Happy 20 Weeks! and Valentine's Day!

What a great day! I got to celebrate my wonderful husband on Valentine's day AND 20 weeks with the newest loves of my life on the same day! I'm very relieved to get to 20 weeks because it feels like we've gotten to a big milestone in this pregnancy. I've read somewhere that triplets can still be in danger until then because of the stress on the uterus growing so fast. And I've been growing! Here's my latest belly picture from tonight. Aren't they cute? I can't wait to see how cute they are in person! :)

You might recognize the shirt I'm wearing as the one McKenzie wore in the picture on my last post. Both of our Mom's got them for us. I was sad I didn't have mine to wear when I saw her so we could match! That would have been fun.

Love, Elizabeth

Lazy Evening

Well, I've spent most of my evening in my nice recliner. It's piling up snow outside and it's very pretty. I've been feeling the babies so much lately, I just feel bad I can't share this with Dan yet. I can tell which one it is and that's really cool! I feel Baby C the least because he's across the top and I usually have to be still and conscentrating.

Dan and I spent the weekend working on getting this household of two ready for a family of five! I guess it's kind of like the country song, "We're two of a kind workin' on a full house." We wondered if we'd ever have children to fill our rooms, we never dreamed we'd do it all at once! Anyway, we have one of the spare rooms upstairs mostly cleaned out and have to move on to the office. We had 3 1/2 years of filling every nook and cranny with our junk. It will be sort of a clutter relief to have a reason to sort through and reorganize. I love organizing and Dan hates it. I'm not so great at the upkeep of a system, but Dan likes to get things back in there space, so we're a great team.

We have a nursery set picked out and we're planning on just one nursery right now. If there is a fussy baby (IF... ha!) that needs to be seperated then there will be a place in the other room. BUT, we tried to be smart and have a place for nighttime help (if it's volunteered) to sleep upstairs too. I can't wait to get the office cleaned out and started setting up baby stuff. I love the crib set we picked out. Here's a picture:


Obviously that's not our nursery but you can see the design. There are Mommy animals with their babies. We decided we could do a "Noah's Ark" theme to go with it. We'll worry about making a boys room and girl room when they are old enough to care and are probably out of cribs. (Boy they are moving! Maybe that means they are fine with the idea.)

I'm also going to post a picture of my best friend McKenzie and me when I saw her in January. I was 17 weeks along and she was 32 weeks. I think we look alarmingly similar in size. Of course I have a triple load, but I fear what my 32nd week will look like. Here we are: (Hope you don't mind Kenzie :))


Anyway, enough for tonight. Keep all of us in your prayers! Thanks!

Love, Elizabeth

18w6d Ultrasound

Hello everyone! Welcome to the Nebelsick family blog! I never thought I would become a "blogger" but I want a way for everyone who loves our babies to be able to keep up with the latest news. If you feel we haven't updated this enough, send us an email request to get busy!

We had an awesome ultrasound yesterday. The doctor said everything looked perfect and we are all doing really well. All three are very active and it was so fun to see them. Our biggest news is we're having a boy(A), another boy(C) and a GIRL (B)! You'll have to settle for calling them by their letters until their born because we're waiting to announce their names until then. We have to save some sort of surprise!

Baby A was hard to get pictures of yesterday. He was curled up tight underneath his brother and sister. We have some good ones of the other two though. We had some sweet moments where we saw Baby C's foot kicking near Baby A. Then Baby A reached up and put his hand on his brothers foot. The membrane was between them but it was very cool. We know they are playing with each other already! We also had a couple of views that looked like Baby B was giving her brother (C) a kiss on the head. We just can't wait to meet them! (But of course we actually can... we want them in there as long as possible!)

The doctor said the kids we all a great size for their age. A-10 oz., B-9 oz. and C-11 oz. They didn't measure length but they should be around 6 inches from head to rump.

I know these may be hard to see. I never knew what I was looking at with ultrasounds until now. Good luck interpreting them! Please keep praying for everyone's health and Dan's sanity! He's been working so hard to keep everything going around here as I get less and less capable. He's wonderful.

Love, Elizabeth
