My shower was yesterday and I'm pretty sure I had the best baby shower anyone has ever had (I know that I'm not biased or anything)!!! My sisters and mom planned the cutest shower on Earth! Since I"m having triplets, they went crazy and everything turned out just amazing! After going to baby shower after baby shower and wondering if I'd ever have my own(and eventually having to boycot so that I wouldn't have a public meltdown while people shout to me "you'll be next"...yes people really do that), this was more than I ever could have imagined! They started with a Thing 1, Thing 2, (adding a Thing 3) Cat in the Hat theme--Thank you for the onesies, Mike! Eventually it turned into a Dr. Seuss theme. Here are some of my favorite shots of the day and if you're my Facebook friend you've seen them all! Don't forget that you can click on the pics to enlarge it.
My sisters made these adorable diaper cakes with Dr. Seuss characters popping out of the top. If my calculations are correct (which we know they usually aren't) will get us through 5 weeks worth with the babies! The cakes were a hit!
The other centerpieces were flowers that my mom put Dr. Seuss pins in the center of. You can't see the pins very well in the picture, but they were really cute!
I have no words for the cake. It was ridiculous! The one and only Rama Sola made it. She's the only person to get cakes from in my opinion! She's been making our cakes since we were little and made our Wedding cakes and Christin'a baby shower cake as well. She outdoes herself each time...
And here I am with my mom, sister's and Luci, whose Dr. Seuss outfit was too cute! 
THANKS for everything Mom, Andrea, and Sissy for all of your hard work putting everything together. I couldn't have LOVED it more! Also, THANK YOU to all of our very generous friends and family for the gifts! I am overwhelmed by how blessed we are to have each of you in our lives! Having 3 babies at once is stressful enough and because of all of you we do not have to buy even 1 big item for the babies, so we can't even express how thankful we are for everything we got!
On to my 21 week check up...
I went to the doctor today. They just did a short scan today to check fluid, which were all perfect! I'll be 22 weeks tomorrow and making it to 24 weeks without signs of twin to twin tranfusion (which I will :) is a major milestone!
The babies are getting too big (which is good!) to get good pictures of, but I think this is about the sweetest thing I've ever seen, so of course I had to share it.
If you couldn't tell from the cake, we did decide on names! We are naming them Molly, Mia, and Max. We couldn't decide, but Christina told Rama to put that on the cake, so she went ahead and decided for us!
Molly and Mia's heartrates were both in the 150's and Max was 137, so all within normal ranges. I measured as if I am 27 weeks pregnant and the babies are now the sizes of small baby dolls.
Everything is going pretty smoothly! We did have a small scare last Thursday morning. I had a really sharp, constant pain in my stomach that wouldn't go away and was to the point that I could not stand up. It got pretty unbearable, so we spent the morning in Labor & Delivery. Turns out, my ligaments are stretching so fast now that when I make sudden movements that may become my norm. It could have been , and hopefully was just a fluke, but that's what it was. We were there for 2 hours while they monitored me and the babies, gave me some pain meds, told me to take it easy the rest of the day, and sent me home! Now that I know what that was and feels like, hopefully everything will be smooth sailing from here on out.

Your shower looked amazing to say the least. I absolutely loved the cake and theme. You look so cute preggers and we are excited for you. Sorry to hear about your scare. Hopefully the rest of your pregnancy will go smoothly. BTW, I love the names!!!
Hi Connie! I just love reading your blog! I love hearing the excitement in your writing about being pregnant and that you are enjoying every minute of it! I also love the names - good choices!!! Just wanted you to know that I think about you often and pray for you and your babies often too!! Keep up the good work of being such a great home for your babies!

Hey Mommy! You look so great and the ditto to what the other gals said about the shower and the names, etc! I love the sonogram pic! And I think ligament pain is bad with one kid in there! I can't imagine it with three! Ugh. Praying for you all!
