All 3 of the babies heads in a row
Baby Boy C being calm for a second
Had a quick check-up this morning to check on the blood flow through the cord for Baby B and Baby C. Baby B came back as normal, which was great to hear. Baby C would measure normal and then his flow would be low, and then it would measure normal again, and then low. The doctor said that she is sure everything with Baby C is just fine, he is just really, really active so it’s hard to get a good reading from him. I also found out the source of the pain I have been feeling under my right rib cage these past couple weeks as well, Baby C is kicking them so much he is bruising my ribs! Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done to get him to move, as there isn’t much more room for him to go, but hopefully some day he will be a famous soccer player or something to make up for it =) Our doctor also informed me that we will be reaching our first goal of 23 weeks next Friday, which means that if they were to be born after next Friday the 23rd, they would definitely be able to make it, but with a lot of medical help and a very long hospital stay. My goal is still to make it to December 1st, but we will see if these babies think otherwise! I have another long appt next Weds, with more measurements of the babies and the dreaded diabetes testing. Fingers crossed we pass the first one, as I definitely do not want to have to sit there an extra 3 hours if we don’t pass!
Shawn and I had our first multiples birthing class last night, which turned out to be very interesting. Out of the 11 couples that were there, only 2 of us are having triplets while the rest are having twins. It just shows that having triplets truly is a one of a kind experience, and a blessing that we can’t be happier to be having! The babies are all definitely kicking more and more. You can see it a lot more as well as feel it, so it will be interesting to see what my belly looks like in the next month or so after they are bigger and moving around a lot more.
We had a great shower up north with the Roy family at the cabin this Labor Day Wknd. It is truly amazing how wonderful and generous everyone has been in helping us get ready for these babies to come! They are very spoiled that’s for sure! I am hoping to start working on the nursery rooms these next couple of weeks, as we got a call last Friday to inform us that the cribs are in, so I went and got the paint and am ready to get these rooms organized!
Thank you again so much for everyone’s prayers and well wishes! We appreciate them more than you will ever know!
Love,
B+3
