up to the minute report

I just got back from a sonogram. The baby that is smaller seems to have a bit of restriction to his cord. Hence the lack of growth. They are now going to put him on the fetal monitor for an hour in the morning and an hour at night. If there are any signs of struggle, I will be sent down for a sonogram and the doctor will reassess. We are just taking it day by day now. Also he seems to think only two are identical and one is a singleton. I don't care......I just want them healthy.

The doctor weighed the babies today.....2 lbs 1 oz, 2 lbs 7 oz, and 2 lbs 12 oz. He is a little concerned about the smaller one and will start doing sonograms twice a week now. He did grow some since the last weigh in but not nearly as much as the other 2. We are not in panic mode just yet! Just keeping a close eye out for growth. In other news......I have gone into labor two times this week and they have given me medicine to stop it.....so far that has worked and we are thankful that I am in the hospital at this point. Better to be here than at home obviously!

I want to again thank everyone for their love and support.
Love to all.

Out of my room!

I was allowed out of my room today! Mom and Dad took me for a ride in a wheel chair outside for 20 whole minutes. The fresh air was wonderful. The nurse took my blood pressure when I got back to the room and all was normal. So they will let me out again soon. A friend of mind is coming in on Tuesday to have a scheduled C-section so I may get wheeled down to visit her! I hope the doctor checks the babies by sonogram tomorrow, check in for a new report!

The weigh in!

The doctor just came in and took me to weigh the babies. Here goes in A B C order. 2lb 2oz, 1lb 14oz, and 2lb even.

One week down

Well I have been on hospital bed rest for a little over a week now. The nurses and all the staff up here are great. The food is actually pretty good. Although any time anyone wants to bring in a meal.....I won't argue!!! My blood pressure has been stable since my arrival. Just goes to show how good bed rest can be. The down side is I miss the heck out of Ethan and Rob. I do get the occasional visits though. All the love and support from friends and family has been so wonderful and I have to really thank everyone for that. Thank you to all who have come to see me and called to check on me, really THANKS! My doctor is out of town until Wednesday so I may not have any sugnificant updates on the babies until then. Keep tuning in!

Hospital

For those of you who don't know.....I am in the hospital. The doctor wants me on bed rest here and close monitoring for high blood pressure and signs of Preeclampsia. I feel good and the blood pressure has gone down since I have been taking it easy. I have my own room and the food is not too bad. I am in the Jones building at Harris Downtown. For those of you who know me call Rob to get the room number and phone number. You can call Jerry and Sylvia or Melissa too!
There is no limit on the visiting hours and I am always in my room.

October 4th

Hey guys! I have to go to the doctor tomorrow to take a 3 hour diabetes test, I failed the one hour so just to be sure it wasn't a false positive they do this longer one. Plus the doctor wanted to give me a complete check up and he will tell me if I have to be admitted to the hospital.
Hopefully I will get to come home and post the good news....otherwise I hope the hospital has Internet access!

October 2nd

Well guys....a bit of bad news from the doctor today....he is talking about putting me in the hospital for the rest of the pregnancy. I will know something on Thursday or Friday. I had some tests done this morning and along with high blood pressure he is worried about pre-eclampsia. Of course I will keep you all posted and I will add some sonogram pictures tomorrow morning.
