Still hangin' in there!

Just a quick note to let everyone know that we are still hanging in there!! Went to my OB last Thursday & everything was still the same, no more dilating (still at a 1-2 cm) or severe cramping, blood pressure was perfect, I still have only gained 5 lbs total & my 1-hr glucose test was perfect (so no diabetes!). I have been really trying hard to lay around alot more, & my parents, Justin's parents, & my wonderful sister are all AWESOME for all the help they are giving, and of course my wonderful hubby for putting up with me because I know I have not been to nice these past couple of weeks. It is just so hard for me to be dependable on people because I am so independent & like to do things myself that way I don't feel obliged to owe anybody anything. I was 28 weeks on Friday so we hit our first major mile stone!! YEAH!! So nothing exciting going on this week, except that I am having my baby shower on Saturday. I am waaaaay excited!! Then next week I go back & see my OB & the high risk doc (where we will get another growth sono to see how the babies are growing). So that is basically it for now. I will post sometime next week after all my appointments.......
Until next time,
Take Care!!!

27 weeks, barely hangin' & scared.......

I have never been so miserable in my life (so far!). A whole lot, yet a whole lot of nothing has gone on since my last blog. I seen my OB on the 9th of this month & he said my cervix had dropped and was softer than at my last visit & that Baby A (Addisyn) was hanging out pretty low. YIKES! So he said I need to stay laying down as much as possible.....does he know how impossible that is???? So, I arranged for someone to take my son to daycare & to pick him up so that was less getting out that I would have to do. The past couple of days & have been having a lot of braxton hicks contractions & pressure & spams down below, soooo I called him today & he had me come in so he could check me. Well, he said that my cervix had thinned even more & I was dilated to 1cm, close to a 2 & that he could feel the top of Addisyn's head, but they all looked good when he did a spot check with the sono machine. So, he called my high risk perinatologist & I got a shot of betamethasone (steroid) & I go back on Monday for another one. Then I have my regular scheduled check up on Thursday. I am just a little freaked out since I am only 27 weeks today. So, I am basically on full bedrest until the girls arrive. It is just sooooo umcomfortable no matter what I do. I flop from side to side (like a beached whale! HA! HA!), have tons of pillows around me & nothing helps, plus I am being kicked from all different directions because the girls don't like me laying on my sides. I feel so guilty though because I am being selfish & I want them out because I am so miserable, but I want them to stay in as long as possible because they need to. Is that wrong of me to feel that way?? Sooo, all I can do is hurry up & wait & pray that everything goes well. I have been bad about keeping up with weekly pictures & I am not a big fan of "naked belly" pics since I am fat to begin with, but here are the most recent ones that I have taken.

26 weeks 3 days

27 weeks (not that good of a pic)

You will have to excuse the lovely "lingerie" attire! LOL! But it is the only thing that I seem to be comfortable in now days.

But, on a lighter note, last weekend was Easter & it was Bradyn's first year to hunt Easter eggs. He was soo cute & it didn't take him long to get the hang of it. After all the eggs were hunted, all he wanted to do was sit down & play with his eggs. He is so easily entertained!

Bradyn & his daddy hanging out

He found one!!

Checking out his goods......

Well, that is it for now! Back to bed to gestate!

Until next time,

Take Care!!!

Long Time, No Post

Okay so it has been a while since I posted, but honestly, I haven't had anything really to post...that is..... Until today! We are 25 weeks today, we reached viability! YEAH!!! I went to my high risk doctor yesterday & everything looked good. I was 24 w 6 d yesterday & my sono tech was able to get all the anatomy on all 3 babies one way or the other! They all looked good & are growing according to my dates. All 3 babies are still girls & we have names picked out for them.....sooooooooo here are a few sono pics with their stats from yesterday......

"Baby A": Addisyn Sue

Weight: 1lb. 10 oz

Measuring @ 25w 3d

She had her arm bent with her hand up by her ear. It was hard to get good pics of her because she was on the very bottom & was being "shadowed" by her sisters. :( So this is the only good shot we got of her.

"Baby B": Braylea Ann

Weight: 1 lb 12 oz

Measuring: 24w 6d

Just a profile pic of her, she didn't want to stay still for nothing!

"Baby C": Jayci Nicole

Weight: 1 lb 12 oz

Measuring: 25w 1d

She was sucking her thumb in this pic.....so cute!

I also thought this picture was neat, she was able to get all 3 of the tops of their heads in one shot since they are all head down for the moment. (No wonder my hips are killing me!!) And she is also an artist! HA! HA! She drew me a little diagram to show how they were laying, so I thought I would share it to.....

Of course I am still seeing my regular OB every 2 weeks & everything is holding up as it should. I still have only gained 4 lbs throughout the whole pregnancy, all baby of course. I go back & see him next Thursday. Otherwise we have been working on the girls' nursery & getting their room ready (or should I say that I have been staying on top of the hubster to get it done!). It looks funny with 3 cribs in there! Bradyn walked in there the other day and came out of the room looking at me and pointing towards the beds with a question look on his face saying "Wook! Wook! (Look, Look)" like he was trying to say, "What is going on here!!". Of course I have to include a picture of my lil man, he was trying to help his poppi & his daddy put up wall border in the girls room over this past weekend by carrying around his poppi's toolbox......he is growing up so fast!!

But, that is about it for now. I am just continuing to sit around & "gestate" (as my mom puts it!) and keep these babies as long as possible!

Until next time,

Take Care!!
