As one would expect with triplets, everything that happens is magnified including the constant nausea and exhaustion (obviously totally worth it). We decided it was time to begin taking weekly belly shots so everyone far away can watch as my belly increases expontentially over time. This week, the largest part of my belly was already up to 35 inches.
As most triplets spend some time in a NICU, we knew it was important to be selective about our hospital. Thankfully we live in the third largest city in the country and have plenty of options. We toured the nearby hospital NICU and Brant went to tour the University of Chicago NICU. Turns out when you tell people you are having triplets, they are more than willing to give you a special tour. While at UofC, the nurse told Brant they were delivering two sets of triplets that day. All the sudden, we weren't THAT odd. After discussing the benefits of a nearby hospital versus a hospital 15 miles away but better resources/facilities, we decided to go University of Chicago as our hospital. If there was ever a time to sacrifice convenience, this was it.
