Week 31 and Counting!!!

Geeta is doing really well and the babies are growing very healthily. In fact they are much larger than we thought they would be at this stage and they have a good chance of cracking the 4lbs mark, which is really good for triplet babies. Arya Bella is estimated to be 3 lbs 9oz, while her two nameless brothers are thought to be 3lbs 6 oz, and 3 lbs 14 oz respectively. Yes – they are still nameless but we are close to choosing their names. Mommy is starting to have practice contractions, also known as Braxton Hicks contractions, which are quite normal at this stage but serve as a friendly reminder that things could happen at anytime.

Last week we got a 3D ultrasound video done, which was a huge disappointment. The babies are so squished together that you can’t really see anything. We’ll try to post a clip of it in our next posting. We also finished our pre-natal classes...thank god!

We thought it would be interesting to take a poll. Give us your best guess (poll on top right of page). What week will Geeta deliver in?

Geeta and I really are hoping to get the long weekend together before the babies come – it could be our last one alone for some time! We’re thinking about all the fun things we could do next weekend. This past weekend, our good friends, Rob and Amanda visited us from Ottawa. It was really nice to have some fun after so many weekends of hard work preparing for the little ones.

I’m continuing to ‘enhance’ my cooking skills, which is quite funny for many of our friends who know how much I hate cooking….but the truth is I’m not minding it all that much. I can’t make anything fancy but I’m getting better! Geeta insisted I post a picture of my cooking activities to prove it; so here it is.

Keep you posted – the next few weeks promise to be very exciting. We’re getting really excited about meeting our little angels that keep poking us at night. Some pics from this morning.
