You can guess what happened next; RIP my dear sweet phone. It's fried! So, the next day, Tom decided to leave me his Blackberry to use until a new phone I ordered arrived. Obviously, he doesn't want me to be without communication in case one of the babies' water breaks, etc... Much to my surprise, he accidentially left the Blackberry on "lock mode".
I e-mailed Tom and while he gave me a password to unlock the phone it wasn't working! After several failed attempts the Blackberry suddenly says, "ERASING ALL DATA"! Ahhhh! So, there goes Tom's phone too (he'll have to reload all contacts, etc...). Yikes! I'm one crazy pregnant woman, destroying everything in my path! I feel terrible about it all! Sorry Tom!So, while we're on the subject, I thought I'd share some other crazy ramblings about my time on bed rest. These are things I know I'll look back and laugh at (let's hope). First, a look at what's left of the pants my friend Pam gave me. Yes, they're a size large with an elastic waist, but somehow, some way, I managed to destroy the elastic with my triplet belly! The pants truly look larger than life! Hmmm... so what does that say about me?
Lastly, I couldnt' help but get a laugh out of this one; we thought a "bedside potty" would be a good idea since I have a hard time walking to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Not to mention, I'm supposed to be on my feet AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE! So, Tom went shopping and look at what he brought back... Well, let's just say, a 180 lb pregnant woman trying to sit on a wastebasket just doesn't quite work. His heart was in the right place. Next time we'll hit the medical supply store for a real commode.
Other than all of these "laughable" moments all is well with the babies and their crazed mom. I am just days away from that 32 week milestone and continue to hope and pray that we make it there. After that, my doctor says, "everything else is gravy". Come on babies!Also, tonight are the New York Emmy Awards (a BIG honor in the world of television) and I have several nominations! I'm bummed that I can't attend the ceremony but wouldn't it be cool if I won an Emmy just before giving birth to this trio? Just think, I'd be an Emmy Award Winning Triplet Mom. Quite a title if you ask me!

Your stories are hilarious. If you can throw a cell phone in a glass of water, then you should definitely win the Emmy!

Oh, the wastebasket is hysterical! I mean, it IS a WASTEbasket! But Tom... women aren't made quite like men for these sorts of needs!
And the pants... well, you must save those!
The phone is a different story... I can't go to the bathroom (or the wastebasket) without mine.
And Courtney!... do tell ALL about your Emmy nominations! What an honor! Hearty, HUGE congrats!
And we at Pinks & Blues are pulling for those 32 weeks...
You look so beautiful!

Too funny... Tom's whole idea was that I take the top off the wastebasket to use it as a commode. Still, I think you're right... the whole thing would be so much more suited to a man's bathroom habits. LOL.
My husband recently had a similar incident with his blackberry... what a disaster it was!! I had no idea that it would erase all the data! I felt a little better knowing that it wasn't ME that erased it, but boy was he sad... AND It happened the day before we left for our trip to Puerto Rico!! EEK!!
Looking good btw, keep up the good work...and stop throwing phones! :)
How did the Emmy's go?
ROFL That is too funny.
Did you win an Emmy? That would be fantastic!
