This is my 500th post. Wow! Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We were surrounded by family from both of our sides & enjoyed a great weekend with them.
How far along? Nine weeks Saturday so 9w1d today.
Maternity Clothes? After not being able to zip & button a bigger pair of work pants this week, I wore the BeBand with unzipped pants & broke down & purchased a pair of maternity khakis & jeans. The khakis I wore this weekend & wondered why I’d put off that maternity panel so long!
Weight Gain? Haven’t weighed myself but I’d think so.
Stretch Marks? No.
Sleep? Lots of tossing back & forth. Enough that after one night together in a double bed, Jason moved over to the twin in our room at my grandparents’ to give us both better nights’ sleep. Last night I woke up at 12:30, 1:37, 3:34 & 7:30 to pee. I had to get a snack at 4 too. I’ll be off to bed early tonight.
Movement? Not yet.
Genders? We hope & pray for healthy babies first & foremost. But Iād love to have boy/girl combos.
What I Miss? Sleeping on my tummy/back without waking up & having to roll over. I think I’m going to start surrounding myself with pillows so I stay on my sides.
Symptoms? The bump that especially appears after eating this week. And the hunger.
What Iām Looking Forward to? More maternity pant wearing this week which will mean more comfort. Counting down the days until our first MFM doctor appointment {8}.
Weekly Wisdom? Rest when you’re feeling tired. My family is all about the go, go, go. This weekend we experienced that I can no longer do that. I found chairs in every store we went into. Also smile & share in everyone’s excitement. I think Nana told at least one person everywhere we went all weekend that I was pregnant with triplets. She’s so proud & excited.
Milestones? The babes are the size of grapes this week & about an inch long.

I am just now reading that you are pregnant with triplets! I am so so so happy for your guys! Can’t wait to follow your journey! Sending lots of prayers your way š
Thanks Steph!
Yes, by all means, take it easy! I mean it was hard work growing one baby. I can’t imagine how tired you must feel with three rolling around in there š
So true Molly.
Maternity pants are awesome — enjoy them. Through most of both my pregnancies, I needed a snack during the night. Eventually learned to take a banana up to bed with me — and that’s not a euphemism for something else. I’d wake up around 2 or 3, get up to pee, eat the banana and go back to sleep.
Snoogle. Buy one now and you can sleep in piece!!
You look awesome! Seriously glowing. So happy for you.
You are so right about resting when you can. That first trimester is especially exhausting. And I always had food with me by the bed … graham crackers, saltines … whatever I could reach over, grab and shove into my mouth in the dark. š
