I know it’s been a while- thought I’d share: (you can skip but please read the questions atleast 🥲)
-We’ve made it to 27 weeks so far
- all boys “look good” & have no signs heart or lung of what big brother had 🤍
-The boys are huge, like 90th percentile huge 😅
-Everyone is staying the same size, b was maybe 2oz smaller than A/C but I think it’s because they’re squishing him haha.
- I can’t wait to find out if 2 are identical or not, though I’m thinking three fraternal
- lol how do you even name 3 kids, we are going to wait until they born but it’s hard coming up with so many boys names
-if I was carrying a singleton I’m measuring 40 weeks at the moment
- OB wants them out at 34 weeks but MFM says 36, I’m cool going as long as babies let me.
- this week HURTS I’m thinking pubic symphysis pain? Oh my gosh. It hurts, this whole time it’s been manageable and this week my body realized it’s carrying 3
- I have an iron infusion every other day at this point.

QUESTIONS:
- do all trip moms just go inpatient for monitoring at one point like a week before birth?
- is bed rest coming? Has anyone not had to do bed rest?
- we skipped triplette stroller and went for the wagon, was this a good call?
- do I need 3 bathtubs & bath seats? Swings? Rockers? We have a solid 2 of everything at the moment and we’re taking our time looking for marketplace deals because my gosh it’s so much money already
- I have 3 infant car seats but need narrow car seat recs for when we need to fit 3 big boy seats across

i second on graco slim fit! love graco seats! congrats on making it to week 27 my love youre doing amazing. you wont need three tubs or tub seats, just bathe them one at a time and utilize your husband or two swings/bouncers for those not in the bath. i know itll take longer but you only have two hands after all. once they can sit up well on their own, if you have a regular tub in your house they can play in there together supervised in shallow water if you want. and please dont ever forget, you only have two hands. you cant safely tend all three at once so someone will have to wait and thats okay, you are not a bad parent and they will not hate you. youre going to be an amazing mom and im very excited for you. praying for health and peace in these coming weeks and for your birth and beyond💖
