Here are the lovely pictures of my belly. These are from last night, so close enough to 18 weeks. I'd say I'm getting a little pudgy ;) I think I've gained about 17lbs so far. I feel good though!
So, we went for an ultrasound last Thursday (17 weeks). Everything looked good with the babies with estimated weights for Baby A (6 oz), Baby B (7oz) and Baby C (8oz). The weights are just estimates, but she did say that Baby C does look a little chunkier than other 2. Heartbeats were good too - 143 bpm, 147 bpm, and 133 bpm, respectively. September 20 is still my last day of work....after last week, it can't come too soon. Only 12 more days!! Yippee! It will be a much needed break, although, I'm sure I'll still be busy preparing for the new babies, giving Alli tons of attention, then taking care of the new babies (and Alli). I'll be ready to go back to work part-time hopefully about April.
For those of you who can't read ultrasounds :0) Baby A is face down in the first one--nice spine shot! The second picture is of a leg, and the third, the baby finally turned around to look at us.
Next is Baby B-obviously not like his/her mother, who loves the camera. We always have a hard time getting pictures of this one. The first one is the baby's face and then you can see both legs together. The second picture is just an arm. 
Baby C - first pic is baby looking at us, second pic is a head profile, and third pic is the back of head showing us the ears.
I apologize for the crappy scan job---this was my first time and I need some more practice! Jim is going to try to fix it for me.
Other stuff going on....
Jim started painting the kitchen this weekend and cut the grass, put some mulch down. Things are starting to come together (a little). We have been collecting lots of hand me downs and the garage is getting so full! Not sure how we are all going to fit in this house!
Jim's parents (Lynn & Jim) celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary on 8/5/07. The whole family went out to dinner in Springfield. It was a lot of fun. Happy Anniversary!
Cody, Kelly, Kenzie, Jim, and Alli
We had two showers in August....Gina was surprised and Katie was too, although I don't have any pics from Katie's to post. Here is Gina looking pretty surprised! Gina is due 10/14 and Katie is due 10/8. Can't wait for the new additions to our family to arrive.
Jim went to Michigan for a wedding and to visit his buddy Guido. Alli and I didn't have too much fun when he was gone...we really missed him!
Alli practiced being a big sister with her baby doll. She was being so cute!
She even took baby for a ride on the Elmo car!
One more milestone...she learned how to use a bar of soap on her own. We can't get her out of the bathtub now. At least she is clean, right??

What a cute big sister she will be. Soon you should know the gender of the babes, right? Or did I forget already? Perhaps you don't want to know? Glad to hear all is well.
That last message was really from Billy.
You can really see that you worked out before the pregnancy. You can still see your stomach muscles. The doctor was right when she said you were in shape. You look awesome. I am really looking forward to you guys coming down this weekend. Love ya, Jackie
Hooray for an update! I have been wondering how you are all doing and happy to hear that things are progressing nicely. I'm sure your last 2 weeks of work won't go by quickly enough!
Hey, Guys! Enjoyed viewing the pics...Ali is getting soooo big and cute. I have tons of baby clothes if you are in need of some--most barely worn. We are getting rid of most of our baby stuff, so let me know what you will be needing. Glad that things are coming together. We will have to scrap soon.

Great tan line Alli
Love Grandma
Sounds like things are progressing well. With you being in such great shape you should have no problem making to and past the 32 week mark.
Keep up the good resting!! :) Can't wait to meet 'em.
