Our doctor's appointment on Thursday, Nov. 27 (day 5 of week 27) was as good as we could have hoped for. My preterm labor continues so I'm still on bedrest. The doctor says I'm progressing like an "average" triplet pregnancy, which sounds good to us! The good news is that for now, I can at least stay home and out of the hospital.
The boys are growing and they've all maintained their original growth curves.
Austin - 2 lbs., 6 oz.
Brady - 2 lbs., 4 oz.
Chase - 2 lbs., 8 oz.
We were able to see Chase's face during the ultrasound and he has chubby cheeks or as we call them "Couture Cheeks!" His brothers weren't facing forward so there wasn't much to see besides the back of their heads and spines.
I've officially graduated to using a chair in the shower. Thanks to a family friend who loaned it to us, I'm able to languish in the shower now and not feel guilty for being on my feet. So thank you, Mrs. Collins, for the seat!
The good news is, despite my lack of activity, Dan seems to be safe from gaining sympathy weight! We took this at the beginning of Week 27. 
Week 28 is starting out well. I feel a little more tired and it's certainly getting harder to lug this belly around, but overall, I can't really complain. As a friend of mine put it recently, the last week of pregnancy is always tough and from now on, every one of my weeks will be like that. But, we will persevere and make it as long as we can! So, who says the nursery isn't getting any use yet? One of our cats, Koka, has found the perfect napping spot - the changing table! It really is a cat's dream and even has a view! Not to worry, we're rewashing the changing pad cover but really, it's better than her sleeping in one of the cribs!

Hi there Becca & Dan - I just read the blog. I'm just amazed at the ultrasounds. Glad you're doing so well, albeit bed-ridden. With your spirit, this will be a successful little family! FYI - I've been watching "Jon & Kate Plus 8" and thinking of you. What fun you're going to have! xx, Judy Hanley (aka Aunt Judy :)
Thank you, thank you, thank you for letting us share in this most special time of your lives! You are still the prettiest girl in the class of '96. Love and prayers, Kathy Headrick
My cousin sent me a link to your blog and I just wanted to say God bless you and your beautiful boys!! We spent some time in the NICU with our son and he is thriving. Almost one and a half now and doing so well. The NICU can be a daunting experience and downright scary at times, but each day is a day closer to coming home, just always remember that. GOD BLESS!!!
