This week the babies turned 20...weeks and I turned 40...years! Wow! The above picture is of Baby B, middle boy, from the 3D/4D image, really cool! We have a bunch more buy I have to figure out how to get them to post on here...
Katie and I went to our high risk OBGYN Dr. Zaretsky this morning for our 20 week check up. We checked weights, measurements, the baby's hearts and Katie's cervix. All the the babies were VERY active, especially baby C, his heart was really going at 153 bpm with all the moving around he was doing in there. All of the babies looked great, they all had doubled in weight since our last appointment 4 weeks ago. The Dr. really did a CLOSE look at each heart. It was AMAZING! All of the babies have 4 chamber hearts. He was able to "blood flow overlay" on the ultrasound of their hearts that very clearly showed the blood flow going into their hearts in red and the blood pumping out of their hearts in blue. He was very happy with what he saw, which was no issues great hearts!
The measurements looked real good too. Baby A, our girl, was lagging a bit behind the average but he was not concerned. They are still young and very small and he said that any lagging behind is just magnified right now because we are dealing with such a small number and light weight. Baby A and B were 10 ounces and baby C was 11 ounces. If she were lagging behind a bunch at 3 pounds there would be more to worry about. He is just going to watch her at this point.
We were able to confirm with 100% accuracy that we are going to have 2 boys and a girl! Good stuff, good stuff! Above is Baby C sucking his thumb! :)
Katie is doing great! Her blood pressure was PERFECT. The cervix exam went great too. Her cervix hasn't changed a bit since our last visit a month ago. He did the pressure test and it was holding very strong. He was very happy with that part of the appointment as well. We are just taking it real easy at nights and on weekends and it seems to be working. The Dr. wants to see us again in three weeks. We go back next week to our regular OBGYN next Friday for another look!
In the next couple of weeks I am going to be beginning to work on our downstairs nursery. We've already picked out the color of the room, need to get a ceiling fan up in there, etc. We are going to use this downstairs nursery initially until they are ready to go upstairs into their full time nursery. Once that happens we are going to convert the nursery downstairs into a playroom down the line. I'll be sure to post pictures on the progress of the room.
We continue to be overwhelmed each day by the miracle and the wonderful blessings that the Lord has given us. We continue to pray and thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers. It really means so much to both us...
Till the next update... Peace, love and good bye 30's!
T&K
Keep up the good work!!! Both of you!!!
