Today is a huge milestone for us!!! 24 weeks is the point of viability. At this point if the babies were born, they would have some percentage of survival. They would have issues and delays and be hospitalized for an extremely long time, but they would have a chance. Our next big milestone is 28 weeks, then 32 (which is typical gestation for triplets), then 36 (which is my goal). At this point, every minute, day, week in the oven keeps these little buns cookin' and growin'.
This week Dave moved us back into our room. We're creating a "baby bunker". We basically filling our room with everything I'll need so I don't have to leave. He's put in a TV (we're still waiting on the digital converter thingee), an AC, a humidifier, and pretty soon a mini fridge and a potty! Once I'm done with school next week, I'm putting myself in lockdown. If you need me, I'll be in the bunker!!!
This week also, I've come down with something. I've got a sore throat and am extremely congested. I'm not sure if it's a cold or allergies or what, but I'm moderately miserable and not being able to take anything (or refusing to take something) isn't making it any better.
We (and by "we" I mean Dave) still have some work to do upstairs to get everything ready for the babies. Eli's currently in their room while Dave redoes his "baby" room into a "big boy" room. We hope to have him moved back in before he starts school. Dave's only got limited time where he works full time and has to wait on me hand and foot when he gets home. He pretty much gets most of his work done while Eli and I are asleep. Good thing he can run on 5 hours of sleep!

Congratulations!! Big step!!! Hoping summer school goes by quickly. I can't imagine teaching while pregnant with triplets! "Great work!" to your husband for taking such good care of you.
