On April 9, Lisa made it to the 31 week mark in the pregnancy.  On the 11th, another sonogram was done.  The approx. weights for the babies are: Baby A (boy) 3 lb 14 oz, Baby B (girl) 3 lb 13 oz, Baby C (girl) 3 lb 10 oz.  All throughout the pregnancy, we have been happy that all three babies have been growing at a consistent pace.

If you add up the weights, there is over 11 lbs of baby in that belly!  No wonder Lisa is quite uncomfortable even just walking alittle.

Jim is doing fine, just trying his best to make sure Lisa is taken care of.

If all goes well, we hope to schedule the birth for Tuesday, May 9th.  However we both realize that the chance of the babies deciding to come when they want to could easily derail those plans.  That's okay, though.  We have all of the necessities in place and would be able to manage if they did come early.

Well, that's all for this first of our blog entries.

Cheers!

      Jim,
      I thought you told me that the babies were only 2 lbs and 14,13,and 9 ounces. So which one is correct? I hope the 3 lbs is correct, it just makes me feel better if they are bigger. Now you really have me excited. I am off May 15, 16 & 17. I know the little ones will probably still be in the hospital but hopefully I can still ride down to see them. Did I ever give you my work number in case the babies come during the day. If not, its [edited]. If you get a voice message that says this is Dee Dee, that's me. Heck if you would call me at work and ask for Donna, most people wouldn't even know who you were talking about. Someone asked me today if Lisa will be delivering the babies at the hospital she works at?

        Donna,

        The 2 lb weights were from a couple weeks ago. The 3 lb weights are from tuesday! So they really are growing in there!!!

        Yes, Lisa will have the babies at the same hospital she works at. They have a Neo-natal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) there. Through Theresa, we found out Altoona does not have one but Johnstown does. It really wasn't planned for her offical due date to be so close to ours (Her "offical" due date is June 8, ours June 11...but we know for certain our will not wait that long).

        That would be cool if you could make it down. In general, we will be asking everyone to please check with us before visiting. With the amount of family and friends, it would be overwhelming to have everyone come at once.
