	Time Passes
	A year ago tonight, my friend Lauren came and visited me in the hospital and took the last pregnancy belly shot of me that was going to be taken before I delivered my three babies. I dragged myself out of bed and put on real clothes to get this picture. I gave myself a demand dose of terbutaline to get me through the night because the contractions that resulted from that little bit of exertion were unbearable - but so worth it to get this last picture. Tomorrow at 9:43 and 9:44am, my babies my babies will have been in this world for an entire year. I just can't believe it. Tomorrow I'll post more about the triplets' first birthday. Once I figure out what to say. For now... I'm at a total loss for words.

I totally posted other belly pictures. I just never posted this final one because I was in the hospital when it was taken, so I had no way to post it.

(yep - I posted one here: http://estherchaya.livejournal.com/357914.html

and one here: http://estherchaya.livejournal.com/359379.html )

Thanks for finally posting the belly pic.

Man, the rest of you is so little that you look like you've got somehting under your shirt. A pumpkin, perhaps.

Congratulations on their first year!
Happy Birthday Elli, Sam & Abby!

I know I posted at least one other belly picture (maybe 27 or 30 weeks?), but I never posted this last one because I was in the hospital when it was taken.

They were due in November - had they been a full term singleoton, they'd have been born in November.

How big was Levi when he was born? My three babies combined only weighed 10.5 pounds. Some singletons are that big. Remember I was only 7 months pregnant there, and I'd also LOST 30 pounds during my pregnancy.

No, I never in a billion years thought I'd be a triplet mom. Never. Never ever.

i know :) but i get HUGE when pregnant. it's not cool :( levi was 9/15. so it wasnt that big. but yeah.

i dont know many people who could have handled triplets as graciously as you have :)

if Levi was 9/15, he was only 9 ounces smaller than my three babies COMBINED. So he was a big baby. I didn't have huge triplets, remember. Sam and Ellie were exactly average, and Abby was way below average (she was IUGR - intrauterine growth restricted).

Thank you, Shelly. You're very sweet.
