Getting my Grove Back: 20 weeks 1 day

Today was a much better day! I was able to get a few things done, with out any pain or contractions. The kids were much better today. They napped from 1pm - 3pm and Sister Rogers picked them up at 3:30 pm and brought them home at 6:20pm, she showed up with Lasagna for us, for diner! I had already put something in the crock pot this morning, so the lasagna went in the fridge for tomorrow night. It was a very nice gesture. It's great to have some help on the days when Rex is not here. Last night I tried to sleep in the recliner. Rex moved it all the way back to the bedroom, next to the bed... I tried to sleep. It didn't hurt my hips like sleeping on the bed, but I couldn't lay it all the way back cause it was harder to breath with the babies up in my diaphragm. So I put the back up more and that strained my neck on the right side. I ended up moving to the bed at 1 am. What's crazy is, I slept really well, with no hip pain. I don't get it. Poor Rex moved the chair for nothing. What a good guy, I sure love him.
Tomorrow I have a doctors appointment with Doctor Bowen, he is my regular OB/GYN. He works hand in hand with my Perinatologist Dr. Watson. I am anxious to hear all of the babies heart beats tomorrow. I have only felt baby A and B move in the last 2 days. It's hard trying to keep track of the movements though... especially with three of them. Anyway, it is late and I need my rest. I will blog more tomorrow after we get the update from Dr. Bowen.

I love your blog.

What an exciting time for you all! I would totally be over helping out if we were closer...but if there is anything I can do from further away, just let me know!

Your kids are adorable! You are such a good Mama. :)

Thanks Stina, you are so sweet. You are just as I remember you. Things are going well for us right now, and I am optimistic that God will provide helpers. :) I will let you know if there is anything, but your kind emails have been great. Love ya.

About Aleece

I was born in Reno Nv. on June 14th 1981 to Jeaneen and Tony Sobrio. I am the oldest of 6 kids. I graduated from Washoe High, in Reno, NV. I have some of my degree at Snow College, but now I am a stay at home mom (and I love it... No better place for me!) Rex and I are parents to 5 beautiful children; Seth, Madison, Alex, Zachary and Riley. Seth turned 5 years old just 3 weeks before the triplets were born. We have had an exited and eventful life. So many hard trials over come, and many more we are still working on. If you read below about my husband, Rex, you will learn a little about him and his endeavors at this time. It is hard having him gone for so long, and we miss him. I have had to pull strength from a place I wasn't sure I had. After he had been gone exactly one month, I broke down in my first tears. Rex's mom was there to hug me and a dear friend took the kids while I got a little break. I have been doing much better since that break down, and I anticipate another sob fest is in the works when we all get to see him again at Christmas. Just so you all know, Rex and I choose this path because he need to finish what he started before the triplets were a factor. He needs his law degree to provide well. I need him to provide well, to allow for me stay home, where I want to be, for our children.
I love music, and crafts. I sew a lot too. Okay, I used to do those things a lot more than I do now. ;-)

My favorite quote is: “No success can compensate for failure in the home.” President David O. McKay.

About Rex

Go Ducks! Need I say more?
Okay Rex says that fits him well, but I will write a little something for him. Rex Graduated from the University of Oregon in June this year with a bachelor of Science, Political Science Major, and minors in Business Administration, and Economics. Rex is a hard worker. He got great grades, and on top of full time school, he worked part time, has five kids, and a demanding wife (not!) Rex is currently enrolled at Baltimore University School of Law, in Maryland. This was the only school he was accepted to inside an area he was familiar with. See Rex served a mission for the church in Maryland from 2000- 2002. The Brown's (a very nice family from Rex's mission) offered Rex a place to live while he finishes his first year of law school there in Maryland. After the first year we hope he can transfer to another school nearer family. If not, the kids and I will move out there. The reasons why the kids and I didn't go with him now are mostly monetary. It would just cost too much to move again so soon. We had to move 2 months before he found out what schools he was accepted to for law school. So we are sealed into a lease at our new place, with the option to break it, but not with out penalties, penalties we can't afford. So here we are...

The great thing is that Rex is doing well at school, I am holding together better than most thought I would, and we talk to him every day either by phone or Skype. I send him lots of texts with pictures or videos of the kids. It's hard on a man to be away from his kids, so I try to keep him in the loop on every little thing they do. We miss him a lot. Can hardly wait until Christmas! My husband is a stellar guy. So glad we have each other, forever.
