The past week has been an eventful and exciting one! First, I'm now 4 months (17 weeks to be exact), which means that I could be 1/2 way through my pregnancy if the triplets end up coming at 32 weeks. It's wild how quickly the time has flown by! It's also a bit nerve- racking knowing how much we still have to do. Regardless, I decided to finally take my first prego-belly shot. I can definitely feel the growth in those little ones even in the past week! Before we know it, they'll be making themselves even more known by their little kicks! :)
Dan and I also celebrated our 5 year anniversary on Sat!! We certainly would have never thought we'd have 3 babies on the way within just 5 years. God sure does have a sense of humor :) Even though it was a big milestone in our marriage, we didn't really get to celebrate :( Dan just got home from his 8th gr. missions trip on Sat. night. He was pretty wiped so we decided to just go home- we still carried out our tradition by watching our wedding video (Kyle Going's version!) and browsing through photos. I also made a little booklet for Dan with highlights from each year of our marriage (posted pic below). This was really fun and special for me to make b/c it allowed me to reflect on our adventures- and also see God's sovereignty throughout
different stages. And he surprised me with a necklace with 3 hearts (hmmm..wonder why?)
Sunday we celebrated Dan's first Father's Day. We spent most of the afternoon with my in-laws. It was special to celebrate the future role Dan will have. Then to continue on with the idea of an "instant family" we bought a van!! (the thought of it makes me feel 5 years older!!) But really, we're so thankful for the sweet deal (no car payment!) we got and for Dan's mom for scoping it out for us. I'll post a picture soon, but it's a White 2001 Toyota Sienna with just 62,000 miles.
So, that's a recap of our eventful week. Tomorrow I have appointments with both my doctor and specialist so I'll have more ultrasound pics to post! 3 more weeks (or less) and hopefully we'll get to find out the sexes of our babies. And in case you're wondering- we're hoping for a mix! :)
Happy Father's Day!! (i think this may be more of a nervous excitement but oh well- he'll be an awesome dad)
