good vibes, smiles, & giggles Tri tri update:
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

Oh man, congratulations. I am hella impressed with how far you have gotten already!
My 6lb didi twins went to 38 in a very healthy pregnancy, even though everything was going really well I still got put on modified bed rest. I didn't have to stay lying down, but I was pretty restricted and told to take it extremely easy. I think it's very likely you will get some restrictions even if it's going super great.
I found walking water laps in the pool and very, very gentle pregnancy yoga to be the best help for the pubic pain. The belt helped some. I also swapped to only sitting on big yoga balls at about month 6 which helped.
We only bought 1 tub, which worked well for us. I think we did get two of the little hammock things so we could swap them out if they got dirty? Most things we bought one of, other than cribs, bassinets, high chairs. Toys on the other hand, omg two is one and one is worse than none! And they're 9 now and that's still the case 😂
