Pregnancy Countdown

Lilypie Pregnancy tickers

Thursday, June 24, 2010



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)

  1. I know you will both be great parents because you have had parents on both sides that have loved you and still do love you very much.
    We pray for all of you daily. We are counting down the days with you and are very excited as well as the 2 aunts to be (still fighting over who will be the best - haha).
