to GET ASAP!!!! Thanks

Hi Eli, yes, my stomach is VERY red, but only where the babies move around the most. And if I forget to put my lotion on it, it gets all itchy. I just can't win. . It's starting to get so uncomfortable to move, but as luck would have it, (in a good way) sleeping is getting easier because my stomach supports itself now.... can't complain there!!!

Hope all is well for you!

I've been thinking about you lots Julie. Glad to see all is going well! My sister is due Oct 17. I keep looking at her belly and wondering how 3 could fit in yours!! Love the pics. Can't wait to see them outside your belly soon!

Its still so hard for me to wrap my brain around the idea of 3 babies in there & that a body can stretch so much!
