Half way point - Week 17

As soon as I found out I was carrying triplets I was aware of the fact I would not reach a full term pregnancy of 40 weeks id be lucky to carry to 34 even but that is the goal I have in mind and the goal the doctors want me to reach in order of us having higher chances of less complications. So this was my unoffical half way point and I was thinking back over the last 13 weeks from when we found out and could not believe how much of the journey was already done. I was hoping that with the morning sickness almost under control (only 3-4 times approx a week that mornings were spent in the toilet!!!) I was going to be able to enjoy it a lot more. I was generally feeling ok, I had also come to terms with the fact that 'the pregnancy glow' others speak of is not applying to me as my skin had never been so imflamed in my life and had also spread onto my chest and a little bit on back. (Sorry I know its yuk but at this point with having bearly any morning sickness once the anti-nausea had kicked in it didnt bother me so much). Also another pregnancy myth is that your hair will grow lovely and thick... Mine was the complete opposite and I think Kane is becoming rather concerned about the amount of hair I lose daily and often comments to me that I may need to get a wig ... I bloody well hope not! Emptying my hair brush 3-4 times a week and just running my fingers or a comb through my hair clumps literally fall out. Still I was managing to cope with this and just hope like hell after the pregnancy it will grow back!!


My energy levels had returned I was able to help out with the house chores once again, so I could cook dinner and help Kane with the cleaning. I was also working full time so felt like everything was going okay, I just kept telling myself this isnt so bad hopefully it stays like this for a while. I think this is the point in a single pregnancy when you start to pop out and notice a wee belly, well mine was far from little although I was comfortable and enjoying being pregnant, I couldnt believe that I would say that especially after the last few months.

We also had a 21st to attend for one of my girlfriends at work, Kari. It was a on boat and was to finish at 12, although I had my energy back I was always in bed around the 8pm mark.. So I was wondering how I was going to cope. On the night it was lots of fun getting dressed up my first outfit which I had planned on wearing didnt fit :( It was way to tight and looked stupid... So I just settled for leggings and a blazer I felt comfortable and was ready to rock the party.. Sober! Kane had come along too, although not having a night out in ages was drinking his beers like no tomorrow. We all had a really good night, was so funny watching the drunkeness and just thinking I wont miss that hangover tomorrow. By 11pm my back was killing me and I was trying everything to get comfortable, luckily the last of it went pretty quickly and after a McD's stop we got home round half 1 and Kane half joed in the car stumbled to bed and I was exhausted. Was worth the night out as I know once my 3 little bubbas arrive our social life will be minimal for quite some time.
