Hospitalized - DAY 18

It looks like I will really be a permanent resident at the hospital until the babies arrive. I am 32 weeks and 3 days pregnant. Originally we hoped I would make it until 33 weeks. The doctor thinks I may be able to last a couple more weeks which would be much better for the babies, of course.

At this point all we know is that the babies will likely come sometime between Sept 3 and Sept 30.

We are starting to gather volunteers. Please contact us if you are interested in volunteering to help with the babies or other things like cooking a meal.

Latest Baby Weights

I have been in hospitalized all week. It looks like I will be here until I deliver. The good news is that everything is fine with the triplets. I had an ultrasound today and the babies are all very big!

Baby A 3 lb 10 oz
Baby B 3 lb 14 oz
Baby C 3 lb 9 oz

Strict Bedrest

I have been in the hospital twice this week. I went in Thursday with contractions and they kept me overnight. I needed to return Saturday, again with contractions. Luckily I only needed to stay for the evening. I am now on strict bedrest at home. (earlier I was on bedrest, but allowed to get up at times) If I can make it at least another 3 weeks until I deliver the babies would be 33 weeks, and would have a great prognosis. More would be better. In the meantime, I am very uncomfortable and I cannot really do anything except wait.

Thanks to Karen D. and Shelly D. for bringing meals this week. I cannot cook anymore and as many of you know I have a whole tribe over here to feed. I am grateful for all of you are are praying for us. The babies are doing very well.
