21 Weeks

We've made it another week!!! Praise the Lord...

Anatomy Scan / Level 2 - October 21st, 2013
I had my Level 2 scan (also known as the Anatomy Scan). The usual length of time it takes is about 45 minutes to an hour for one baby. My scan took almost 4 hours! They measured everything!!!! They measured fingers, hands, toes, ankles, femur, head, brain, heart, kidneys etc. Each baby gave us a run for our money on certain parts and therefore I have to go back in two weeks for another scan but all in all they all look great! They are growing well and at 11 ounces already! I can't believe how big and human like they look now. We can confirm that they are all girls indeed. Over all the appointment went very well and for the first time since the beginning of this pregnancy I left smiling with good news!

Baby Names
So Tito and I thought that we should share the names as they are official! Each name was picked out personally by the two of us and for very special reasons. Baby A is Hadassah. Hadassah means one who brings joy and deliverance. We have chosen this name from years ago. I have always loved the story of Esther/Hadassah and everything she stood for. After our long long long journey of trying to conceive Hadassah came along and delivered us from the dry land of no conception and has brought us so much joy already! Baby B is Isabella. Isabella means oath of God; promise of God. The Bible says the no child of God (woman of God) shall be barren! Children are an inheritance and are promised by God! I was promised my children over 3 years ago and here they are! We also love this name because it incorporates my grandmother's name Isabel. Baby C is Cianna. Cianna means for God is gracious! And boy has He been nothing but gracious! We can't wait to meet our baby girls! Here they are at 20 weeks and 5 days:

Work Baby Shower

I had my work baby shower yesterday, October 22, 2013. I was blessed with many gifts for the girls. It was such an awesome turn out considering my line of work! My unit did such a great job decorating and providing snacks and goodies to everyone. One of my co-workers took pictures at the shower so I have to wait for her to send them to me. But I did get two pictures of some of the gifts I got. 

Teethers, toys, bibs, head bands, booties and hair clips, pampers, wipes, detergent.

Bath items, Converse booties, blankets, wipe travel holder, bottle cleaner etc.

Sleepers and Onesies!!!! One of the onuses says "someday my prince will come."

Tito said, "not for a long time." LOL

Blessings All Around
Yesterday I got a call that someone has "taken care" of all three of my cribs! I don't know who the person is as they want it to be a surprise but I'm so very thankful and grateful! I couldn't stop crying yesterday. God is good all the time and he always supplies our needs! Whoever you are, I'm sure I'll know soon, THANK YOU!!!! I've also been blessed by many friends who are passing down their daughters clothes and baby items. I'm so so so so so grateful! Keep them coming ;)

Overall Feelings
I'm feeling well. I'm much more tired then usual and finding it hard to move around for a long period of time. I'm in some pain which I'm not sure what it is caused by. I can't tell if its my bone or muscle but I'm calling it in either way. Keep us in your prayers.

What's Coming Up Next
My maternity photo shoot is this Saturday! We are all so excited!!!!!

Here's my belly shot for 21 weeks:
