Just another Manic Sunday

I have been lazy the past 2 weeks on updating the blog, but here is my excuse. Preseason Football, Golf, and college football preview, just kidding. We have been preparing for the final stretch. Sunday became a different story for a change; Ash had been doing so good and all of the sudden we find ourselves at the maternity center on Sunday afternoon with Ash having contractions. No worries, she took a bunch of drugs that I can not pronounce and the contractions are under control, plus her cervix is still the bomb. Now we are at week 30, which is a huge accomplishment and hopefully we can make is to week 32, week 34 and we are home free. Regardless of the goals, week 30 is an enormous accomplishment and we should be proud. If anyone wants to place a wager in honor of football season, here are the odds:

week 31 3 to 1
week 32 4 to 1
week 33 5 to 1
week 34 6 to 1
week 35 10 to 1
week 36 Divorce

Dog Days of Summer

Surf's up for Walker, which wave should he take.

Week 29 will be here Friday, my time flies

We visit the doctor tomorrow to get another update. The past few days we have been on vacation, our last vacation for a while at Palm Coast. I actually read 2 parenting books on this vacation, Baby Wise and Preparation for Parenting, for real, no cliff notes. We will see how they prepare me for the real life situation. I will post tomorrow about the doctor's visit. Ash still looks like she is only having one baby.

Week 28

So we have made it to week 28 and Ash is measuring like it is week 42. The babies weigh 3 pounds 1 ounce, 3 pounds 5 ounces, and 2 pounds 13 ounces. They are growing very well and the cervix is still very strong. It looks like mid September at minimum since Ashly is doing so good.

Some new pictures from the doctor's visit, they are getting hard to see...

Friday will be week 28

So many of you are asking about the actual due date, and since the abacus is a little outdated, let me break down the possibilities. Around September 1st would be week 32 which is average delivery of triplets. Week 34 is a desirable delivery date with fewer complications. We are guaranteed to go early and are shooting for week 34 (Herschel Walker's jersey number, as if you did not know). Full term would be the end of October which conflicts with GA/FLA. All kidding aside mid-September is the goal, any day after that is gravy. We go to Mitch tomorrow and hopefully I will have some new pictures.
